Whereby M. G. Halle Lays it All Out…Silky Style
In the past 2 years Oregon Business Magazine has used 3 of my photographs on their covers. My last post was about the January 2010 cover and included here are 2 from the recent past. It’s always a thrill to be on the cover especially when it’s unsuspected as was the case with the portrait of Craig and Seth the founders of Toonlet. The NE Portland building that served as the background was recently demolished. It had some cool street art that I miss:
This is picture that I shot for the January issue of Oregon Business Magazine on Portland’s Willamette River and the river’s Superfund status. It’s a dirty ‘ol river and I was happy to have been handed the assignment. Art Director Martin Gee said that my being ‘outdoorsy’ had something to do with his decision. I’ve had women end the relationship for the same reason! Pictured here is North Portland’s Schnitzer Steel Yard. This was a fun story to work on that took me to a lot of local places I’d never been. It’s funny how you can learn so much about a place you live when you just take the time to look around slowly and patiently. Fortunately this assignment afforded me the time to be patient.
I love cover assignments. This was shot for an Oregon Business Magazine cover last fall. It was a scorching hot day and I was glad that I didn’t have to wear waders. Jon the art director was even happy to slosh around in jeans. I hope Maine is treating you well Jon!
Yesterday we shot a cover for Oregon Business Magazine:
It was a scorcher and a perfect day to wet wade in a river for a few hours! Pictured, left to right, are Mike Ishida, Director of Sales at Day Wireless Systems, and Jon Ferland, Art Director at Oregon Business Magazine.
It’s not often we receive mention let alone praise from a really smart, prominent Economist. We photographed economist Bill Conerly for Oregon Business Magazine and art director Jon Ferland recently. Apparently Bill likes the picture we shot albeit a cropped version. He says so in his blog. Thank you for the mention Bill. And thanks to Marty, left, for agreeing to be photographed.
