The new camera just came in at work - a Nikon D40X.
I decided to bring it home over the weekend and get some practice. Posted below are some sickeningly sweet pictures for you to enjoy. The puppy “Plinko” belongs to a friend of ours. The kitten (well more of a cat at this point) lives with us. Her name is “Bebop”. Click for larger versions.
On April 17, 2005 my partner and I set out from the Mexican border for a six-month backpacking expedition to reach Canada by way of the Pacific Crest Trail. The PCT travels over 2650 miles through California, Oregon and Washington. During the course of the adventure, we logged hundreds of journals, took thousands of pictures and even captured a few short movies.
Sometimes the urban landscape can be as inspiring to photograph as the great outdoors. I have found special interest in what I call “Urban Decay”, the feature of the city that are no longer maintained. One of my favorite spots to document is the old Columbia Brick Works, a massive turn-of-the-century factory.

Backpacking, hiking, mountain biking, or snowshoeing - one of the greatest things about living in the Pacific Northwest is the access to some of the most beautiful outdoor areas in the country. And of course, I take my camera along with me whenever I head out the door. Over the past few years, I have captured mountains, sunsets and waterfalls from northern California to southern Canada.
