This post might be a little long.. if you want to cut to the chase click here to buy a great song on iTunes to defray medical expenses for Anna Joy’s care.
Over the 2011 Christmas Holiday many of my closest friends were glued to the story of baby Anna Joy , a miracle from Heaven born with two serious heart defects. We prayed, we cried, we rejoiced, we prayed and cried and prayed some more. Through it all Anna Joy, while not of our flesh and blood, became family to hundreds of thousands of... Read Full Story

Christmas is amazing. Mostly because of Jesus.. Christmas is the time of year we celebrate His coming to earth which ultimately lead to His sacrifice for our sins. Thank you Jesus for the most amazing gift of all.
Christmas is also magical because of all the great lights and events of the season. I was married during the Christmas season 20 years ago, December 21st 1991. I love everything about Christmas, especially Studio West Dance Academy’s production of The Nutcracker. I’m so proud to... Read Full Story

I don’t live in NYC or Washington DC so I don’t duck and cover when an airplane seems to be flying to low to the ground. However, 9/11 isn’t an NYC or a DC thing. 9/11 is a loss that affected the entire country and there is no going back to the naive life we lived on 9/10.
9/11 is the day in modern history when the blood feud of Ishmael and Isaac spilled over into the Gentile Christian world. I will not forget that day, nor will I ever sleep in ignorance again. The USA, founded as a... Read Full Story

Hey! Ever want to escape to rural America and experience real people having real fun? All the time! I was asked to join my sister in photographing the Willamina Oregon, Mud Drags on Jun 25th, 2011.
It was a blast! Roaring engines, flying mud, real people being themselves having a great time. It’s a real family event with people traveling in from all over the Pacific Northwest to enjoy the festivities.
The race was run by Total Destruction Racing at the request of the city of Willamina... Read Full Story

Last Sunday I found myself standing at the viewing area of the Munson Creek Falls near Tillamook Oregon. This waterfall drops 319′ feet making it the tallest in the Coastal Range. More on how to get to the falls and the region can be found here. http://www.oregonstateparks.org/park_245.php
I was riding my motorcycle and hadn’t packed a tripod which precluded me from taking a typical long exposure shot to “silkify” the water. Yes, I just made up that word, “silkify”, kinda has a ring to it... Read Full Story

Today I went on a ride to meet a man doing something most of us would consider impossible. He’s riding from Canada to Mexico…. in a wheelchair.
James Barnett has Muscular Dystrophy but he’s not letting it keep him from experiencing adventure. His goal is to raise money to promote adventures for other wheelbound people. While speaking with him today I caught just a bit of his passion. James dreams of riders with diseases like his own along with others like Disabled Veterans wounded... Read Full Story

I’ve had the honor of witnessing a fresh move of God within the Pacific Northwest Native American Nations. Elders and Chairmen from several Nations gathered on the Lummi reservation this weekend to claim back their next generations from alcohol, drugs, and all manner of sinful oppression. These proud peoples are boldly proclaiming God’s Word, are entering into relationship with Christ and are seeing a wave of The Holy Spirit move to heal relationships, addictions, and physical needs.
Thank... Read Full Story

It’s already the 13th of January 2011! How’d we get this far into the new year without me posting? I’ve been insanely busy. Busy doing what I believe is God’s work; prayer, spiritual warfare, ministry, raising my children and loving my wife. I’ve also been busy with distractions.. College Football Bowl Games, NFL Playoffs, entertainment. I know my God understands a bit of a diversion, I’m sure Jesus played catch with the neighborhood kids in Nazareth but do I really have to watch every... Read Full Story

Ok, so here’s the skinny on how I can quickly get pictures turned around for web and initial customer review. Actions. Actions are automatic functions in Photoshop that perform editing steps all by themselves. It’s Magic!
No, it’s MCP Action s. Jodi, over at MCP Actions has put together quite a portfolio of actions every photographer from novice to professional will find very useful. Some are free… who doesn’t love free? … some are not, but all are worth your time to check them out.

Since 2006 I’ve participated in the Olympia Toy Run . It’s a great event bringing together 12,000 plus motorcyclists to donate toys and cash to the Salvation Army for distribution to kids as Christmas Presents in the region.
Last year my whole family enjoyed the event but due to Nut Cracker ballet and Church Choir rehearsals only myself and my amazing boy Brandon enjoyed it.
Our 7:30 AM departure welcomed us with clear skies and a temperature just above freezing. We met Erling Selsted... Read Full Story
