I spent some time testing the drone in beautiful Issaquah, Washington today around dusk to make long exposure photos. I couldn’t believe that I was able to make a two-second exposure with the drone. It’s completely sharp! As the days get shorter, flying around dusk won’t be so bad, after all.
I recently returned to a set of photos from a couple of years ago that I made in rural Mongolia, a story about nomadic life, to publish here for the first time. Thanks for looking.
It’s amazing to see snowy mountains already in Washington’s Cascade range in October. As a skier, I’m hoping for more soon.
Two red panda cubs made their public debut today at Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle. Adorable creatures that provide a nice break from a year of stressful news!
With the help of Google Translate for reading German, below is the introduction to a story I recently worked on for Swiss newspaper WOZ Die Wochenzeitung, touching on economic inequality in Seattle during the pandemic:
I’ve been photographing Seattle’s Duwamish River for about a decade and it was a pleasure to see the work published in the Seattle Met fall 2020 issue. The layout and design looks great. It’s amazing to see a personal project finally find a home – and with 14 pages in the magazine.
As Stefan Milne writes: “Even after a century of commercial pollution—which had the EPA label it one of the most toxic sites in the U.S. in 2001—salmon still run in the river. Residents of adjacent neighborhoods like South Park fish there. And, slowly, due to two decades of cleanup, the river is healing.”
I took the plunge into drone photography this year (or should I say took the leap?), exploring Seattle and beyond, and I have been quite impressed by the drone I purchased: the DJI Mavic 2 Zoom. Reviewing it here, I will try to give you some insight into the drone in case you are shopping around. I’ve had friends and colleagues ask about what I’m using and how I like it, so read on for an impartial DJI Mavic 2 Zoom review.
