Welcome to 2012. The world may be ending but, what the hell, it’s way past time for a new website. The wonderful Forrest Peaker at SlowClouds designed my site so hey, hire him! I feel more professional already. Thank you, Forrest!

Please check out and subscribe to Printopia as I complete print and photography related book reviews and conduct interviews with artists living and working in the Pacific Northwest. New work is making its way onto the net, which is exciting and a little terrifying. There’s now also a bona fide photography section where I will be placing favorite photographic images. In fact, the homepage is devoted to the “photograph of the week” which will feature, you guessed it, a new photograph each week. My teaching and student work area is expanded and updated, so hey, hire me!

Play will remain an outlet for sharing my adventures, thoughts and photographs. Eventually, I will upload all my old blog posts from 2004 -2008 for posterity and the fun of it. Maybe my own way-back feature, or something. Oh, and duuuuuuuuuudes… I totally have comments now so leave a nice note or something. I am currently blog-backlogged, so look for posts on Las Vegas weddings, Eastern Oregon adventures, Christmas in Kentucky, and the WWE’s live RAW tour in Yakima!
