New Podcast Episode, The Oregon Coast and More...

Wow, that long since my last blog post, almost two months! I did take quite a break off from the podcast, social networking, processing images and more. Even when you love something as much as I love photography a break can be good, whether planned or not. However, it does feel great to be back. Some updates in general...

The workshops for 2010 have been filling up, most of the spots were full in 2009 and I want to thank all of the folks that have signed up already. I look forward to meeting everyone and having some great workshops. We do still have some openings so contact us if you are interested.

- Professional Photographers of Oregon 2010, Court of Honor
- Photooftheyear.net, 2010 Top 10 finalists for Professional Category

Here is an image from a seascape outing over this winter along the Oregon Coast. Proving there is shooting options even during the overcast mid-day light. There has not been much worth while shooting in the local mountains with drier and warmer weather than normal the snow pack is definitely suffering on Mt Hood and other areas in the Northwest.














Also, I know there has been quite a gap since the last the podcast and the drought is over now. Here is the latest episode. I talk about the never ending quest of balancing family life and being a nature photographer. Let me know if these ideas are helpful and would be glad to hear what else you know of that works or doesn't.
