Camping in Estacada

We had a great time camping with some friends from our church last weekend. Lockaby Campground outside of Estacada was perfect. Our campsite was right on the river and more than enough room for all 12 of us. Among the troopers was our little friend Iris who, despite a tumble, had a great time.

Weekend of Cancer (Part II)

On Saturday my wife and I ventured out to Molalla for this year's Relay for Life. There were 43 teams determined to walk the track for 24 hours straight to raise money for the American Cancer Society. The goal of this year was $71,000 and they had raised 38 of that before anyone had set foot on the field. My wife was honored to have a team from Colton Elementary School walking in her honor. Her treatment ended 1 month ago...Yeah! What an awesome weekend.

Weekend of Cancer

I had the joy of photographing two cancer benefit events this weekend. The Lymphoma and Leukemia Society's Man and Woman of the Year Gala took place on Friday night. This event raises money for the ongoing research and treatment of blood borne cancers. It was a powerful night with stories of treatment, survival and the hope that this foundation brings to so many lives. Andy Carson of Fox 12 Oregon ran the live auction and the foundation raised a substantial amount of money. It was nice to see my good friend Eric Tweed at the event. I have had a great time in the past photographing his band Sweet City Slang. More on the other Cancer event tomorrow...

My New Blog!

I have been in need of a place to put all of the photos I take that don't fit in with my official photography site. This is also a nice place to give people sneak previews of their projects.
