Instead of going to Burning Man for a 10th time this year, I took a trip to Vancouver Island. The full set of photos are on my Facebook fan page, but here are a few highlights…

You may have noticed that I have not been posting on this blog lately – I have been way too busy with the book launch for La Figa: Visions of Food and Form and its blog/site/facebook site to keep up with my own. However I did want to share some of the photography that I did for the Fremont Solstice Parade here. This year I was shooting stills at the parade for the upcoming documentary film Beyond Naked.  Albums of my parade photos and the behind-the-scenes shots of the body painting party can be found on my Facebook fan page.

Here are some highlights…

Well that took a while, but I have finally finished editing the photos from my trip to Turkey with Tiberio in May. Here are a few highlights. The complete album can be seen on my Facebook fan page…

Tiberio’s recent TED talk about his life story and the La Figa Project from the October TEDx Rainier event is now online…

I recently went on an amazing Grand Canyon river rafting trip, put together by guide Robby Pitagora. I went with a pretty light kit — Nikon D300, and three lenses: the Nikon 18-200, Sigma 10-20, and Nikon 50 1.4. It definitely would not have been worth the hassle to bring (and constantly change) the bigger professional lenses, and honestly I don’t think the photos would really have turned out noticeably better.

Here are a handful of my favorite images. The full set can be found on my Facebook fan page.
