ILLUSTRATION

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------






My Folk Lover, Catherine Campbell, is a lovely illustrator with a knack for drawing beautiful women and curious boats. She is just another reason why I desperately need to visit Melbourne, Australia. See more of her work and process at her blog.

There are 100,000 things about photography that I adore - one of which is the ability to share it with others.

I can't stop listening to solo performer - Bachelorette. Her sound is a trippy dip into the world of synth pop, perfect for a grooveless day aching for a pick-me-up. I was so thankful to see her play live at Doug Fir in Portland. She commanded the stage with a focused intensity and hypnotic light show, almost causing me to seizure up with joy. If you enjoy an honest ode to the age of computerized sound with a dash of sex appeal and heaps of vocal talent, or if you just happen to like stuff that comes out of New Zealand, go to her. She is waiting for you.

The most difficult part of a trip is explaining it to others. Thank God for pictures.

"Hey lets hike to this secret cliff I know" is basically how most of my Portland photos came about. While visiting the city I got to meet up with Whitney Johnson, Dave Tuttle, and Parker Fitzgerald - all incredible people who dominate flickr's film following. We congregated at a perfect Portland breakfast spot, namely the Cricket Cafe, and plotted out our day; which included Mt. Hood, film, and margaritas. What should have taken an hour maybe two at the most turned into five epic hours of valley forging, photo taking, creek jumping, grass lounging, and storytelling. It was damn good day.
