>Dinner With Sports

Added on by Thomas Boyd.

>When we arrived in Tempe, Arizona, last night to cover today's Oregon football game, we went directly to P.F. Changs. Ron Bellamy, our sports editor, held court, along with Rob Moseley, right. Other than the 90 minute wait, it was very satisfying. The woman on the left, is Nicole, Ron's son Jason's girlfriend.

>Garage Sale: Cheap But Not Free

Added on by Thomas Boyd.

>We had a garage sale. No matter how ridiculously low we priced something, someone would low-ball us. That really put me in a mood. I had to split before I ran somebody off. We made some decent coin but there's still a lot of stuff left. If anyone out there in blog land needs boys and girls clothes in size six, let me know. I'll make you a helluva deal. Just don't low-ball me.

>Beer and Smoke

Added on by Thomas Boyd.

>I shot this a few years back in Portland. It ran in U.S. News and World Report. With all the cities going smoke-free, this is something you won't see much anymore. Not that it's a bad thing. Shooting bars is a lot more comfortable for me now. I remember it being so smoky that my cameras would stink the next day from smoke. I would have to wipe them down with alcohol.

>The NPPA Flying Short Course

>Lui Kit Wong from Tacoma chats on the bed in Tony Overman's room Saturday night after program. Lui is one of the greatest newspaper sports photographers ever. He's one more Regional Photographerr of the Year awards than any other photographer in the country. He even won $70,000 for a photo he took of a high school high jumper. I was shooting the same event.

>The Can Man

>The Can Man is can-do dude. I shot this a long time ago in a distant city to the north. Since I'm lacking recent content, I thought I'd throw in a blast from the past.

>Turnley in Crate and Barrel

Added on by Thomas Boyd.

>
As part of this shopping thing Carrie put me through, we went to the new Crate and Barrel in Tualitin. They had a bunch of black and white poster framed and hanging on the wall in their displays. They were for sale, of course, for $259. This one was shot by Peter Turnley. I thought it was pretty cool for a photojournalist to have a photo in Crate and Barrel. The other photos were shot by bonafide art photographers. I figure they were marketed through Black Star since that's who the Turnley's were with for a time.

>Entertaining Myself in the Women's Dressing Room

Added on by Thomas Boyd.

Carrie is a professional level shoppper. On occassion, I'm forced to tag along from store to store and watch her go from rack to rack and sometimes she tries things on. This photo shows me in the dressing room trying to think of something to say that will dissuade her from actually making a purchase, but, at the same time, not pissing her off. It's a delicate process wrought with peril. One wrong word, and I'm in the doghouse. She asks if I like pink or green better. I say pink. She bought green. I give up.

>Beer and Secrets

Added on by Thomas Boyd.

>I shot this at a wedding in Portland toward the end of the reception. I thought it was kind of funny because it makes you wonder if the guy on the right was saying something about the woman in the middle which caused his girldfriend to hush him up. I have no idea.

Carrie and took Cole and Greta to the Oregon women's soccer game that I was shooting today. I was able to take them down on the field so they could shoot photos with their own digital cameras. While I had Cole with me I shot a photo of Carrie and Greta with a 600 mm lens sharing a treat.
