I recently worked with University of Washington Bothell recruiter Ramon Stephens, who is also a talented musician, to produce a music video for the school’s recruiting efforts. Ramon wrote and performed the song with help from Lia Brown, who added vocals. Have a look at “That’s Our Name” below!
The University of Washington Bothell has a wonderful culture and beautiful campus that is exploding in size. Have a look at the recent virtual tour video I produced and find time to visit in person if you can!
Have a look at this short film about former University of Washington linebacker Victor Aiyewa and share it to support his journey to the NFL. I filmed the workouts and there’s great editing by Ngozi Ashibuogwu.
I filmed the University of Washington Bothell Commencement for the third year in a row and am really happy with the short film I was able to produce. This is always a massive event with lots of emotion, and as a UW Bothell graduate school alum myself, it’s always cool for me to see each new group of students graduate from this campus. Of course, the student body is growing so rapidly that commencement is now at Alaska Airlines Arena on the Seattle campus, and soon will be too large for even that venue …
Another recent project that I produced for the University of Washington Bothell was a short wrap-up of a big annual event held for all of the new freshmen that have been admitted for the fall. Not all of them have chosen to accept their admittance yet, so the event is a chance for the prospective students to learn more about the campus, meet each other, and decide if UW Bothell is the place for them. It was a beautiful day and a fun event so have a look at the video above.
Have a look at the latest of my video work – a short film produced for the Burke Museum in Seattle. The museum wanted something that represented the institution as a whole but was geared enough toward the curators that it would be appropriate to screen at the museum’s main yearly fundraising event, the Curators’ Dinner. This was really a fascinating piece to produce and I was lucky to be able to explore the museum and meet so many talented individuals.
I recently produced a series of short videos about three outstanding graduating seniors at the University of Washington Bothell, each of whom was to receive a big award at the commencement ceremony. Jeb Pavleas and Chris McRae each won a Chancellor’s Medal and Chris Duong won the President’s Medal. They all have fascinating stories and are, of course, very very talented. For each student, after a short introduction on stage at the ceremony, my video was shown and the student was presented with their award. It was humbling to work with these three talented individuals and it was also cool to see my work on a big screen in front of thousands of people at the UW’s Alaska Airlines Arena on the Seattle campus. Have a look the the final pieces below:
Two of the many portraits I made of Mary Gates Scholars on display for an event at the University of Washington.

I had a great opportunity today to continue my photo essay of the Olympic Peninsula as seen through photos from an instant camera (my Fujifilm Instax 210). I happened to be in Port Townsend, Washington doing some filming for the University of Washington’s very impressive National Center on Quality Teaching and Learning in Head Start. After my shoot I continued my instant camera project. Here are a couple of new pictures below. See more from the photo essay in older blog posts here and here.
This week I am creating portraits of outstanding students for a special event honoring the Mary Gates scholarship program at the University of Washington. Below is Alexandra, who is studying whales.
I spent another day clinging onto my history of six years of University of Washington education while photographing a very interesting conference today for the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies held on campus in the Walker Ames room in Kane Hall. The conference, in honor of Dr. Daniel Chirot, was titled The Influence of Religion on International Politics. Below, Professor Paul Froese of Baylor University presents his work, Religion’s Influence on American Politics From a Global Perspective. He had some very very intriguing insight into Rick Santorum and the rest of the Republican presidential candidates, which was especially timely for me since I am in the middle of covering the campaigns as they roll through Washington state.
