a couple of squares

Since we moved to Washoe Valley in March of 2008,  I’ve been making an effort to make photographs of  this beautiful place for a future exhibit and possible book. It has so much character: a lake, streams, sand dunes, desert, forests, mountains, boulders, ranches, cattle, horses, and I haven’t even begun to photograph on the East side of the lake…

I made these two images on my new Hasselblad camera.  The images were made on Kodak Tmax 100 and Fuji NPC 160.

A quick thought about film and prints:

Film and paper prints are made from organic materials (pretty much) and digital images are “virtual” and don’t really exist anywhere until they are processed onto a tangible object like paper.  As an artist who began making photographs before digital was viable, I have a greater appreciation for what the image looks like on paper than what it looks like on a computer screen…perhaps I’m just old school:)

Tara and I made our way up to King’s Beach to photograph Christina and Eric’s wedding.  These two are some of the coolest and most laid back peeps.  Check out a few shots

Sarah + Ty + Elijah

I photographed Sarah and Ty’s wedding two years ago and they called me up this spring to shoot a few pregnancy photos…here’s a little preview.

Thanks guys and I’m looking forward to seeing your little girl…

jillian + tim

Tara and I just got back from photographing Jillian and Tim’s wedding in Kelseyville.  What an amazing family and wedding.  We got there on Friday afternoon and made a few photographs at the party that their friends and family threw for them the evening before.  The day of the wedding was simply beautiful–unseasonably cool!  The wedding was held underneath two giant oak trees and the reception was at Tim’s parents house–”The Maes’ Nut Farm”

Thank you so much to all of you who made this beautiful event happen and thanks for having TJaye and I–we loved every minute of it. Here’s a few of our favorites:
