>I just accepted a staff photographer position at The Oregonian in Portland, Ore. My last day at The Register-Guard will be Dec. 20. My first day at The Oregonian will be Dec. 27.

I've been at The Register-Guard in Eugene, Ore., for 10-years and it's been great. The guys I work with are the best. Rob and Paul have been the best bosses anyone could ever ask for. The Baker family that owns the paper respects photojournalism and I'll always be thankful for all of that.

The staff I'm going to is as talented as any in the country and I look forward to being part of it.

Luckily, I'll be back to Eugene for plenty of assignments and I'll be able to see everyone.

I'll post here as things progress.
