When I was growing up, we’d spend just about every summer out in the Pacific Northwest.  My Dad would teach and perform at music festivals (sometimes my mom too!) and we’d spend the glorious summer months in some of the most beautiful and scenic places around.  We primarily stayed in Seattle, a small little island […]

Restaurants, cafes, bars and coffee shops have always delighted me beyond the food and drink.  I love the architecture, design, and style of spaces and how it all comes together to give you a terrific experience.  I’m making it a point to start documenting some of that inspiration.  Here are a couple recent snaps from […]

Somehow, ever so quickly we have arrived at August.  I’m an optimist so I still think we’ve got a couple more good months of awesome weather around here.  With any luck we’ll dip into some October beauty as well.  For now though, I’m enjoying every droplet from growing tomatoes on my balcony to swimming in […]

There’s something about seeing the sliver of sky through a long hallway of buildings.  The evening light last night was bouncing all over with a warm glow.  I just had to keep a little bit of it.

One of the best things about having pretty great friends is that they do some pretty great things.  Like, ‘oh we’re having a baby…let’s all go have some delicious food and beer and hang out for a bit to celebrate’.  Today’s rad friend award goes to soon-to-be-parents, the Rittenmyers.  Essentials for this shindig included cornhole, a hilarious game […]

Morning Coffee

I love it when friends come to visit because it’s just another excuse to try a new place you haven’t been to yet.  My list remains lengthy.  In my year away (while in SF), so many spots cropped up in Seattle I have yet to try.  Coffee and wine shop Vif in Fremont is one such […]

I work full time at an online education company that offers up creative education (including photography) for free!  It’s a pretty awesome mission.  One of my co-workers, Justin is leaving us to go pursue his dreams and it’s inspiring to spend a bit of time with him.  This week as he’s wrapping it all up […]

Moving day

I have lived in 8 cities, spent summers in 3 others, and moved within the same city countless times.  It would seem that I am a modern nomad.  What that says about me I’ll let my therapist decide.  What I propose is that I’m a seeker and my parents before me.  The NW seems to have […]
