I just completed a series of portrait images for Portland Monthly magazine depicting a whole assembly of Portlander’s who are doing great things for the world.
Music, nutrition, university fees and more are topics the subjects are addressing in this feature magazine article.
Julia Plowman (pictured below), the founder of The Girl Effect, is one of the subjects featured, relaying her newest entrepreneurial path.
I had the exciting pleasure of working on three articles for the Winter 2011 issue of 1859 Magazine. Traveling to the wilds of Oregon’s most remote SE corner to the town of Plush, I photographed the conflict over mining sunstones. For another article, I met several people who chucked their corporate jobs and re-invented themselves. And I met a most special man, John Callahan, the literary executive of Ralph Ellison’s unfinished manuscripts.
Thank you, Kevin Max, for giving me these assignments. They rock my world.
It was an honor to be selected to create images for the Urban League’s State Of Black Oregon report, released in July 2009. They used my images on the cover of the report, as well as in the body of the report. A launch ceremony will be held on July 27 at 10:00am outside of the World Trade Center.
I got the call out of the blue one day. Aryan Chappell knew that I had taken photos of his late father, Walter Chappell, on two occasions in the 1990s. Aryan had just written an article about his father for Black and White Magazine and requested that I include a portrait to accompany the article.
The article is a lovely account of a wonderful photographer, painter and brilliantly creative human being. Thank you, Aryan, for giving us a view into your father’s remarkable life.
We miss you, Walter.
(See more images of Walter, and how I came to meet him, on my website, 2nd page under “Projects”.)
NEED Magazine published online my essay I wrote about the experience of photographing on assignment for Mercy Corps in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
