Sounders’ Storybook Ending on Keller Night
Last Saturday night was Kasey Keller’s final regular season home match for the Seattle Sounders. Over 64,000 fans came out to partake in one of the biggest retirement parties ever. And although the Sounders did not have a great match, it ended in true storybook fashion that would seem cliché …
Sounders 3-Peat! US Open Cup Champions, Again!
I hate how the word “epic” is so overused these days. But last night’s match at Century Link Field between my Seattle Sounders and the Chicago Fire truly was epic. The stage was set for something special–Seattle looked to become the first team in 40 years to win the Lamar …
Four Free Passes to Seattle Art Museum

Tribute to Sounders’ Zakuani
Last week, Seattle Sounders’ star winger Steve Zakuani suffered a potentially season-ending broken fibula and tibia during an away match against Colorado. Today, the home supporters paid tribute to the number 11 at the eleventh minute mark in the match against Toronto (which they went on to win 3-0!). It …
Portrait on Bus
On Saturday, my wife and I headed downtown to roam around in search of good light for some portrait shots (last week’s assignment, I’ll post more on that later). On the bus ride down, someone sitting behind us ask if I was a picture taker because my tripod was sticking …
Seattle Three Ways
Last week I finally made it down to EMP with my camera. It was a lot of fun playing with colors and shapes. But one of my favorites out of the series was this one which includes three of Seattle’s iconic images all in one – the Space Needle, EMP, …
