a new post

Ok, so it has been quite awhile since i have written or posted any photos here but since I have a moment, as i am sitting in the way cool PDX airport that has the nicest wi-fi everywhere for free, and am feeling rather good having just gotten hired for job that lasts till Oct. i thought id share a cool feature that i use while traveling. I have a very short, short term memory, way short, some times only seconds so I use my phone to take pictures of things i need remeber, like where i parked in the parking structure, or what my bag looks like that I checked in. And the 3rd photo is of where I have been work the last couple of weeks, but that is another post.

Nilsi

its missing allot but still interesting

yamamoto

the amazing photos of Yamamoto are back in Portland at thePDX gallery, small silver prints hung on white walls.

some cats from japan

Went to see this show last night Some cats from Japan .
Very inspiring and the first performance was a young man who did throat signing and had a mic hooked up to his chest so he could use his heart beat in the sounds he created, at one point he stopped his heart for what seemed way -to- long. He was a musical yogi or ninja, christ. Tall lanky, long black hair

weekend on lopez

Bjorn, Kirsten and I flew up from Portland OR. to Lopez this friday, in thier plane "SUPER BOY" they dropped me off and went on to see Kirsten's extended family in Bellingham while I got spend the weekend with my boys. This is Eski casting off on a journey, we found this nice raft down at flat point.

The flight back last night was amazing as it was total IMC the whole way and since Bjorn has this nifty cool GPS unit the navigatio0n becomes awhole lot easier and abit more like a video game. hmmmm? Except that we actually were up there at 7000 ft in the cold air going 120 knts.

I live in Portland now

Laundry day

So i was walking to do my laundry and found out some one had lost there heart in the hood. Hope they find it. It wasnt in the washing machine or the dryer.

the giggly pink octopus

just some thing fun from the dash of the car. I am in portland today and part of tomorrow. Powells book store is of course a good place to get second hand books. the trees are an amazing green this time of year and all the youth wondering the streets have tattoos.

And this was my old post about it.

Kaj and Lucas

I took kaj and Lucas to the Seatac airport this morning at 4:30 AM for their flight to Mexico and the 3 week trip they are on with the Spring Street International School in Friday Harbor. Kaj is looking forward to seeing the Peten jungle again as he doesn't remeber much from the last time he was there, when he was 4? years old. And to hanging with some hot chicks as he puts it. Sounds like a great trip. The second photo is of the two of them on the way to the ticket counter this morning. The first from the ferry boat line yesterday afternoon as Kaj checks to make sure he has his passport.

The moon was laughing in the cold puddle

The other night during the very full moon, I saw this stark white face having a good time reflecting it self in all the puddles I passed.

winter solstice

We got up early and drove to the ferry dock where we had to wait for the 7:40 AM boat as the one an hour earlier was four cars too full, then up the mountain we drove and had such a fun day of snowboarding,skiing. Mount baker is our place to catch the hidden wave of gravity. We are tired by the end of the day. Eski got to ride his brand new and longer snowboard he got for his BDay.

winter weather displays

here are 3 photos taken from the same spot on the driveway not to far away in time from eachother and the present.

Almost winter?

7AM, after taking the boys to the ferry boat so they could go to school I went out to the mail box to put in the return envelope of a netflix DVD we had. The frost and this horse inspired me to go back and get my low quality digital camera. I have been working on Lopez these past few weeks shooting on video a documentary about the local school and how they are starting to garden at the school and then using the produce in the school lunch program thus teaching the kids how to plant, grow, cook and eat healthy, organic whole foods.
