KPTV FOX 12 with Wayne Garcia

Wayne Garcia (@WayneGarciaKPTV) is one of the awesome news anchors on KPDX TV FOX 12. Such a professional, easy manner in front of the camera, this guy. Just a natural; but I guess this should be expected from someone who’s been in the broadcasting business since high school.

When you’re ready to get your own professional headshot, professional on-air headshot, let me know!

Grain Elevator

One of the more recent grain elevators out in Eastern Oregon. When I say recent, I mean less than one hundred or so years old. The really old ones were made out of wood, and were absolute behemoths. These metal-sided containers are still pretty massive, but not nearly as cool. Hey, I’ll take a photo of it for the archives though.

The more the merrier; if you ever come across a wooden grain elevator, let me know!

Rural Disobedience

Sometimes the most mundane things find a way to say so much with so little.

Although we could have easily drove right by this spot, I really had to pee and hey – we were kinda lost (in a good way, of course). So we stopped and took it all in for a spell. Only after getting out of the car did I really notice this sign.

It’s easy to imagine that I wasn’t the only full bladder who’d visited that very desolate, very lonely intersection. I wonder if this sign caught them off-guard at first, too… boldly reminding everyone that cares to read it that no, there’s no hunting anymore here.

I can almost hear the steel sign thwack and twinge from the gunshots, being given an impromptu “salute to the union” just before the hungry ghosts beat their own hasty retreat; their beer bottles and spent cases left behind to find their own resting places.

Eventually the dust from their retreat settles back down and all that’s left hanging in the air is the close but impersonal wind, already exploring the sign’s jagged new holes.

Have a fun and safe Independence Day, everyone. Don’t hurt each other.

Model: Mia Allen

No, I’m kidding. She’s fine. But the sun was pretty intense and the grass was not very soft that day; so she pulled of a pretty smooth pose, considering!

The Luxor

Shot on disposable film camera format (oh yeah): the impressive Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. So, are they texting aliens with that huge light-beam? What’s that for?

Father & Son

Simple, no-frills portrait work. It’s the best way to capture those years before they grow up.

Model: Malene Jensen

Throwback Thursday? Let’s look back to the 2008 yesteryear with the great Danish model, Malene Jensen. This was a b-roll moment when she almost lost it with the giggles. Yay for candid moments!
