01-01-2014 ThatKidCry

On New Years day I met up with my favorite local hip hop artist, Aaron "ThatKidCry" Nash. I remember when I first met Aaron, I think it was his first show he had ever performed at. I was photographing the event and his mother or aunt came up to me and told me to take his photo because he was really good. I ended up snapping this shot. Since that day, I've photographed him at multiple shows, The Peace Love and Hip Hop show at Duffy's and at his CD Release Show with Sapient and LuckOne down at Sub-Zero in Corvallis. Here are a few of the portraits I took of him in downtown Salem.

11-02-2013 Silver Falls Half & Full Marathon

Wow, what a great event this year! It was a little rainy but not that bad and Run Wild Adventures and the park service set up a huge tent for everyone! We had a total of four photographers this year to capture the 1000+ runners and we got some great shots. One of our the photographers was even visited by a forked horn deer! Next year will have a lot more options for runners, including a 50k! Check out the official website at www.silverfallsmarathon.com for more details, be sure to sign up when it opens as it sells out quick! To check out all the photos of that day click HERE!

10-12-2013 Run Wild Adventures - Detroit Lake Mud Run

The Start of the 2013 Run Wild Adventure Running events is one of my favorite races, Detroit Lake. I love rolling up in the morning and seeing the mist rise off mountains in the distance and seeing the drained lake and exposed stumps. This year was another great year photography as I moved up the trail photographer up to catch some more of the mud action. Unfortunately shortly into the run I started hearing reports of runners getting stung by bee's out on the island, and when Gary was doing the awards he asked those who have been stung to raise their hands and to me it appeared about half the runners were attacked. Due to this misfortune I decided to nick name this years mud run, the Stung run.
