Last week, I decided that I should really shed the rest of my winter insulation, and my good friend, Derrick Fernandez, called me up and asked if I would like to go for a ride. I said sure, and I think I really shocked him because he has been asking me to ride for the last three months now. A hour later, I meet up with him. My bike has been keeping my another friend's garage company for a year now, and, with a little tune up, I was on my mountain bike for a 22 mile ride. It wasn't the smoothest ride for me, it was actually one of the worst rides I've been on in awhile, but Derrick kept me going....

I was ask to shoot some photos of Spokane's own metal band, Mercy Brown, at the Knitting Factory in Spokane, Washington. If metal is something you enjoy, then this is the band you definitely need to check out.
There one obstacle I had to get through. I could not use any flash at all. There was video being shot through out the show. I knew that I would have to cope with the stage lights and there would be a little blur in the images, so I just had fun with it.

On the train ride home from North Dakota, it was a very overcast day, so there wasn't much going on outside the windows. Once in awhile, the sun would peak out from the clouds and I would start shooting. I spent most of my time talking to people that were in the observation cart. This is where I captured the photos of Valodia and his daughter, Nova. I really enjoyed my train ride back. Thank you to the people that let me be apart of their lives, I know that I will remember you!

I was watching a friendly game of Beer-in-Hand Kickball up on Capital Hill in Seattle and saw this guy sitting on the bench, watching the game, too. I knew it, it was one of the moments that you see and wished you had your camera. Luckily, my camera was not far from me.
There are two versions of this photo. I could not decide if I liked it in color or black and white.
