Winter calm on the Korana River.
A small blue boat waiting by the bank, wrapped in honest, neutral light.
Sometimes a river says more when it stays quiet.

That specific winter light where the sun just barely kisses the horizon. ✨ Tired of the Ice and snow, longing for these long walks through the valley. Is it spring yet? #Photography #Countryside #WinterLight

Dreamy winter landscape photographed against the sun. The image shows a little road in the forest surrounded by little snowy trees. In the background are some bigger trees with the sun shining through them

A goal with no crowd.
No lines, no referee.

Some places don’t wait for players.
They wait for memory.

Introducing…Light, Unbroken

This was so fun to paint, I love the contrast between the warm and cool light. Here’s to a bright start to the week!

A Bohemian waxwing touches down on a bare twig, wings still half open as it balances for a split second.

High-key image of a Bohemian waxwing just landing on a thin leafless branch, wings partly open while balancing against a nearly white background.

Snowdrops have long been linked with Candlemas — the turning of the year, when light returns quietly. Held here in a calabash bowl, nestled in moss and lichen, they glow like small candles: patient, steady. Enough.
Light, quietly renewed.

Formal Monster. More in the alt-text. #patchoflight #winterlight #artmodel #mask #heels #fantastic #pdxphotographer #oregongirl #oregon #monster #whimsical #nudeart

I've made no secret about my absolute admiration for my models. If we're simpatico to make weird art then we likely get along socially, as well, and we probably enjoy a lot of the same general ideas and values. I can't see how it would work otherwise.

To some extent I thin of the tribe of traveling art models as the subversive punk rockers of this time. Winning hearts and minds one stop at a time, adrift on a cultural sea that generally rejects the idea of female autonomy and fortitude. They are smart, funny and inventive women and I have a huge amount of admiration for them.

On a winter day they will sweep in as a formless mass of scarves and sweaters and coats. The divestment is usually a natural process of warmth, conversation and comfort. I miss my little studio above the warehouse -- ringed with theatrical lights it was immediately cozy and we could play with weird ideas all night. My post-pandemic reliance on rentals and Oregon's short outdoor shooting season has its own rewards, though. I love finding a new place and sizing it up. It's not so different from walking into a venue and thinking "well, this isn't what I expected" and having a short amount of time to turn it into whatever we DID expect. A certain patch of light, a corner, a doorway....you just find the thing that's going to work and go for it. I'm terrible with shoes despite a healthy appreciation for women wearing fun ones so it was nice to actually work in the heels that Joey had in her bag. I usually forget. We had shot with this mask the first time we met and I think it brings out the elegance of her neck -- the mask simply becomes part of her in a way that I really like. I have a few others that gel with other people. Can't wait for an opportunity to go through this in more detail!

@earthyeva.bsky.social and I have been working together for about eight years at this point and the archive is mildly overwhelming. More in the alt-text! #artmodel #pdxphotographer #winterlight #midday #oregon #winter #moments #intimate #portraitart

This past near-decade of shooting with Eva has fostered so much growth on so many levels. When we met I was VERY new and really still trying to figure out which end of the camera pointed where. By the time summer rolled around, though, we launched ourselves out into the Oregon desert and started a pattern of adventures that has carried us along ever since.

The flip side of desert adventures, however, has been a remarkable series of quietly beautiful moments in opportunistic bits of sunshine. Eva spotted the change in light and made a beeline for a lacy window and the pale winter sun.

There is a place in a photograph where the observer can build their own story...and a line between what the model brings to the story and being a blank canvas for others to project onto. At our best, it feels like we meet somewhere in the lens and the story flows both ways.

I often feel very spoiled to work with such great models and settings here in Oregon. I always find myself wanting to show off the state when traveling models come through -- I could audition for the role of "Julie the tour director"! The other real pleasure is getting to spend a day with someone and capture something special about them. In a shoot early in my so-called career, working with a very butch rugby player from the local college, I was thrilled to get a very sweet thank you note back after sharing the images in which she said "I had never really seen myself as a beautiful woman before" and I think about that from time to time when pondering photography as therapy. It works on both sides!

The winter light at Johnstown Castle is something else. Even on a hazy day, the water manages to shimmer. The silhouette of the winter branches frames the lake perfectly. 🌿💧

A vertical shot of a serene lake viewed through the dark silhouette of overhanging tree branches. The sun is high and hazy, creating a bright, silvery backlight that reflects off the rippling water. In the immediate foreground, golden-brown reeds and grasses rise up from the bottom. Across the lake, a line of dense, dark trees forms a horizon against a pale, washed-out sky. The overall mood is quiet, atmospheric, and high-contrast.
