Come meet the Photo Cascadia team on November 30 at 7 pm at Elliot Bay Book Company in downtown Seattle. We will have a presentation about the book followed by Q&A. Stop by to say hello while purchasing an autographed book! I look forward to see you there. 

In October I was asked to join as an instructor for the Out of Oregon conference on the Oregon coast put on by Out of Chicago. This event had ~70 participants and a dozen instructors from across the globe. It was a phenomenal experience and we could not have asked for better weather. 5 straight days this time of year with zero rain was amazing. The energy and excitement from everyone attending was truly infectious. Thank you to Out of Chicago for inviting me and for all the work done by the Out of Chicago team. 

As part of the Washington Evergreen book release with my Photo Cascadia friends, we have been invited on a few podcasts to talk about the book, along with what exactly is Photo Cascadia. Here are a couple of
the most recent interviews if you want to take a listen. Worth noting is that we normally only have 4 to 6 on each podcast, getting all 7 of us is nearly impossible with our varying schedules and time zones. It has only happened for one podcast interview so far.

The photography workshops I am co-leading with David Cobb have been posted for signup. Two of them filled up on the day they were released yet we still have some spots open on the others. Take a look and signup for one or more that interest you. We look forward to seeing you at one in 2023!

We Talk Photo invited me back yet this time it was with the full Photo Cascadia team to talk about our new Washington Book that is coming out soon. While conducting a podcast as a group of 6 is a little challenging (Chip couldn't join unfortunately) it's always a good time and usually a few laughs along the way. Listen to it here.

Myself and the rest of the Photo Cascadia team, along with Timber Press, have been working on a beautiful photography book covering the state of Washington. It will be released in October 2022 yet is available for pre-order now. Media coverage is already taking hold with this recent article from PetaPixel on this book. With the continued success of the Oregon book we can't wait for the Washington version to be released!

My long time friend and fellow Photo Cascadia team member, David Cobb, is transitioning out of the workshop business. The timing works out well for me and David has agreed for me to take over his Best of the Northwest Photography workshop business! I am truly thrilled for this new chapter in my life. More details can be found on my workshops page. 

John Pedersen and Jack Graham invited me to chat on their photography podcast We Talk Photo. It was a casual conversation covering a number of topics. I have interacted with John for many years now, going back to the heyday of Flickr and NPN 1.0. Feel free to give it a listen here. 

As an artist that licenses my work for use to different types of businesses it's a welcome surprise to be working with a company that is not only local to the city I live in but also in the same neighborhood! Portland Puzzle Company specializes in not shockingly... puzzles. They have licensed a couple of my photos available for purchase from their website. You might also run across them at retail locations. 

Both "Ocean Flowers" from the Oregon Coast and "Hidden Entry" from Kauai, Hawaii were chosen. 

In 2022 I am excited to be co-leading a handful of photography workshops with David Cobb. The locations for these workshops include Mendocino Headlands, Palouse Hills, Wallowa Country, The Sawtooths, and Southern Oregon Coast. Two are filled already and three others have 4 or less spots left. They will almost surely fill up yet you can always be added to the waitlist. For more details please 2022 David Cobb Workshops. 

After over a decade of using different premade template sites for my photography business I decided it was time to move to something more professional. Jack at Widerange Galleries did an excellent job. I am very happy with the new website, which is a lot more than I could say with past sites, no matter how much work I put into them. Please peruse the new site, if you haven't already, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. Thank you for stopping by.
