When I was in Seattle this fall I took the ferry to Bremerton, WA. There was not a lot to see there, but they had an old Vietnam era Naval destroyer named the "USS turner". It was restored and you could go aboard and tour the whole ship. I spend a good 2hrs on that ship. It was amazing. This is my favorite photograph that I took of the ship. I just loved the reflection of the hull in the water. Its was truly artistic.

So, as many of you may know, I love Hoopfest! It is the one time of the year where I get a media pass and play official photographer. Most of the photographers leave around 5pm on Saturday, when the games are all but done. ...but not all of them! I wander around the city streets photographing the last games being played. The above photo is from one of those last games. This was an amazing out of bounds-saving play! The ball was moving from right to left, out of bounds. The girl was running and jumping straight towards me, grabbed the ball and threw it cross her body, right at the girl in blue's feet! I'm so glad I stay until the end of the day!

I love to photograph people climbing at Wild Walls climbing gym. I love the determination in the eyes of the climbers, the athleticism is awesome, the angle of the wall, and I just love shooting sports and people pushing the boundaries of their limitations. The people there are also super cool and interesting! This photograph isn't the best climbing photograph I took last year, but it does have the most interesting story! I'll try to make it short! I was about to leave for the night and I saw this girl climbing. She was moving very well, calm and somewhat easily. I quickly got my camera back out and took a few shots. They were awesome. So, I went and showed her the photos on the back of my camera and she said, "ha, it kind of looks like I know what I'm doing! lol!" I told her she could tag herself when I posted them on facebook. She took her phone and friended me on facebook right then. I said thanks and left. Later that night I checked my facebook and found out she was an acrobatic stunt woman and actress in the Marvel Universe live action show that is touring the world! The show was in Spokane for a couple weeks and her and her fellow performers were climbing at Wild Walls on there down time! I wish I would have stayed and kept shooting! Oh well, I though it was cool!

When I was visiting Seattle, I took the ferry to Bainbridge Island, then my cousin drove me to another island where I saw this scene. Almost eerie. A foggy background, still water and one little boat named "Drifter", docked all alone...

Again, while in Seattle I went on a ghost tour of Pike Place Market. I just thought it sounded interesting. I didn't think that I was going to photograph any ghost, but I just knew there would be a good photograph somewhere. When I saw the scene above, I knew I found my shot.The above shot is an empty Pike Place Market. During the day the scene above would have wall to wall vendors on both sides and hundreds of people walking down the isle, elbow to elbow. Yelling, screaming, talking, and fish flying everywhere. I love the stillness and calmness of this photo in a place that is normally loud and crazy.

I don't claim to be an architectural photographer, but I do know when something looks cool and this looks cool! Sometimes interesting photos just kind of fall in our lap. During a portrait shoot at Riverfront park this fall, my model was using the restroom in the pavilion and I was patiently waiting. I was sitting on this big concrete block where the center pole holding up the pavilion was attached to. I laid on my back, opened my eyes and this is what I saw. Absolutely stunning. I turn the scene black and white so that the lines of the photograph would stand out more.
And there you have it, My 6 favorite non-portrait photographs of 2016! Please feel free to go to my facebook page to see more photos! Thanks to Hoopfest and Taylor Hemmeter of Marvel Universe live for allowing me to photographer her!
