Hello all,

A new version of my VIEWS of the Pacific Northwest site is now up! I've been working on this for the last few months, making a pointed shift from "photo blog" to "commercial enterprise" and generally simplifying / improving things all around. It's been a fun and deeply educational experience, as web projects often are.

The new site has a few things you might find interesting:     

1) Simplified Print Sizes — All currently offered prints are the same size (20x60in) leaving you free to focus on the image itself.

2) Half-Size Prints — Since not all of us have massive walls available, all VIEWS prints are now available in half-size (10x30in).

3) Multi-Desktop Wallpapers — All panoramic are available as free 3-panel, retina-resolution wallpapers... perfectly sized for use on MacOS Spaces. Panoramic images pose an interesting challenge when translated to wallpaper due to their extreme aspect ratio, but the format actually enables something pretty special when paired with multiple screens (or multiple desktops).

Stop by and take a look!

"For a long time I've been a fan of Hood River. It’s a beautiful place, nestled on the banks of the Columbia River filled with breweries and good people. But the overwhelming draw to the area has always been Mt. Hood. Being from Seattle originally, I never thought I’d forsake my precious Mt. Rainier in favor of adopting another “home mountain,” but in the long years since I moved to Portland, the slender silhouette of Mt. Hood has become intrinsic to my mental model of what a mountain is. It isn't a matter of Mt. Hood being more picturesque or awe-inspiring than its hulking cousin to the north. It simply has assumed a place in my mind as the quintessential mountain."

I was going through my photography from the last few years and realized that I've spent the better half of a decade capturing this peak through the progressive march of seasons. First from one vantage point, and then another as I discovered new points of view and ways to get closer. It’s kind of a beautiful, ongoing journey… and I'd like to share it with you.

Come take a look!

Hello, fellow deviants!


I've recently revamped my entire online gallery, simplifying it and doing away with Flash altogether in favor of good ol' responsive HTML and CSS (and it's about damn time, too). It features a newly updated collection of wallpapers for both laptop/PC (now at 1920x1200 so they actually fit your 16:10 screens) and smartphone... and since it's not flash anymore iPhone people can actually get to it! Please take a moment to check it out -- and if you find any bugs, let me know.

Take a look!





And for those of you who are enjoying my VIEWS of the Pacific Northwest collection, be sure to visit the site itself to see the full spread -- all available in large format fine art paper or canvas prints.

Hey all,

You may see a large number of re-submissions in the coming days... I'm reorganizing my DeviantArt account to accommodate my VIEWS of the Pacific Northwest project and a general overhaul of my gallery page. I've learned a lot about prints and image quality while setting up my photography business, and this reorganization will represent a culling of images that aren't up to snuff from a print point of view. Many deviations will disappear, never to be seen again, but still more will return having been tweaked and polished for your enjoyment. If you can't find a piece that you had favorited prior, please feel free to message me and I'll let you know if it's on backlog or removed pending reshoots.

In other news, stay tuned for a fully rebuilt gallery page -- in HTML5, so it'll work on your phones and tablets as well. It's about time, right?

Structure, a new ambient album from composer Mike Lemmon (of Experience The Planets fame) is now available! 

"Following the success of Neue's "The Planets", "Structure" explores new ambient electronic soundscapes. Featuring warm piano melodies, haunting beats, and lush distorted textures, Structure was crafted to take listeners on a new introspective journey."
