Beautiful Betsey

i've admired betsey since we first met. she was my instructor while we traveled abroad and learned about marine things in hawaii, fiji, and australia in 2001. it was a trip of a lifetime and actually the start of my photography passion. it's great that we now share the same hometown and i was honored to snap some belly pics for her the day of her baby shower. she has this great apartment with a vintage feel and i could have shot there all day!











this is a holga shot


all oregon newborns must have a tiny tie-die onesie!


this was the sunset later that evening...amazing!

Holy Snow!

it has been so beautiful in Portland the last few days! more snow then i've ever seen here. it's made me pretty lazy thats for sure. i've gotten out for walks here and there, although it doesnt look like it in these pics :)

friday nights snow...


and fire...

Pinholin'

yay! my first successful role of film on the pinhole! here are the blog worthy images :)
enjoy!

i soon realized that beginning this whole "slow photography" thing in the winter wasn't the best choice! this images was 8 minutes and has a little motion because the gorillapod was wrapped around a railing and i assume the wind or the bridge wasn't rock steady...

Newport Blues

i think thats an appropriate title for these images taken with my holga (medium format film toy cam). i went out to visit ahna the last weekend in october and we were so lucky to have amazing fabulous oregon coast weather! i still can't get over how perfect it was!

this image is composed of 3 overlapping images...
