Family day

I spent part of the day today with my good friends, Jed and Ellen, on Vashon. After many years of living in the great northwest, they are moving to Maine. I've photographed Jed and Ellen throughout the years as they marked the special events in their life...the two of them as a couple, Ellen's pregnancy, the birth of their son, their new family, new puppy and now at our last photo session together, Jed's mom and husband.
I wish them well as they embark on this new adventure. Thank you guys for letting me and my family be a part of yours. You will be missed!

Halloween on Vashon-the show

Tonight was my artist opening for my "Halloween on Vashon" show at Cafe Luna for the 4th year in a row.
This project started as something personal many years ago that has turned into an annual tradition on Vashon Island. Free Halloween portraits for anyone in costume, then an exhibit of the best 25 images the following February at Cafe Luna.

Dogs

Dogs...They are our best friends, our 1st kids, sometimes our only kid. Oscar is our dog of 3 years. A little quirky at times, goofy, but a great dog.

The Light

OK, So I missed day two of my 28 days of pictures. Here's what I saw yesterday as I was leaving the house. The light was gorgeous as it shone on the remnants of our snowman. The hat and home made scarf were the last things standing when the snow melted last month.

Another 30 (more like 28) day challenge

So after almost 2 months of not writing anything, I'm finally feeling the urge to start up again and I want to challenge myself...again.
Last year I blogged every day for the month of September. Starting today, I will be posting a new image every day through February.
If may be an image I took that day from a job, it may be an image from my archives, or it might be something I saw as I was going about my day with my family. It will be organic, no rhyme or reason, just because I want to find out what I see on a daily basis when I carry my camera everywhere I go.
I've called today's photo "I'm having a bad day".

Elf Photos

Dec 5th was the arrival of Santa on Vashon Isl and I was doing Elf photos for the community as a toy drive for Toys for Tots.
Being the first year doing this, we got about only 30 kids, and a nice box of toys for donation. A couple of images will be a part of a larger show coupled with my Halloween portraits later in February.
