I've lived in the great northwest all my life and I never get tired of looking at Mount Rainier. I captured this image at Druids Glen Golf and Country Club. It was a perfect event. The sky was clear and at 8:30pm the sun was hitting the mountain, the pond, the grass and the surrounding area with stunning color.

Tesla Red Monster

I have been in love with the Tesla Roaster ever since I first heard about the engineering of it a number of years ago. This is an all electric vehicle that has serious power. I was soo happy to see that they put a showroom in downtown Seattle and I got my first opportunity to shoot it in person. This car is sweet beyond words.

Let the show begin!

My wife and I took an awesome hike to the top of Poo Poo point in Issaquah. It's a 2 mile hike straight up. I can't believe that the Parasailers actually hike to the top with their packs, but the ride down is worth the hard work.

Help Portrait 2009

I am participating this year in a fun event called Help Portrait.

On December 12th, photographers around the world will be grabbing their cameras, finding people in need, and taking their picture.When the prints are ready, the photographs get delivered. This holiday season, we have the chance to give a family something they may have never had before- a portrait together.

We could use your support. We are looking for small donations. Any amount would be appreciated so that we can buy supplies for the event.

Thank you. Mike.
