Concur for Seattle Business

Job Inverviews for The Chronicle of Higher Education

I had a great shoot with a new client several weeks ago. The editor at the Chronicle of Higher Education had a great last minute assignment dealing with preparing for job interviews and the Modern Language Association Convention in Seattle. It was a fun shoot following around Javier Jiménez, a Berkeley Ph.D. candidate in comparative literature, as he prepared for several job interviews over the weekend. Here are some images from the shoot.

Neah Bay for The New York Times

Neah Bay is an incredible place. It's not everyday you get an assignment to drive to a beautiful place and are tasked with creating beautiful imagery. It has been a long stretch of business portraits so I was happy to get back to some candid assignment work. Having never been to the northwest tip of the OIympic Peninsula I was not sure what to expect. I knew it would be windy and I knew it would be cold, but beyond that I had no expectations. The first day, reporter Bill Yardley and I trudged through ankle deep mud to get a look at Shi Shi Beach and watched the waves crash against incredibly jagged rocky pinnacles. It was also nice to visit the Take Home Fish Company and try out some of their amazing smoked salmon. Here are some photographs from the shoot. View Article Here>>>

Pine Ridge Work in Indian Country Today

Check out the rest of the Tearsheets Here>>>
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season filled with good friends and family. Although I haven't been able to get back to Pine Ridge this year my project has kept popping up in various publications this past year including TIME, Indian Country Today, and HUCK Magazine. I plan on continuing this project in a more specific way in the coming year, but it's always nice when the phone rings and an editor tells you that your work has been licensed by another publication. This time it was the wonderful people at REDUX who licensed some of my Pine Ridge imagery to Indian Country Today that ran over 8 pages. Keep an eye out for new work from Pine Ridge in the coming year.

Decide for The New York Times

I have been doing a lot of business portraits lately for various publications. This one was with Prof. Oren Etzioni, Co-Founder & CTO of Decide, who created an iPhone application that makes shopping for electronics easier by comparing prices and brands using data patterns. Here are a couple portraits from the shoot.

30th Birthday and Engagement!

It's been an amazing couple of weeks. After spending ten days working in Maine on a great project for the University of New England, and visiting with my parents, I asked my best friend and beautiful girlfriend (now fiance) to marry me. We headed out to Orcas Island for the weekend to stay at Doe Bay, a quiet little bay in the San Juan's with one of the best restaurants I have been to. It was a great little trip with Terry during the frosty winter months in the Pacific Northwest. After we returned to Seattle, we met with a group of our friends for Thanksgiving and my sister surprised me by showing up from Nashville for the Thanksgiving/Birthday extravaganza. The last couple of weeks have been amazing.

Day in the Life Project for The University of New England

I had the opportunity to work with the great folks at the University of New England on a "Day in the Life" project of students in a variety of programs throughout the undergraduate and graduate programs offered at the University. It was fun to use my photojournalism skills for a more corporate style shoot, highlighting some of the interesting aspects of UNE. Here is a selection of some of my personal favorites.
