Oregon Track

I have been neglecting my blog lately. This is me playing catch-up. Here are a few of my favorites I shot a recent Oregon track meet.

Local Farms, Local Food in Oregon

I'm working on a video project for King Estate Winery about the origins of the produce and meat that supplies KE's restaurant. It will touch on the importance of community, local farming, and land-use issues. While tromping through muddy fields with the rest of the crew, I was able to shoot a couple stills.

Fern's Edge Goat Dairy for King Estate Winery

Fern's Edge Goat Dairy is a small farm located in in Dexter, Oregon, that produces amazing goat cheese. I wish I had been able to shoot outside more, but it was a typical Oregon winter day... pouring rain. Hopefully I'll be able to go back soon.

Men's Basketball UO vs. Cal

I used two cameras to shoot this game, my D300 with a 50mm 1.8 for the action, and a 7D 17-35mm 2.8 for the low shots. I like the way the wide angle shots turned out. Bummer Oregon lost the game 81-71.

Dr. Vandana Shiva

I had the pleasure of photographing environmentalist, physicist, and philosopher Dr. Vandana Shiva. Shiva fights to protect the diversity of seed for farmers in India and throughout the world. She has taken on agricultural biotechnology corporation Monsanto for it’s patent of seed.

University of Oregon Junior Point Guard Malcom Armstead at Matthew Knight Arena

He told he doesn't smile for pictures. I got one smile out of him.

Shooting Food

I've had several assignments recently to photograph food. Here are a few of my favorites.

Pulled pork sandwich at Nosh Pit (food cart in Eugene) I also made a multimedia about Nosh Pit for the Oregon Daily Emerald, so take a look here.
