marionberry muffins

meredith was doing some late night baking the other day, so i got in on the action.

the old men of the vineyard

recently i was hired by bethel heights, an amazing winery in salem, to shoot their vineyard top to tail. although it may seem a little odd to do so in february, the weather was beautiful, the grounds were lush and the shots turned out great.

my favorite series is of some 30 year old pinot vines on the property. gorgeous.

thrift store project pt. 1

i am always finding great figures at thrift stores with really rich, road worn and weary personalities, so i've decided to start shooting some portraits. this will hopefully gain momentum as the months go on. here is my first character study. dig the hand painted owl on her dress. the back has an equally detailed painting.

thats ma boy

12 feet high and rising

how bout dem apples! there really is no feeling like standing in the middle of the street and seeing your images ten feet tall. here are a couple of the first round of Google Hotpot billboard ads i shot. hopefully many more to come...

Fresh Cup February

the february issue of fresh cup just hit the stands, with my image on the cover. (thats two covers in 4 months, but who's countin, right?)

pick one up today! or tomorrow. thats cool too.

tour of duty

for those who haven't yet heard the harrowing tale, i had the pleasure of spending 13 hours stuck at the scenic Newark Airport, snowed in. after i went to try and catch a cab, i wasn't allowed back thru security so i got to spend the night on the marble floored entry way. luckily i had a garment bag, which made a mighty fine bed roll.

at 630 the next morning i got a lift home from the most amazing and daring hatian man in all of north jersey. he was fearless, delivering me to my doorstep. i gave him 87 dollars and three Bayer asprin. pretty sure that makes us BFFs for life.

thats him in the background. not pictured: the leather wingtips i am wearing 22 inches below the snowline.

eat yer heart out Louis Vuittoon...

my brother justin is visiting the US from china for a month so i flew back east to spend a little quality time with him and the extended reamer family.

now, china is known for many important contributions to modern society, certinly not the least of which is wonderfully misspelled haute couture. or should we say howt cochure...

i believe it was RUN DMC who so notably said "calvin klain, no friend of mane, dont want nobody's name on my behaind."

elvis has not left the building

elvis is alive and well, and he Loves the Rose City Rollers!

merry christmas

this holiday took meredith and i from the oregon coast to the far side of mt. hood. we had a great time with family, eating, drinking, board-gaming and snow shoeing. now its just about time to get back to work...

life imitating art imitating life

here is one of my favorite images of all time, take in 1952 in Pamplona Spain by Henri Cartier-Bresson:

and here is an image captured last month in San Francisco:

getting the band back together

the 2010 reunion tour of the Wet Seal Bandits kicked off last month in San Fransisco. good times....

our backyard; december afternoon light

these were all shot within 15 minutes on a sunday afternoon in december.

Fleur de Lis bakery

i mean, seriously. how freakin good do these pastries look???

shooting at nostrana

of all the restaurants i have under my belt in PDX, this was my first time shooting at nostrana. I had about 20 min of fading winter light. perfect to capture the Pizza Luganega.

my first Portland Monthly cover!!!

happy birthday to me! this month the portland monthly 2010 restaurant guide hit the stands with one of my pics on the cover. i shot all three articles too, 29 photos in all, so pick one up and see what ive been doing for the past month and a half.

montinore vineyards

as much food as i shoot, i rarely get the opportunity to spend a day shooting at a vineyard. montinore was beautiful and owner Rudy, his daughter Kristen, and the whole gang were great to spend the day with. here are some of my faves.

dawn sharp

i recently met dawn sharp when i did some portraits of her for portland fashion week. i had already fallen in love with the light quality in dawns house when she mentioned she needed some shots of her new line, so we got together last week and with the help of local model kayleen (check her out at model mayhem) we made some beautiful shots.

the holga goes to thailand

personal assignment in thailand

so on top of shooting everything and everyone i came across while in thailand, i gave myself a little assignment: to shoot the perfect scooter shot. everyone (and i do mean everyone) rides scooters, so subject matter is plentiful. here are my two best.

dave (and meredith) go to thailand

so if you havent heard, we just got back from 11 amazing days in thailand. everything aligned to make for a perfect trip. i took over 1000 images and 6 rolls of 120 film (which will be in a later post). to see all my favorites, click here: thailand.

here is a little something to whet the appetite.

dave shoots a wedding

it doesnt happen often, but every now and then shooting a wedding can be a blast. out at viridian farms, john, renee and a whole bunch of cool people had a hell of a time.

sometimes you just gotta shoot it...

came across this bowl of garlic while shooting at Evoe this week. it just looked too cool to pass up.
