A wonderful photo series about the retirement of NASA’s space shuttle missions, which was shot right here in Portland, Ore. But as you all know, we won’t stop exploring space anytime soon.

Maine 2011 Fishing Birds

Another year and another trip to Northern Maine. Back in May, before settling back into Portland, I made my yearly trip back to the east coast to do some fly fishing with my dad and friends. The weather wasn’t full of beautiful sunny days but we sure made the best of it, looking for fun and good times through the showers. We caught fish, drank beer, ate some finger licking good food, sang songs, and shared our stories. I would call it another successful trip.

View more pictures of the trip.

Can’t wait till next year…

Here are some beautiful images from Finnish photographer, Perttu Saksa. If you have some free time, I suggest clicking over to her work and checking out the goods. Just makes me want to visit the Scandinavian lands even more. Enjoy!

The artwork was crafted character by character over a 12 month period by the very skilled Cameron Moll. This poster set is a true example of quality over quantity from amount of time put forth to the selection of printing. Posters are letterpressed by Bruce Knudson of Bjørn Press. If you have a few mintues, go check out more details at the Colosseo site.

Outside my work hours, I have been putting a decent amount of time on my music project, Ouzel. This week, I have uploaded some new tracks online and mostly likely these will be included on the first ep to be released in the near future.

The above pic is from cover art for the individual song White Alice which is going to evolve into a concept album in months ahead. So look for more details on that project.

“Opening up yet another fragment of the frontier of beauty.”
