Employment: Oregon Air Force

Service: Nine years    

As many of you know, my wife Rebekah just returned from being out of state in Knoxville, Tennessee for a six week training school at McGhee Tyson ANG base. This is a Non-Commissioned Officers Academy school. During her time there she was nominated and received The John L. Levitow Award, which is the highest honor awarded a graduate of any Air Force enlisted professional military education course. Unlike her past weapons training and field exercises, this training was all classroom, test-taking and leadership development.  

Rebekah is an amazing hard-working student. Although the time a part was difficult and slow going I am happy she went. I couldn't be more proud of her and all her accomplishments.

Where to begin? So much has happened this year and it's still not over. Well, my wedding season has wrapped up but my personal portrait work is far from over. 2009 was hard work and amazing. I traveled twice internationally for weddings and couldn't have been more thankful. Here is my list of what I learned and will always be learning. 

 

Patience 

Always stay humble

Be yourself and never copy anyone

Seek growth in your art and perspective

Inspiration comes from so many outside elements 

Be content and keep it simple

 

This year I really felt like I started settling into my skin. I feel like I have better direction for what I am doing and going after. This changes from time to time as it should. My gifts lie on the creating side and less on the business side so I'm eager to better develop these skills in 2010.

 

Not being boxed in and categorized as a specific type of photographer is one direction you can take as an artist. Or you can stick to one genre as photographer. Both are just fine, it just depends on the person and their style. This year I am field testing this and branching out into more commercial and advertising work. My passion will always stay within portrait photography that conveys emotion and a story but I love the challenge and different ideas that commercial work presents. 

 

Over the next year I will be working on a larger personal portrait project that I am very excited about and will have more details as the next year unfolds.

Age: Nine
Breed: Siberian Husky

This is our first dog Dakoda. We got him from my sisters friend in California who looking for a better home for him. Huskies are very active and smart dogs and yes they love to pull and run very fast. He loves his new home in Oregon. Huskies adjust very well to new environments. He has been a blast having in our home and getting his hair all over the couch. I have to say this is my first post about an animal. 

He is beautiful, has vampire eyes, very friendly, calm inside, good with kids and a pleasure to have in our life. I can't wait to take him out in the snow to pull us on a sled.

Dakota belonged to my neice before she re-homed him to you. As you`re finding out he is a beautiful creature and deserves the best possible life that you can give him and I have no doubt you`ll do that :) I was raised with Huskies and I have fond memories of them pulling me on sleds and I worked them in the spring on a sled like thing with wheels. My show Dog Tia looked alot like Dakota only one of her eyes was half brown. He`s a beautiful creature. Enjoy
