I thought I would start things off with a photo of myself doing the Ricky Bobby, aka, I don’t know what to do with my hands…. We spent some time exploring Bellevue downtown park. I have never been to NYC, but based on images alone, Bellevue park felt a lot like Central park to me. … Read More

A New Direction
I finally have my cell phone back. My cell phone is my mobile hotspot so that I have the necessary internet connection to bring you these blog posts. I did a lot of reflecting in my absence. The best version of myself for this website is the guy who shares stories and photos from events, … Read More
No Phone: Day 1
I woke up this morning and my phone was toast. I drove to the T-Mobile store and waited 10 min for them to open. They helped me call and file an insurance claim. Then I had to take my laptop to the library and finalize the process over email. If all goes smoothly, I should … Read More
Roger’s 2018 Halloween Party
I survived the party y’all. In truth, the beverage of choice on tap was Bug Light, so I did not even finish a glass. If I am drinking a light beer, I prefer Coors Light. They did have an abundance of Jello shots in the fridge, so I might have helped myself to 8 or … Read More
Halloween Party
Holy Crap tonight is about to be off the hook y’all! I haven’t been to Roger’s Halloween party since 2012…. I went thru the archives and dug out a couple of the photos that caught my eye. I charged up the batteries for my Canon, I have the new flash ready to go, and I … Read More

The skills learned in soccer definitely help you become good at hacky sack. Why am I talking about this? Today I have been cleaning my house like mad. I was … Read More
Just Another Day at the Office
This is the life. I am sitting on a bench in Kirkland, overlooking the waterfront. I took off my shoes and walked barefoot across the luscious grass to get down here. The sound of the waves crashing upon the rocks, plus the dude getting it in his power boat, is so calming and relaxing. I … Read More
Hiking Summit Lake
Yesterday I needed a reset. I needed to get away from all the noise, the chaos and just be. Going camping solo is very therapeutic, albeit lonely, for me. I loaded up my Tacoma with a small tent, my camping pad, sleeping bag, pillow, water bottle, a couple Clif bars, firewood, my laptop and that … Read More
Its been a minute
I was talking to my good friend, fellow entrepreneur and the developer of this website: Marvin. He was mentioning a self-imposed challenge to create work daily for 100 days and see where that takes his business. I have long wondered if photography just becomes a piece of my puzzle rather than my main source of … Read More
The Puyallup Fair
or Washington State Fair for all you kids. I have lived most of my life in the state of Washington. I grew up out in the country, about a 30 minute drive from the fairgrounds. Going to the Puyallup fair was a staple in my life every September. I remember growing up and … Read More
