Creative Head Clearing: GoPro Style

Mountain therapy with Jim Garner. Best way to clear the head and get creatively inspired! This was all shot with our GoPro HD cameras. If you are looking for a fun/waterproof camera to have then be sure to click on the link below. One of the funnest investments I’ve made recently. Look out for more of these in the near future.

What I’m Loving

One of the great things about the GoPro camera is how easy it is to use and how almost indestructible it is. My 4yr. can grab it and take photos with it and I really don’t worry about it. One shutter button and that’s all prefect for them to start learning.

It’s been awhile

Well it’s been awhile since I’ve posted on my blog. To be honest I really wanted to just get rid of it all together. Over the last couple months I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about this blog and finally decided today that I need to get back on it. I really like just sharing stories, both personal and professional, so here we go again.

As you can see I’ve given it a complete redesign for a fresh look. Along with a fresh design here I also gave the whole website a fresh design. Please check it out and let me know what you think. I plan to really post a lot here so hopefully I can stay true to my word.

Have a great weekend and see you next week on here.

PS: The boys and I are planning a camp out tonight, tent and all!!!!……….in the basement!

Sharing a story

Yesterday I was sitting at *bucks catching up with a buddy and I noticed these words on my cup. They sum up exactly why I am a photographer. It’s my joy to be able to share stories. Have a great Xmas everyone.

Moto Show – Seattle

Two weeks ago I took the boys to the moto show. It was like going to the amusement park. Yes they loved the ATV and dirt bikes the most. Boys after their dad’s hear. Haha, someday!

Haiti Relief Show – Q Café

hagecreative — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 18:58:41 +0000

A couple weeks ago I had the privilege to offer my services and document a Haiti Relief Benefit show at the Q Café. I really enjoy the opportunities to offer my services for causes like these. We heard a first hand story of a woman who was actually in Haiti and trapped in a building when the earthquake hit. Enjoy some of these images and video from the evening. Remember: Don’t forget Haiti.

What does this image say to you?

I find myself here a lot with all that is going on around me. I captured this image for a project my wife is working on. It speaks to me on so many levels.

A letter to Haiti

hagecreative — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 21:58:14 +0000

I find myself heartbroken, feeling helpless for Haiti. If it was in my power I would pack a bag right now and get down there any way I could. But that’s not realistic for me. My wife wrote a beautiful letter on her blog that sums up how my heart feels right now too….

Dear Haiti,

I do not know you well. I don’t know much of your story. I’ve never had the chance to visit you and see your beautiful home. I hear it’s wonderful. I hear your story is one of heartbreak and struggle to persevere and unity with your family. I hate that this tragedy has struck you. I hate that I sit on a soft couch in a warm building, drinking coffee, knowing that as helpful as my money may be, nothing I send you can take away your pain. I want to take you home with me. I want to clothe you and feed you, and sing songs to you like I do my own children. Haiti, I am sorry that the world has ignored your needs for so long. As awful as this sounds, maybe the beauty from the ashes is that this time, your needs won’t go unnoticed. Maybe this is the season for the world to step up and face their fear of failure, give away their need for power and control, sacrifice more than seems possible, and open their arms to strangers without calculating the costs first. Maybe this is the season that the heart will lead and it will not be a hardened heart, but a broken heart, a remorseful heart. A reconciling heart.

Haiti you have a very amazing creator. He thinks your special. He has given you both your inner beauty and outer beauty. He has given you inner strength, when your outer strength crumbles. If you don’t know him, you should meet him. He’ll walk with you through this storm closer than anyone else.

Haiti. I am sorry. I wish I could do more. Someday I will come meet you and I hope we will be good friends.

I support an organization called One Day’s Wages. Each year I commit to donating a % of earnings to them. With the recent events they have already setup an Emergency Haiti Relief Fund where you can go and donate to help relief efforts. If all we can do right now is help fund the efforts that more then just sitting still. If you haven’t already and can, give. If you can’t then keep yourself informed of what is happening over there on a day to day basis. We all have a voice and can all make a difference in our own way.

Maybe as a photography community we could all pick a date this year and donate all proceeds to help. Who’s in for a“Your Wedding for Haiti” program?
