Zulily. Blue Nile. Now Home Depot. The first two he founded- he chairs all three. Wow. I can change the brakes on my van…how does that stack up?

Witnessing resuscitation, for The New York Times
UW’s Dr. Rosemarie Fernandez recently published a study indicating family members who were able to observe CPR and other resuscitation efforts on dying loved ones experienced greatly reduced post-traumatic stress, anxiety and depression. Full story here.
Michele James, for Seattle Met
Since the first time I ever laid eyes on Seattle, driving up 99, approaching the viaduct, running alongside the Duwamish as it meets the Sound, I’ve always fantasized about doing portraits of someone down with all those containers, underneath the big cranes. Well it finally happened. And what better person to shoot there than Michele...
Leprosy test, for The New York Times
Pretty unassuming folks can do incredibly amazing things. Truly. Malcolm Duthie is a very approachable, humble, down-to-earth type fellow; nothing beyond his Scottish accent would draw much attention his way. And yet he will save countless lives with the development of his rapid test for leprosy. What used to take days can be achieved in...
Gun rights warrior, for The Wall Street Journal
Alan Gottlieb is a man on a mission. For years his foundation has been targeting local ordinances that violate states’ pre-emption laws, threatening lawsuits to remove city bans on guns. He successfully challenged San Francisco’s ban on handguns in 2008, and is the reason you can carry firearms into public parks in Seattle.
Steampunk scholar, for SU Magazine
I’ve been doing a lot of portraiture lately, and some definitely more stylized than what I would consider normal for me. It’s been fun- learning to embrace the control. These are some portraits I shot for Seattle University: a professor who is making Steampunk an object of academic inquiry.
Marvin Kempf, Snoqualmie Nation, for Seattle Met
This is a fascinating story by Matthew Halverson about the huge mess the Snoqualmie Tribe’s membership issue has become. The piece centers on one man, a descendant of a former chief, who has had to fight for his own recognition by the tribe and by doing so has called into question the legitimacy of much...
SmartLab, mad science toy makers, for The New York Times
My son Leo is not quite old enough for this right now, but if in a couple years these guys are still cranking out models of humans and animals with sticky/squishy, anatomically correct brains and innards, I know exactly what I’ll be stuffing into his Christmas stocking.
On assignment: sniper kids
I nearly stepped on these guys today. They were hunkered down in some brush in a field near Eatonville, right where I was doing some portraits for Cityvision Magazine. They saw us coming and hid as we approached. About 20 minutes into the shoot they jumped up and ran off, inadvertently scaring the bejesus out...
