An Australian getting married to a Cambodian on a beach in Thailand. That’s a recipe for a beautiful day. Seth and Gabi and their families and friends gathered together at a small resort on the beach south of Bangkok, and we all had a great time. Seth’s a talented musician and sang during the ceremony. And Gabi–she’s gorgeous. I have…
This fall has been full of photo shoots, demonstrations, and stock and editorial assignments. I thought I’d share some of them with you. Some are pretty funny. (Which reminds me of a statement from a customer this past week. He was looking at my books, and said, “I like your work. There’s a real touch of whimsy to it.” I’d…
Nick and Maria came to Portland from Chicago for their New Year’s Eve wedding at the Arista Ballroom. After a beautiful ceremony (officiated by Maureen Haley) and dinner (with beautiful flowers by Broadway Floral), the DJ started spinning some tunes, and didn’t stop until well into 2010. Which is great, because Nick and Maria and their family and friends like…
I have a Google Alert that lets me know any time my name or business name comes up on the web. It’s entertaining and informative. I’ve saved the last few, and on this snowy Portland night where nobody’s going anywhere (including my wife, stuck sleeping at the hospital where she’s working…), I thought I’d share some links with you. Imago…
A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family this holiday season, from all of us here at Fritz Photography!
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 succombed to hypothermia. In spite…
Nicole told me she was bored with the senior portrait photographers she found in Salem, her home town, where she goes to Blanchet. So when she and her mom started searching for more creative, artistic portrait photographers, they decided on me. They drove up from Salem to Portland in the pouring rain, and we had an enjoyable portrait session, indoors,…
It’s been a big month in my family. I have three younger sisters. The oldest of the 3 has a 7 year old son, and he and I have a lot of fun together. In the past month, we’ve added two more children to the clan: my youngest sister, Evie, had Silas a month ago. They live in Denver, and…
This month, I’m pleased to announce that Skeleton in the Closet: Eating Disordered Lives is currently showing at The Art Center at Washington State University. If you’ll be in the Tri-Cities, Washington area through November 30, please stop in and see the show. Speaking of university shows, I’m currently in the process of booking Skeleton in the Closet at University…
Continuing with my string of posts (read the two previous posts) related to Facebook and photography, let me tell you the story of Christine Drazan. Christine and I were friends in college, nearly 20 years ago, at George Fox. The last time I saw her was at her wedding, in the mid-nineties. As happens in life, our paths parted, and…
While in New York for another assignment, I was commenting on Facebook about the constant downpour of rain in the city. I’d noticed that all true New Yorkers have umbrellas–because they walk everywhere. Even their baby strollers have rain covers and windshields. Coming from Oregon, I figured I could handle a little rain. But then it dawned on me: in…
Facebook sure is a lot of fun, and aside from the fun of keeping up with friends and family, I have another reason to appreciate it: Julie Moon saw my ad for wedding photography, and hired me to tell the story of her wedding on Long Island, New York. No problem, I told her. I photographed a wedding in New…
