Our group iPortland show received quite a bit of press, even landing a spot on the evening local news. It has been great fun to be a part of this show. All images were taken by professional photographers with their cell phones. The show started at Newspace Center For Photography and is currently at Gallery 135, both locations in Portland, Oregon.
On February 17 I will be giving a presentation with Dr. Renee Edwards and Dr. Rahel Nardos (both from OHSU) and Dr. Philippa Ribbink (Everywoman’s Health) about medical efforts in Ethiopia. Marylhurst University, 7pm.

Luz Gallery will be printing a limited run of two images from Ethiopia. I will be donating all of my proceeds during December and January to our Footsteps To Healing medical project in Mota, Ethiopia. Once this edition sells out, these two images at this 6X9 will be retired.

A friend entered one of my pig photos in the Wasco County Fair in Eastern Oregon, and it won a ton of awards.
Oink! Oink!
Hail to the pig!
Please join me this Sunday from 12-4pm at downtown Portland’s World Trade Center 121 SW Salmon Street as we unveil the 2010 Children’s Cancer Association Hero Wall. The Hero Wall is comprised of 25 portraits of children and teens who have made an impact within our community despite facing severe medical conditions.
The Hero distinction is given to children and teens in Oregon and Washington who have exuded grace, strength and extraordinary character during their life-threatening illness. They stand unified to represent thousands of others who face similar circumstances.
While photographing these Heros over the past three years, I consistently am reminded of what is truly important in life: a tender exchange, an outreached hand, an appreciation for making each day the very best, an ability to take a few risks, and humor.
It has been an honor to learn from these Heros and their families.
Special thanks to Pro Photo Supply for file prep and printing of all of the images.
Sneak opening shot of our “ReFraming ReEntry” show at Mercy Corps’ Action Center. We gave cameras and journals to women exiting Coffee Creek Prison so they could document their transition experiences. It is a powerful exhibit! We were all surprised at the results.
The show will open to the public during 9/2 First Thursday. Come out to encourage and celebrate these women as they turn their lives around!
Huge shout out thank you to PushDot for the amazing prints.
