Bill Clinton Will Shake Your Hand If You Let Him

I took this photo during a Spring 2008 rally for Hilary Clinton that took place in Corvallis, OR. Everyone wanted to shake former President Bill Clinton’s hand–a few succeeded. One really short lady was right beside me and literally started crying, because she was so excited to meet Clinton. She was shaking and screaming, “Bill, Bill” to get his attention. It was a crazy scene.

Soft Water

Soft Water. Moolack Beach. Oregon Coast

I took this photo four years ago when I was working for the Linn Benton Community College newspaper, The Commuter. I didn’t know at the time, but it turns out that the surfer is Lars Campos from Corvallis, Oregon. I knew him through work and when I told him I’d been taking pictures at Moolack Beach he told me he’d been out that day. I showed him my pics, and, sure enough, there he was.

Footin It

It’s not everyday that you see see a shot-putter kicking his shot around with his feet. Ashton Eaton of the University of Oregon track and field team did at the Oregon Relays at Hayward Field on 26 April, 2008.

Running On Bowerman

Running On Bowerman

I took this picture in Spring 2008, prior to graduation from the University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication. I was working as a photographer for Mosaic (hopefully, our issue will be up soon) on the Spring 2008 issue based around the Olympic Trials. The picture was taken right before dusk on Bowerman Curve at Hayward Field during the women’s 5,000 meter run at the Oregon Relays. I used a shutter speed of 1/15th of a second and panned with the field.

Turtle Back

Turtle Back

I took this picture on a recent trip to Hawaii. We were staying at a condo at the Royal Mauiian in South Kihei, Maui and tons of sea turtles would come in in the evenings and eat off the rocks right out in front of the condos. This sea turtle was dove forward and his flippers and the back of his shell came cresting out of the water.
