Dante Meade will be competing in the USA Roller Sports Indoor Inline Nationals - Speedskating Division in Lincoln, Nebraska, July 13-19. Shot this portrait for a feature that will run in the paper next week. I put a full CTO and a 1/4 CTO gel on the main light to warm the photo up a bit (and semi match the available light) and then left the backlight bare with a strip box for the blue highlight....

Spent last weekend in the Roseburg area, covering an awesome wedding on a private ranch in Roseburg on Saturday night and another at the Milo Academy in Days Creek on Sunday. Driving back to my hotel Saturday night down a one lane dirt road in the dark I almost nailed one cow and two deer. I didn't even see the cow until I looked out my driver's side window and he was about 12 inches from it, I...

Jordyn and I took a little trip down to San Diego today to go the Mariners/Padres game at Petco Park with my little brother Kevin. She had a blast. I never thought I would have to come to SoCal to beat the heat, but while it was 97 and muggy in Portland, it was a nice 78 with a light breeze here in San Diego. Perfect baseball weather. Here is baby J enjoying the centerfield sandbox....

The setup on this shot was pretty complex, I used a total of 6 lights, a mix of alien bee's, white lightning's and a...

Shot a bunch of stuff down at the park today for upcoming posters and programs, here is one I like. He is the "iron man" of the team, playing every minute of every game for the last 50 games or something like that. Pick up a program when it comes out and read all about it....

Shot a couple of good ones Friday and Saturday last week. First on Friday I shot for the first time at the Aerie at Eagle Landing, which I thought was a very cool spot and less than 5 minutes from my house, so that's a bonus too! Jake and Lindsay hold the record for seeing their photos the fastest. The reception ended at 11:30 Friday night and I had to catch a 6am flight Saturday to Denver for...
