>Nightlife
>
I'm thinking about starting my nightlife project again. I suppose I never really stopped, but I'm going to push much harder on it this year. I went out last night for 2 hours. I went to three bars and stayed for a short time. I just wanted to get a feel for it.
>Waldport, Oregon
>
Here's a snap from Waldport, Ore.
>Wayne Eastburn
>
Tonight Wayne and I crossed paths when he was shooting an earlier game of the double-header at South Eugene High School. I shot his photo as he was finishing up. Wayne is 76-years-old and has been working at The Register-Guard since the 1960's. Most of that time has been on the late shift covering prep sports.
>Wrestling Audio Slideshow
>
Click the link above to see an audio slideshow of a wrestling tournament I shot last Saturday. The assignment was to shoot a few Cottage Grove wrestlers for the Prep Week sport page. I could have been done in about an hour. Since it was my only assignment Saturday I decided to stay for the entire 10-hours of the tournement and capture some audio. This is the result. Again, I'm doing things like this for purpose of fine-tuning my audio capture and editing skills. Getting good audio is much harder than it looks and I can use all the practice I can get.
>Smoke on the Water
>
>Greta Paints
>
My 8-year-old daughter, Greta, is developing into a quite an artist. I'm not just saying that because I'm her father. Okay, I am, but she is truly very good. I'm serious.
>One More from Skinner Butte
>
>Eugene, Baby...Lensbaby, That Is!
>
So, I bought a Lensbaby Original used off of Sportsshooter. On occassion, when I remember I actually own one, I whip it out and to see what stuff looks like photographed with one. Why not? Some photographers say it's gimmicky or cliche'. Of course it is! But, what the hell. I have one and I'm going to use it.
By the way, this is downtown Eugene, Oregon, as seen from Skinner Butte. The Butte in the photo is Spencer Butte.
>Downtown Stroll
>
I shot this looking through two panes of glass that are perpendicular to each other at a corner building at Broadway and Olive downtown Eugene.
>Another Bride for a Day
>
Here's another snap from the wedding fashion show.
>Cole and Greta Take a Hike
>
The kids and I hiked from the top of Skinner Butte Park down to River Play Park and back up to the top through the woods. That's where I shot this.
>Terwilliger Hot (cold) Springs
>
I went to Terwilliger Hot Springs this morning. I was thinking there would be a lot more steam given the ambient temperature. But, at least there was a goodly amount of snow still on the ground and a few brave souls willing to expose themselves to the elements.
>Brides for a Day
>
I shot this wedding fashion show yesterday at the Lane County Fairgrounds. It was a pretty situation for making some nice images.
>Art School Tour
>
I was strolling around the UO art school and took a few snaps.
>Eddie Adams Workshop Poster
>
Photographer Howard Schatz made this poster of some the faculty and students at the Eddie Adams Workshop. I'm in there somewhere. I heard he's a famous photographer.
>Dude Walking a Dog
>
That's all it is.
>Real Snow
>
We had up to four inches of snow yesterday.
>Sportfolio Edit
>
This is my final edit for my sports portfolio entry in POYi. While it has little or no chance of actually winning anything, it's the only mulitple photo category I will enter this year and therefore required a more thoughtful approach than the single photo categories. Pay special attention the relationships between photos and how they flow from one to the next. This edit came from several conversations with Bruce Ely and Sol Neelman who've done quite well in the Sports Portfolio category lately. In fact, I predict one or both of them will win again this year. Good luck fellas!
