Its pretty cool what you can do with two flash units these days. While shooting the restaurant for the upcoming  Dining Guide I saw Josh doing his thing with fire at the bar.
I placed a remote flash unit to his left back and put a blue gel on it. The flash was aimed at the wall and his back. A second concentrated flash unit was shot off camera. I exposed for the background so the colors would show. Pretty simple really. If you don't have two flash units you can do similar things with flashlights and a sturdy tripod.

What does a travel photographer do when he is not on the road? Well... we decided to build  a portrait series and book "99 People of Central Oregon". That book was published last year.

Our new project 999 People of Central Oregon started this month. So we are looking for willing models to be included. We will feature a diverse spectrum of people and are looking for a wide mix of characters. Please send suggestions through our Facebook page, link below.
To participate in the this project is absolutely free. Be part of „999 People of Central Oregon“.

Living in Central Oregon I am always reminded of my old stomping grounds in Switzerland. What Sparks Lake is to me here in Oregon, Seealpsee  was in my old country.

You have to walk up to this Lake which takes about 30 minutes. To catch the first light and the red glow on the rocks you the trail in the dark. This image was captured with a film camera and Fuji Velvia Film. That film had only 50 ISO and really had to be shot at 40 ISO so it got exposed right. Naturally a tripod was and still is essential for most landscape shots. The morning I took this image we had  one of those perfect late summer days in Switzerland when the air is fresh and calm and the sky has that deep stunning blue. Days we take for granted in Central Oregon  but in Switzerland and west of the Cascades are are hard to find.

I will be teaching a weekend workshop this spring on the top of the mountain you see in this photo. Mount Saentis has a Restaurant and a hotel on Top. The View taken from there is truly spectacular. I took the second photo one winter evening right after Mountains and it felt truly like the top of the world.
