It has been a while since I have posted any thing due to many factors but more posts will be coming in the future. (For the 2 people that actually do seem to read this)
In the mean time here are a few pictures I shot of Phantogram at Sasquatch Music Festival a couple months back.

Stay tuned for much more. The last couple months have been very hectic. But, I have some great shoots lined up and things will be taking off later this Summer and Fall.

I had the chance to ride from Seattle to Portland with Watch It Sparkle for the start of their 2010 west coast tour. What I was hoping to do was to ride along with them and not capture the band on tour as much as some of the details of Touring.
It didn’t go as well as I planned–That is a good thing.
The van only had 15 miles on it when we picked up so no flat tires…
Everyone got along well…
Justin kept his pants on…
Starr was excited to be playing with PeeLander Z…
Steb was keeping his eyes on the road for any sign of Sasquatch…
And I was counting volcanoes…
It wasn’t that I didn’t get some good shots. Some of the live shots are really nice. The venue was Kelly’s Olympian in Portland, Oregon. A cool place filled with vintage motorcycles on one side and a decent little stage on the other. Never mind the fact their drinks are good too.
It would have been great to continue on with them but Hood River was waiting for me. One thing I did learn on my short little trip is to sit behind the driver.
Stay tuned for a full set of images in the coming days.

The documentary with the working title of Somarpho was shot last summer has cleared another hurdle. I now have Fiscal Sponsorship through IFP Seattle. With this Somarpho will be under IFP’s nonprofit umbrella and can solicit donations and gifts all with tax benefits to donors.
Somarpho shares with the world a look into the lives of Balti porters high in the mountains of Pakistan. It was shot and now needs your help to get to the screen. The Balti are wonderful warm people living in one of the most militaristically, politically and turbulently charged areas of the world.
It is all coming together quickly. Please stay tuned for details and feel free to contact me regarding Somarpho and how you can help get it to the screen.

As some of you may know I was hired to go to Pakistan last Summer to shoot a film about Vittorio Sella. Over the course of the last six months the Sella project has slowed and finally stalled.
Now, I am trying to get the footage I shot moving forward in order to make a film about the Balti people. The negatives have been in limbo at the lab and it is starting to itch my creative mind. This itch needs to be scratched!! You can see some of the still images from my trip at the post titled Pakistan: Mountains.
By giving you will help me to not only pay for the processing costs but the costs of transfer and editing. My needs are meager by comparison to some films but more than I can handle in the moment.
You will see the PayPal Donate button. Any amount in the tip jar will be appreciated.
