Engagement: Chris and Alicia
It’s finally happening. My friends are getting married. It’s one of those moments in my life that punched me in the back of the head with the realization that I’m getting older. Luckily, it also meant an opportunity to try out something I’ve always been interested in, but have never had the chance to do: [...]
Central for Willamette Week
While recently consolidating my work from the past 5 years, I noticed a cool look to all my photographs. Not the awesome or dope or fresh or sweet or hip definition for the word. (Or whatever slang term “the kids” are using for “cool” these days.) The temperature. By the looks of it, I was [...]
Remembering “Papa”

Saturday was the NCAA West Regional Cross Country Championships. In high school, cross country was what I lived for. Actually, it’s probably what kept me going to [...]
5-on-1

However, I can’t really hate a photo of one man flying above five. Especially when it’s a Duck. I shot the opening exhibition game for the Ducks against Concordia [...]
Music Fluff
Fluffy post time. I just feel like I need another update here, so I’m sharing some stuff from Musicfest NW. My biggest complaint about stage photography is that it all ends up looking so damn similar. But with so many different venues in Portland, I tried to take some stuff that was pretty unique to [...]
Spc. Jason Kim
This is my roommate. Jason Kim. A couple weeks ago, Jason asked me to take some photographs of him in his uniform. It was his last day of service after 10 years in the Army. I asked him where we should take the photos. “The forest.”
