A couple of weeks ago, I had a chance to photograph NBA legend Lenny Wilkens, needless to say I was ecstatic at the opportunity. Just a day before the shoot, Lenny was honored with the 1992 Olympic “Dream Team” being inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame for the THIRD TIME! Since there is nobody else on the planet with three Hall of Fame rings, we wanted this to be a prominent part of the shoot. I had several poses that I wanted to try out that would show of the rings as well as Lenny and overall, I was very happy with the results. I can’t thank my friend Patrick enough for helping me out with the lighting and setup as well as bouncing ideas off of. Check out the sample of images below that highlight a few of my favorites.

My Cousin Heather was in town racing at the velodrome at Marymoor Park in Redmond this weekend. I was able to go over there for a little while and get some shots. I was playing around with some long exposures and ended up getting some pretty trippy results. Check out the whole set.

My brother and sister-in-law visited yesterday and we were able to go out on a tour of Lake Union on the Lady Washington. It was a great time and a cool experience. Here are a few shots from that as well as around South Lake Union.

I ran over to the Edmonds Ferry terminal on Saturday to catch the sunset.

Walter Jones officially called it quits today after a 13 year career with the Seahawks as arguably one of the best offensive linemen to play the game.

Yesterday,  I went to my first Opening Day for the Mariners. It was a pretty cool ceremony before the game with alot of old Mariners on hand. The game itself left alot to be desired. I have several more photos here.

This was a shot that my dad took of my dog Eva when we went to the dog park a couple years back. I love this shot!

Here’s a fun piece that I put together with shots of all the helmets of teams that I have shot over the past few years. It sure looks like a lot when you get them all together like this. You will see the black and white version below. It’s funny how they all blend together when you take out all of the colors that make them distinctive and iconic. You can see the color version and see the difference for yourself. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to photograph all these teams over the past few years for Lindy’s Sports Annuals and hope to do it for several more years.

I was able to take a great trip to Colorado during the Christmas break. And of course, I was able to take a few shots along the way. Here is a link to some of my favorites.

I was lucky enough to attend the First Flight of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner this morning. It was quite a sight to see it take off. There was a great feeling of pride for all the Boeing employees in attendance. More photos here
