John Loengard is the only photographer to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award in Photography from Life magazine and he just so happens to be my roommate's step-grandfather. He is most famous for a picture of the Beatles in swimming pool but I like his western photos. Here are some links.
Growing up I wanted to be A cowboy. I played with six shooter cap guns, cowboy boots and dressed up in chaps. On the second floor of the Portland Outdoor Store, nestled in the back corner, I found this Pendleton rocking horse and immediately fell in love. The craftsmanship and detail is amazing. I couldn't think of a better gift for a young boy or girl.
I left my job in New York in the summer of 2011 and moved into a camper. Since then, I have driven 100,000 miles around the west, surfing and camping. During the summer of 2014, I set up a home base in the Columbia River Gorge. These are some of my stories and photos.
