I shot this as part of the America 24/7 book project. It didn't make the cut.

>Photojournalism as Art
>
David Hume Kennerly has 679 of his photos on display at the Hotel Lucia in Portland, Ore. In a hotel where every room has original art, the only "art" they mention by name in their brochure is Kennerly's.
Here's what it says: 679 Photographs of the twentieth century's most famous and infamous are on permanent display at the Hotel Lucia. All the work of Pulitzer Prixe winning photojournalist David Hume Kennerly.
I love that Kennerly was able to convice someone that his photojournalism could be worthy of display in this beautiful hotel. I love that not only did they use 12 of his photographs as the centerpiece art in their lobby, they display his work in most, if not all, of the rooms.
I am in complete awe of Kennerly's ability to convince important people of the value of his photojournalism. I think that skill alone is at least as valuable as his ability to shoot pictures.

While Carrie shops, I stand outside on the street and shoot pictures.

Happy 41st.
Carrie and I had lunch at Papa Hayden's to start her "birthday weekend'.
>Eugene's Best Hot Dog Stand
>
Loyal customer Justin Corley, left, stops by to chat with Bruno Bersani at his hotdog stand. Bersani is a former member of the Eugene music scene who played alongside the Cherry Poppin' Daddies and other bands from the 1980s and 1990s. Now he's the guy who sells hotdogs to innebriated Eugene scenesters every Thursday and Friday night at Broadway and Olive
>The Vaulters

Here's another shot from the Oregon Track and Field preview I shot for The Register-Guard.

>Pasta and Vino...more Vino than Pasta
>
Robin had a spaghetti feed at her house last night. A good time was had by all.
>Follow the Light
>
Here's a another "sportrait" from University of Oregon Track and Field.
His name is Rock Light. Get it? Light is his name and there's light shining on him. I knew you would.
It only took me three days of waiting for the sun to pop out at the precise moment for this photo.
Actually, it was a mistake and I could never replicate it again. Better to be lucky than good sometimes.
>Lance Deal and his Crew
>
This is a portrait I shot of the famous hammer thrower Lance Deal, who now coaches the University of Oregon throwers.
>Car Safety

I shot this last year with my Canon G3 point and shoot. I thought it was kind of funny so I moved it to my photo agency, Zumapress. They have a partnership with Workbook Stock. That agency asked me to provide a model release.
This photo could show up anywhere. I hope it does. That means money.
>Lent in Barillas, Guatemala
>
I took this photo on assignment with the Cascade Medical Group during Lent. It was a beautiful thing to witness. I publish it here in honor of the Pope.
It's all I have to offer.

Here's a pic from Easter at Pat and Judd's.
The kids had a blast.
>State Champs
>
This is a little old. It's from the Oregon 4A State Championship game in Eugene. I had a great time shooting it and hope I can do it next year.
>Snowball Throwin' Maniac
>
In Cole's mind, snow is good for one thing only...to pack tightly into a ball and throw at the nearest family member.
He was accurate and relentless.
>The Great Hall
>
This is shot from the balcony in the Great Hall in Sunriver, Ore. This building is only about 5-years old and features many Ponderosa pine logs and spiral staircases.
>The Harp on Easter

Greta plays the harp on Easter Sunday in the Great Hall at Sunriver.

This is my boy. He's a serious kid sometimes. Other times not so much.
