If you’ve watched or read the news this past week, pretty much anywhere in the country, you will have heard the story of the 3 lost climbers on Mt Hood. Luke Gullberg, Anthony Vietti, and Katie Nolan went missing after a climb on Mt Hood on Friday, December 11. Luke’s body was found Saturday, having...
December 22, 2009 - 1:11 am - Wow-how moving are these words! What a life and what a woman-I am honored to have spent a short time on Earth with Katie.
December 21, 2009 - 10:04 pm - JB, her laugh is something I don't think I mentioned in my post, but it certainly was there in my memory of her. An easy smile, an easy laugh, both of which made you feel welcome. I'm pleased the photographs help you remember laughter; that is, perhaps, one of the finest compliments I've ever received. Thank you.
December 21, 2009 - 9:57 pm - Hello Fritz: I grew up with Katie and one of my fondest memories of her was her laugh. She had such a heart-felt laught that made you feel good when you said something funny enough to get it out of her. It is what I will miss most about her and you captured it on camera. I can hear it much clearer in my mind now. Thank you.
December 21, 2009 - 9:31 pm - Hi Fritz. This is a beautiful post. I didn't know Katie personally, but would have liked to. Katie and I had a lot of friends in common so I definitely feel like a hole has been left in my extended community. I love your sentiments as well and feel the same is true for me - the Lord has blessed me with amazing people and relationships and I will be thankful for however long or short the time I get with them is.
December 21, 2009 - 9:24 pm - Thank you, Shayna. Capturing the essence of someone in a photograph is a challenge that I have always enjoyed, and I'm encouraged to know that it means so much to other people when I do so.
December 21, 2009 - 8:48 pm - Thank you so much for your post and tribute. I have had one of the photos of Katie that you took on my fridge since she sent it to me at Christmas a few years ago. I thought your photos captured a Katie who was healing and whole. I love that photo. Thank you
December 21, 2009 - 3:29 pm - Hi Fritz Thanks for your very nice tribute to Katie. Thanks for being her friend. David Nolan (Katies Dad)
December 21, 2009 - 1:19 am - Thanks, Kristi. I'd sure love to see a her gap filled by many more people like her. I've been praying in a similar way. May we each be one of them.
December 20, 2009 - 10:19 pm - Thank you Fritz...this is so well put.
December 20, 2009 - 9:54 pm - Fritz, I watched the coverage on Katie's situation, and felt such a burden to pray. The more I find out about the kind of woman she was, the more I understand why. Without knowing any of these things about her, I felt compelled to pray that God would raise up others to fill the huge gap that will be left on this earth, due to her departure. Now I understand why. Thank you for putting this together to honor her and the person she was. Sincerely, Kristi Kernal
December 20, 2009 - 5:03 am - wow, Fritz - I didn't know her but feel the empty space she has left behind.....however, not so empty as I read your words about her. I picture her with the great cloud of witnesses that surround us challenging us to continue to run. Thanks for your words and pictures. -t
December 29, 2009 - 10:19 pm [...] of climber and friend Katie Nolan was painful for many in Portland and around the world. You can read my tribute to her on my blog. The Associated Press picked up some of my photos of her, and as a result, they were used all [...]
Some assignments make me feel older.
I knew Lauralee’s parents when they were in high school–and I was, too. I remember her brother in a carseat, Lauralee as a toddler. Such a sweet child; I photographed her numerous times when she was younger. One of those images went into an artist’s portfolio that was collected by...

A couple of classic shots from a studio shoot this week. The photo session was even more interesting when I learned that the model, Lydia, is married to a Moroccan. Since we’ve both been there recently, we talked about Morocco as we worked, and about the 5 or 6 languages she speaks, and...
Good light has been in short supply while I’ve been in England. Most days the skies are a blank gray canvas covering the city. But. . .when the light is good, it’s very good.

November 15, 2007 - 10:11 am - Cool. I have some friends who didn't make it over to PSU to see it before, so now maybe they'll be able to see your showing.
Faces and Facades: London, Kenya, Israel
England, Kenya, Israel. Three continents, three cultures, three weeks.
While my work in these places was to photograph those I was there to serve (a medical relief team), my eye was constantly drawn to the local faces and façades.
Whether in Kenya, where the mud structures that have been built for...
