I’ve always been a fan of architecture and so I was excited to work with Dwell to tell the story of this beautifully designed and efficient home. This house is net zero- it creates just as much an energy as it uses- which means that it’s cost effective, largely independent from the grid, and environmentally friendly. This is all made possible though a series of well-integrated systems and passive design.

I was very excited to be contracted by The Friends of the Benson Trolleys to produce a short film about their mission to reintroduce two of Seattle’s history trolleys.  With traffic issues only getting worse public transit is the way to go. And what better way to move through the city than on one of these beauts’.  It obviously is a bit hit in San Francisco (and other cities), so why not here as well! We have them sitting in storage, they’re in excellent condition and with a little work they can operate on our existing and future rails.  With Seattle’s overwhelming rate of new development this is a perfect opportunity to embrace the past.

I had the please of collaborating with and documenting Design in Public's annual, city-wide design festival.  The biggest lesson I leaned from this project- as our booming city grows inclusive, thoughtful, forward-thinking design of all sorts is really the foundation for healthy growth.

In response to one of the portraits in the recent Wyeth retrospective at SAM, Carlee McManus-Davis and I create a short film for the Wyeth Film Sprint. We created this within 48 hours. Super fun to get Wyeth-y and weird on Whidbey. Props to Nate Sawtell and Zach Wunder for helping out in big ways.

Shot stills, video and edited this campaign with PRR to help us all remember keep that cell phone out of reach while driving. More info about the campaign here.

Back in June my bud Judd and I escaped for a short backpacking trip in the ridiculously beautiful Enchantments. Washington really is an outstanding state- I can’t believe this place is only a few hours away from Seattle. Hoping to make this an annual adventure.

Every time I go to Port Townsend I make a point of shooting in the local ship yard called Boat Haven, where vessels of every sort are being worked on in various capacities. It’s just this incredibly rich, dynamic environment that inspires and fascinates me.
