Sometimes a place will shout "Please Photograph ME!"

That is if places or things could talk. It's a mood or feeling that just pops up. Look for more "Showcase Images" as things jump out at me.

Enjoy the images and if you would like to see more CLICK HERE for a gallery of 31 more images.

FujiFilm Event @ MIT

As a member of FujiFilm's talent team I had the opportunity to host an event at the studio for photographers from the Portland Metro area to test out Fuji's NEW S5 camera. The S5 has many up-grades and will make a great addition to our studio. I won't go into all the details but this camera has some serious features that other manufactures can't touch.

Larry Battistello, our Fuji Rep and Bruce Arnold, Fuji's Senior Tech Adviser, were on hand to provide knowledge and all the info we needed about the newest Fuji Pro DSLR. Doug Potts from Pro Photo Supply was also here, if your in the market for a new camera visit Pro Photo Supply in NW Portland.

Below are a few images taken at the Event. ENJOY!!!






Thank you Larry, Bruce and Doug Potts from Pro Photo Supply for your support of Professional Photography.

Spring? Well it's almost here, should we enjoy the RAIN? YES, that's exactly what the plan became this past Saturday. Kimberly and I went to the Tulip Fest at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm in Woodburn.

We tried to wait out the rain at the Woodburn Outlet stores but it became evident it wasn't going to let up so off we went. Next year hopefully the weather will cooperate better but we had a great time and almost had the place to ourselves. ENJOY!!!!

Bryan's Birthday

I celebrated my birthday yesterday with my girlfriend Kimberly. The weather was perfect, and Kimberly's only request was that we have FUN. First off we went to lunch at one of my favorite spots Helvetia Tavern. They have, in my opinion, the best fries and hamburgers you will find anywhere.



Next we were off to Cannon Beach / Seaside for relaxation and dinner. The drive was great, being spring break we expected more traffic but we cruised right along. As always my first stop at Cannon Beach is Bella-Espresso. Bella-Espresso also has a location at Streets of Tansbourn by REI. We talked to Bella owner, James Fauentino, and he shared the news that another Bella will be opening in Portland by the Portland Aerial Tram.



We celebrated with cheesecake from, The Cheese Cake Factory, on the beach and then took a relaxing stroll. We then decided to head up to Seaside for dinner. We ended up going to Dooger's, seafood and grill. Dinner was wonderful and the drive home was a breeze.




Thank you Kimberly for making my birthday so enjoyable. Even though we just got away for 1 day it felt like a mini vacation.

McCall + Thompson Wedding
