Creepy little elf on shelf
The elf on the shelf. This little guy gives me the creeps sometimes. Took this photo during Christmas time in 2010. The lighting was made by a green glowstick/flashlight to add to the creepiness.

The Polar Express
We took Hayden and his friend Claira to see Santa on the Polar Express. This year we boarded the Polar Express in Centralia. We all had fun except for Dawn who thought Santa looked a little ghetto this year. At any rate, the kids liked it. We went to the Country Cousin Family Restaraunt afterwards. …
Mt Walker
My friends Ron and Tess were planning on getting married at the top of Mt Walker at the first of the year and they asked me to photograph their wedding. I figured I better hike up there so I could figure out what the shoot was going to consist of. While I was up ther …
Eagle Creek
Another Eagle Creek hike that I sponsored for the PWC. This time it was just Issac and me.
Umtanum Falls and Black Canyon
In an effort to get away from the rain and for a change of scenery, I drove to Eastern Washington to check out Umtanum Falls and Black Canyon. Both places are located in the Umtanum Area between Ellensburg and Yakima. While I have been to the Lower Umtanum Canyon and ridge area before, this was …
Columbia River Gorge – Camping and exploring with Hayden – Multnomah Falls – Oneonta Gorge – Stonehenge at Maryhill – Gorge Discovery Center – Rowena Crest – Hood River Pipeline Trail – Panorama Point – Bonneville Fish Hatchery
Hayden and I spent the weekend at the Gorge exploring and doing a little camping. Our first stop after the long drive was Multnomah Falls. We mainly were just there for a bathroom break but I couldn’t resist taking a few pictures while we were there.
Goat Lake/Hawkeye Loop – Goat Rocks Wilderness
This was a last minute trip to the Goat Rocks Wilderness. I hiked the Snowgrass – Goat Lake loop with a side trip up to Hawkeye Point. Since it was last minute I couldn’t find anyone who wanted to go so I went solo. A shame since the weather was perfect. I couldn’t have asked …
Portrait of Hayden on our hardwood floor
Portrait of Hayden I took at home on our hardwood floor. There was some really nice filtered light coming in through the sliding glass door of our house in the dining area. I moved the table, chairs and some other furniture out of the way so I could get a nice, clutter free background. I …

Tuck and Robin Lakes day hike
On September 4th 2010 I hosted a day hike to Tuck and Robin lakes with the Peninsula Wilderness Club and the Kitsap Outdoors Meetup group. Originally about 10 people were going to attend but due to the difficulty of the hike and potentially inclement weather, only 4 of us ended up going. The weather actually …
Tubal Cain-Marmot Pass-Dungeness Loop
I originally was not going hiking on this weekend but at the last minute I heard about an overnight trip that Doug and Paul were doing at Marmot Pass. I looked at the logistics and figured I could tag along and make a day trip out of the same hike. The added bonus being that …
Lego Hoth
Hayden got a new Lego set that commemorates the 30th anniversary of the Empire Strikes Back. Couldn’t resist a little photo shoot! Props include his new set, plus a Darth Vader figure he already had and an AT-AT Micro Machine in the background. This is my first attempt at miniature/toy photography.
Silverdale Sunset
Most of my photos are quick shots I take while I am hiking. Sometimes I actually set out to try to get a good shot. This is one of those times. This image was taken from the parking lot at the Harrison Memorial Hospital in Silverdale looking across the town toward the Olympic Mountains at …
Heather Creek, Deception-Royal Basins Loop
After much anticipation, last weekend I finally got to do the Heather Creek, Deception and Royal Basins Traverse that Ancient Ambler wrote about in this trip report a few years back. I went with my friend Doug from the Peninsula Wilderness Club and we made a loop out of it. We left Silverdale around 8:30AM …
