     Every first Thursday of the month, artists at the Northrup King Building open their studios to the public to view/ purchase their work. I find this to be a fun and relaxing way to spend an evening. Before or after checking out our photos, you'll get to see numerous other artists and their work! Stop on by! We would really appreciate it.

     A special thanks goes out to our photo instructor, Sarah Whiting, for being a huge part of providing the space for our show!

TWS - Your Turn Photo Contest

     Roughly a few months ago, I entered an image of Dan Liedahl into Your Turn Photo Contest - an amateur photo contest held by Transworld Snowboarding Magazine. There were four categories to enter in: "Ultimate Jib", "Into The Dark", "White Room", and "Pipe Dreams". My image won the "Ultimate Jib" category. Now we are down to the four finalists of each category. The winner receives a free trip to High Cascade Snowboard Camp to be a part of the photography workshop they hold there. This would be a huge opportunity to make some photographs and to make some great connections. Check the link below to see the photo I entered, as well as the other three finalists.

Portfolio Round 2

     I'm way overdue on posting these photos. Lately, I have been preparing for graduation and a couple upcoming portfolio shows I am participating in (one of which is my graduation show). I will make a blog post on the events soon. For now though, here are a few images I turned in for the second round of photos for my portfolio class.

     Thanks goes out to Marlene for inviting me into her home to photograph her. Thanks also goes to Bob and Irene for having my grandma, my mom, and myself over for snacks and photos. This year marks Bob and Irene's 60th Wedding Anniversary! What great inspiration they are to us all.

** To clear up any confusion, the two people photographed below do not know each other in any way (just in case some of you mix up the names Marlene and Irene).

     A special thanks goes out to, Christopher Broll, for his assistance in post production of the last image. It's amazing what he is capable of in Photoshop. www.christopherallen.ph.
