Sandy Jones is an awesome dude and a great tattoo artist. He recently opened up Virtue Tattoo over on East Burnside. I recently snapped some photos of him tattooing my brother. Go check out the shop. He'll give you a discount if you ride up on a fixie.

Andy and i went on a ride through NW portland's industrial area. Here are some shot of him doing a mid ride tune-up.

my girlfriend and my cat have a love/hate relationship with each other.

My two-year-old nice, kate, got a ditital camera and a little puppy for christmas. I caught a snap of her trying to photograph the puppy. I think she'll be a great photographer one day.

My christmas present to myself this year was an old, fully manual Canon TX 35mm and a fixed 50mm f1.4 lens to go with it. I love it. This is camera number 10 in my collection. I just got the first roll back last night. Here are two of my favorites from the roll. I'll be adding a 35mm section to this site soon.

I also updated the Hasselblad section with some new photos.

I spent last night going through old photos on and found these from the Rain City Fix shoot in Seattle back in 2008. I have an entire archive of photos that have never been seen or aren't online. Over the next few weeks i'm going to go through my entire photo archive and post up a bunch of old/new images.

Grace Ladoya directed the film London To Paris. She came to portland for the premier of her film. We had an chance to ride around and shoot some photos in some freezing cold Portland weather. London to Paris is great. If it's showing in your city i highly suggest you go check it out. Grace rode around on her 14 Bike Co. frame. The more i see of these frames the more i like them.

Last night I finished building up my new Dodici frame at City Bikes. I have a few more things to tweak before it's perfectly dialed in but I couldn't be happier with the new set up.
