I previously posted a few tear sheets of published work from my time this month covering same-sex marriage in Washington state, but see below for a larger edit. This new gallery on my website has more comprehensive coverage, including celebrations in Seattle on election night. Thanks for looking!
One of my images of the first same-sex marriage license in Washington state was pretty popular and ended up in print in The Wall Street Journal on December 8, in addition to appearing in lots of other media outlets.
Thursday morning was a historic day for Washington state, as new same-sex marriage equality laws went into effect along with a marijuana legalization initiative. I was shooting on assignment for Getty Images and the pictures were published widely across the U.S. and internationally. See below for an image of mine in The New York Times of Jane Lighty and Pete-e Petersen, and read more here. Lighty and Petersen received the first same-sex marriage license in Washington state. Stay tuned for a larger gallery of images of mine that is coming soon.

I was lucky enough to recently spend nine days backpacking on about 120 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail’s Section K in Washington, which is between Stevens Pass and Rainy Pass. It was a memorable experience and made for some great photos. We were fortunate to have beautiful weather and a successful, safe trip.
I recently had the opportunity to spend a few days in the wilderness making photographs in the Royal Basin area of Olympic National Park. It was truly stunning and a reminder of what a beautiful state Washington is. Below, I’ve created a short gallery of digital iPhone images. Check back soon for a new post featuring scans of instant prints I made with a Fujifilm Instax 210 – prints that are part of my ongoing instant print series on the Olympic Peninsula. (Update: here is the link to the instant prints)
