I’m editing a video I shot for the Chief Seattle Club, a day center/resource hub for Native Americans living in Seattle. I covered a memorial march through downtown and snuck a few stills along the way- realizing how difficult it is to do that. Technically, with the 5d, not a problem, but mentally, going from...

La Renaissance Américaine, part III
My last installment for Le Figaro: a charter boat trip to see Bill Gates’ house on Lake Washington, or, more accurately, the trees in front of Bill Gates’ house. Not sure how useful this will end up being but fun to be a tourist for an afternoon. side note: heard from the USOC yesterday that my...
La Renaissance Américaine, part II

Adventures in Canada
Victoria, B.C.: A little wedding anniversary respite. Again it was nice to step out from the impossible reality that has become my life and career. I’m finding my wife Nicole an increasingly easier subject to photograph and I’m beginning to think maybe she’s taking pity on me. While up there I decided to pursue a...
