At the beginning of the month we had a charitable photography event that consisted of taking a persons portrait or profile shot that could be used anywhere online as their profile pick. Our goal was to raise money for the local community and bring people together. We had a decent turnout considering the weather and late promotion for the event. All photos from the event are being hosted on this Facebook fan page link or click the button on the left side of this blog page. Please download your photo and use as your profile photo. Don't forget to " LIKE " us on Facebook. There is possibility of hosting another portrait event to coincide with this one plus a gallery show sometime this summer. Details will be announced on my Twitter, Facebook and this blog. Thank you everyone who made it out and contributed to the cause and to Ian McNeil who also photographed the event.

TONIGHT APRIL 26th

6-9 pm :: IMAGO ART SPACE, 512 NW 9th

 

The Exile Poster Project aims to confront a specific area of injustice and oppression in Portland through the powerful medium of the poster. The annual show, based in Imago Dei's 9th street gallery, will feature passionate and personal work from Professional artists from throughout the city. This body of work will be presented in a way that will incite action within the city's art and faith communities, hopefully galvanizing those communities to assist the city in its ongoing efforts to uphold the law. The 2011 show will focus on the commercial sexual exploitation of children.

All posters from the event are available for purchase here http://www.exileposterproject.com/

This is a charitable photographic event that brings all people in the community together to have their portrait taken for $1. Each person will receive a digital file of their photo to use anywhere online they decide. The idea is to simply show that $1 alone doesn't have much impact but if we combine everyone's $1 together then something beautiful can happen in someone's life.

 

All dollars raised from the event go to the Imago Dei Community's Change For A Dollar Program, which seeks to help families and individuals who need help by providing money to them to help with their basic needs. In addition to the event, there will be a gallery show this summer in downtown Portland showcasing all the portraits/profiles taken from the event. Each black and white photograph will be numbered and displayed together as a profile of our city.

 

The event date is set for Sat MAY 7th 

1pm-8pm at Imago Dei Community gymnasium

1302 SE Ankeny St. Portland, 97214

 

Please stop by and support this event by letting me take your black and white portrait and put your dollar donation in the bucket. Everyone is welcome but please know that photos will only be taken of those two years old and above so tell everyone you know to come. I look forward to seeing everyone there.


Thank you Jared.

This year I was asked by Travis Rockwell to join him and his skiing crew on their backcountry trip to Anthony Lakes in Oregon. About five hours east of Portland, OR Anthony Lakes sits in the Umatilla National Forest surrounded by lakes and high peaks. I met up seven guys total who love to snow camp and ride in deep powder. For three days we hiked around looking for fresh lines and nice photo ops. This place is amazing and is the perfect get away for winter or summer camping. I love living in Oregon. I have to say these hikes beat me to the ground with exhaustion but it was so worth it. My dog Zephyr also came along. He had a stellar time playing with the other dogs in camp and running around the frozen lakes like a wild wolf.

 

For my photo set-ups I used all natural light with a 16-35mm and a 70-200mm hand held. I packed light, as my focus was to mostly ride and get photos on the side, which is hard.

Vans Custom Culture is a yearly art competition that started last year to promote creative expression among youth culture while supporting art in high schools across the US. Programs that support art in schools and creative culture in the community is very important to me. I love what Vans has done for the west coast and what they continue to do across the globe. They inspire me to think past what I simply am and to open up that box of possibilities and growth. Check out their site for more info. vans.com/customculture
