espen: turning three.

Tuesday, February 2, 2010

That’s right, the boy is now three!  Crazy to believe we’ve already come this far.  So, in celebration he and I mad a photo booth the other night and proceeded to take photos of one another.  He decided on all the hats, and other random props.  He also did an amazing job of taking photos, for which I gladly posed.  The image of the two of us together was taking by EP using a remote shutter release.  Very cool!  Leave some birthday love for the little man if you have a moment.

And this one (below) I just had to include as it captures his amazing eyes, and would be great for a got milk ad.

February 3, 2010 - 12:15 am Joel - Truly, I don't think they could have been hung any better.

February 3, 2010 - 12:14 am Jess - Your photos were awesome and I'm glad they were up for 2 months. It left me more time to brag about my connection to the artist and his family. By the way, they were hung in such an eye-catching way ;)

adam sweeney: recording at the woods.

Wednesday, January 27, 2010

A very good friend of mine, Adam Sweeney, is in the process of recording his next album.  I’ve had the privilege to help engineer at various points on his earlier albums, as well as play on the albums.  You should definitely check out his site and listen to some of his music!  We had a lot of fun touring around MA while we lived on the east coast, playing some fun shows in local venues.  I had the chance to capture one of his recent recording sessions at the Woods on the Eastside of Portland.  The place is a funeral home converted into an awesome new music venue, and it was fun to check it out and hear them record.  I’ll post more of the session soon…here a fun one of the setup – Adam moving equipment around.

portland wedding: chilling at the nines.

Wednesday, January 27, 2010

Here’s a quick revisit to a fall wedding I haven’t posted much on.  I was shooting with Mike Long at the Secret Society, and the below shot was at the Nines.  And congrats to you Mike for getting to shoot Animoto’s new marketing photos!
