The best of the Oregon Bach Festival
This was the fourth year of working with the Oregon Bach Festival. My roll as photographer for the festival has changed a bit over the years as we continue to add many excellent photographs to their library. Now I get to concentrate on more of the highlights of the festival and less of the day to day activities. A few of my favorite moments with Bach festival this year were, YoYo Ma both during and after his concert, Matthew Halls during rehearsal, and Helmut Rilling backstage before the final concert. This year I delivered over a thousand images to OBF, here are a few of my top favorites for you to enjoy.
Art Show at the Eugene Airport
A portion of Solitude and Absolute Form is on display currently at the Eugene Airport. The show run through September. Several of the prints will then be on loan to the University of Oregon Law School. This show brings new meaning to “you need a ticket to get in”, as the gallery is located behind security. Thank you to the Jacobs Gallery for inviting me to show this work and for all of the help with the installation.

5×5
This last week I photographed Falon, Matt & James from the band 5×5. This shoot started out as doing some senior portraits of just Falon but turned into a fun session with entire band. They will be releasing a CD in the coming month, images from this shoot will be used in the final layout of the CD.

A little bit of solitude. Three sisters wilderness
On the heals of a very secussful artist reception for my show Solitude & Absolute Form I felt it fitting to head out and work on some new work. The dogs and headed into the Three Sisters Wilderness to a series of lakes between south and middle sister. The first night felt more like fall then summer with a good sized storm system moving through the mountains. We camped at about 7000 feet at Camp lake which is the eastern most lake in the Chambers lakes area. The second night was warm without wind and very pleasant. Over the course of three days we hiked about 20 miles, which for little Chaz was plenty. I had two optical failures, my macro lens stopped focusing at infinity and I lost a lens from my cheap sunglasses. Otherwise a very pleasant trip.
Solitude & Absolute Form + Artist Reception
A reception will be held on the evening of Aug 19th at the University of Oregon Natural and Cultural Museum for my show “Solitude & Absolute Form” which showcases the diverse landscapes of Oregon, California and Nevada. The reception runs form 6 to 7:30 pm. This is a great opportunity to explore some of my more personal work which has taken me to some very remote locations. I look forward to seeing you there. Admission is free.
Summer Days + Watermelon
Summer is finally here in Eugene Oregon. The dogs are hot, lazy and bored. The Oregon Bach Festival has been in full swing for the last 2 and half weeks. Tonight’s concert of Elijah wraps up the 40th year of the festival. It has been fun to see all the familiar faces and to make some new friends. Be on the look out for my favorite pics from this year. I took a little break between photo assignments to see my good friends out at Oakshire Brewing last Thursday as they were hosting the July YPN event for the Eugene Chamber. Enjoyed some great beer with friends and snapped some quick pics with my favorite iPhone Camera App Hipstamatic. This app allows you to “change” lenses ands film types to create some really fun cool looks. Sure I could do all of this in post on my computer, but really would I ever bother to do so with my iPhone pic’s? With this app I actually use my camera on my phone and enjoy it.
So here is Conner enjoying a summer evening and making a mess of some watermelon.

Edgewood Animal Clinic Staff Photos
I had lots of fun shooting staff photos at Edgewood Animal Clinic for their new website. We photographed both the four legged and two legged staff members over the course of two sessions at their 40th & Donald Eugene location.
