From the Archive: Pine Ridge Rodeo

Last summer I made my annual pilgrimage to Pine Ridge, South Dakota to explore the culture, space, and communities of the Lakota. I mostly shot medium format portraits throughout the trip, but switched over to shoot a rodeo that was taking place not far from the main street that runs through the town. It's always a heartbreaking yet joyful experience to spend time in Pine Ridge. This is one of the shots that slipped through the cracks.

Rainy Day Walk

It's been a rainy January in Seattle and sometimes that rainy weather just makes me want to curl up on the couch and watch a bad movie or a bunch of bad movies. So yesterday to combat that urge, I grabbed my rain jacket and camera bag and decided to walk around and create some photographs.

Amazon for Manager Magazin

I recently shot an assignment for the German publication Manager Magazin. They wanted me to take photos at Amazon to create an atmosphere that their reader's could relate to. Unfortunately, Amazon is a really difficult place to shoot because once you take your camera out, especially inside, the security guards are on you like flies on....well, you get the point. It was a fun little shoot though and a really great publication to work for. Here is a sample of the work. The completed layout used work shot by myself, John Keatley, and Stuart Isett. It was great to see so many local names in the bi-lines.

Last month I worked on a story for The New York Times on youth homelessness and spent time at ROOTS Youth Adult Shelter in the University District in Seattle.

Pam Tufts for The Wall Street Journal

I recently shot a portrait of Pam Tufts for The Wall Street Journal. I always have a good time shooting natural light portraits. I find it to be challenging and depending on the light, architecture, and subject, it's always fun to try and make everything come together. Here are some of my favorites from the shoot.
