Sadly, Satheara is leaving sunny (bwhwahahahahah) Portland for New York at the end of January. She will be back, and we WILL be shooting more!!

Here are a couple of the first Portland Pin-Ups Bombshell, Cherry Dollface, and a couple of Dottie Diamond, also.

I had a great time with one of my Pinned-Up workshops. This time, I borrowed the studio of my good friend, Kelly Scaccia. We had four great models and had a blast!

These are my favorite portraits created during the workshop.

While there, I was taken downtown by my good friend, Harold, from my album supplier, Finao. From the horror stories I’d been told before heading there, I wasn’t expecting much, but what I found wasn’t a war zone, but rather a faded but proud city. It’s a shame to me that the city is in such decline – there are a lot of proud people left and I believe a willingness to hunker down and get to work making it great again. If big business would move in, it could be.

Here are some of my favorite images from my trip:
