Willamette River Supermess

Halle — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 16:36:00 +0000

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.

Hibiscus Hand Tattoo

Recently a client asked me to scout for a woman’s tattooed hand for a possible shoot. Not a fancy Beverly Hills French nails and all kind of hand. I found this hand today at lunch. The potential hand model was super sweet and is keen to moonlight as a hand model.
