Formula D Seattle 2011

Formula D Seattle is undoubtedly my most favorite event to photograph every year. In previous years, I shot the event for Subiesport Magazine and Driving Sports, however this was the first year I shot the event for NWMotiv.com. Due to scheduling issues with another event I was going to on Saturday, I was only able to shoot Friday’s practice and qualifying sessions, but I was also able to get Kyle “KP” Pope to fly up from Arizona and shoot in […]

University Street Fair and Gasworks Park

Last Sunday the 22nd was the University Street Fair, and my friends and I decided go to out and shoot some street photography. I hadn’t done any dedicated street photography for some time now, so it was a welcome change to most of the other types of things I’ve been shooting lately.

Nikkor 24mm f/1.4G and Nikkor 135mm f/2D Review

Erica at Discovery Park

To help me decide on some possible future lens purchases, I went to BorrowLenses.com to rent the Nikkor 135mm ƒ2 and Nikkor 24mm ƒ1.4.  I couldn’t properly test these lenses of course without a good subject, so I got in touch with Erica once again to help me out.  She happily obliged and this time around, we both wanted to go with something a bit more stylish than our previous shoots.  We ended up going to Seattle’s Discovery Park and […]

The East Coast Family

No, I’m not talking about “Boyz II Men, ABC, and BBD” here 🙂  Last month, a bunch of my relatives from my mom’s side of the family visited us from the east of the Mississippi as they went on a cruise up to Alaska.  They weren’t able to stay in Seattle very long, so I made it a point to take a bunch of photos of them during their short stay.  Most of these photos were taken at my uncle’s […]
