Homelessness in Seattle
A few months back I contacted someone at the Seattle Union Gospel Mission. I wanted to tour their facility and provide them with pictures to use in publications, but more than that, I wanted to learn about homelessness. Walk the streets of Seattle, night or day, and you will find homelessness. It’s a problem, here [...]

1.5 Days of Leadership
Wow, am I exhausted! Friday afternoon and all day Saturday I was on a leadership retreat for the Albers Undergraduate Leadership course I am taking over Winter and Spring Quarter. Most of Friday was spent addressing a book and assessment called Strengths Finder 2.0. I took the assessment and my top 5 strengths were analytical, [...]
Our Paths
For the most part, we all have our paths in life. Some are shorter than others, some have more twists and turns than others, and some have portions of their paths that have not been surfaced, yet. While we sometimes get to choose our paths, other times we merely have to start walking where the [...]
Restaurant Addition
I wanted to follow up in regard to my latest restaurant post about Cafe Amore. I called and spoke to the manager, Sean, who was very apologetic. Sure, I can’t get that night back and how the server put a damper on our evening, but I find it very refreshing and just how he took [...]
Restaurant Displeasure
Listen closely restaurants, and please, please stop your usual discriminatory practices. While I realize not all restaurants fall into this category, I have encountered this in far too many establishments, so those that are doing a great job already, kudos to you – keep up the good work!
When teenagers walk in, please do not dismiss [...]
This Whole College Thing
I am never quite sure what to use this blog for – images or words? Why not both, right? It seems I usually want to post more thoughts than pictures, but tonight I figured I would combine it a bit.
I just finished my first quarter of college and I have already started my next quarter. [...]

Self-Portraits
Since I am always the one doing the shooting, there are very few pictures of me. I decided it was time to change that. Don’t mention the sock – I love my socks. Enjoy the photos.

The City
I love living in Seattle and all that it has to offer, but I never see it in a very pretty light. Below, my photos will reflect that. Enjoy!
In Honor of Halloween
I took some pictures awhile back…looking for a style like the movie The Ring. Halloween was a few days ago, so it seems appropriate to post these. Enjoy!

San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua
I was fortunate enough to go to San Juan del Sur and teach photography workshops. While there, I taught photography to people of the community. Overall, it was an amazing experience living in the Nicaraguan culture. I am going to give you a feel of every day by writing about each day.
Day 1 – August [...]
The Power of a Story
A story told only by words is inadequate in accurately expressing what is happening. Words are limited – 26 letters to create a word that has certain connotations relating to the individual. But, with the help of photos, a story can not only be read, but viewed. Combining words and photos to tell a story [...]
Market
Enjoy the pictures – they are long overdue. I have not picked up my camera in about a month, so I took it along today on the way to the market. The market was great and I ended up spending way more than I wanted on fruit, but it looked so yummy.

Classes Start
Today is my first day of college. I am embarking on a new journey in my life and writing a new chapter in my life. Who knows what this chapter will hold? My hope is that the pages are filled with opportunities, adventures and happiness. Surely there will be stress, anxiety and some crazy times, [...]

Welcome
Welcome! It is my sincere hope you are taken on a journey through my world and that you enjoy it. But, keep in mind it is my world and my photographs. The images will always reveal the truth, but not necessarily reality. Each photograph is an artistic expression of how I viewed that particular scene [...]
