Window light in the old studio. The FIRST studio actually. I’ve been having fun re-editing some old work that I never published. Its funny to see how my editing has changed over the years. Makes me wonder into the future…

Many years ago, one of the first professional gigs I shot as a new freelancer, was Drag. I love the energy, the good jeer…the cheekyness of it all. I’ve photographed many over the years now, so it was with little surprise that I once more found myself in the middle of that fun again…this time in Saint Helens, during our annual Halloweentown celebration. The Klondike Tavern hosted the evening and Jyo and I worked tag-team to cover the whole thing. Here’s just a peak…
This is Anthony. He is fearless. He is joy. He is a father. He is in recovery. He is a helluva cook. And he’s a good friend. He works his ass off to makes ends meet and yet he gave me a whole shoot to do nothing but what makes us both happy. As always…much thanks for the extra hands from @jyotisackettphotographer

With the irrepressible Emeila and her dear friend Sasha. Did I not tell you…?
Dogs are ALWAYS WELCOME on any shoot.
October gets off to a festive start here in Saint Helens. Some scenes from the goingson this weekend as the Halloween spirit invades “Holloween Town”. Going on all month…
Jyo and I both had some old film roles we wanted to finish up, and with summer drawing to a close, we took one last quick road trip, crawling the coast between Astoria and Willapa Bay for a couple of days. I love old film…the texture and the funkyness. My Minolta has some kind of light leak…my Nikon FA is full of dust and schmutz. I keep telling myself I’ll get them serviced and cleaned up…buuuuuuut….I probably won’t.
