45th Parallel Photography

45th Parallel Photography My images are crafted with intention, rich color, and gallery quality detail designed to anchor a room and spark conversation. I have always loved photography.

From dramatic cityscapes to intimate lifestyle portraits, I turn moments into artwork that will enrich your home's decor. Even as a small child, I would set up props and backdrops and models, and take what I called "special effects" shots, using my grandmother's old 1940s Kodak. I wanted to share with others something that I saw, my vision, so to speak. As I grew up, I always had my camera with me

, whether it was a Polaroid or Yashika or Kodak, a camera was never very far from my reach. I am equally at home shooting landscapes with magnificent sunsets, the rising moon over a mountain, an intimate closeup of a bee collecting pollen, or the simple joy on a child's face as they see someone or something they love. I shoot for the sheer fun of it, and the enjoyment and satisfaction I get from creating something memorable and lasting. Thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoy my photos. And if there is anything here that sparks your imagination, something that you''d like to be created specifically for you, please let me know, and let's discuss it.

One of Portland's most iconic pieces of public art is the 70-foot tall "Attitude of Gratitude" mural. Created by internationally known muralist Fin DAC, this five-story artwork depicts a woman with her hands clasped in gratitude and a bird resting on her shoulder. What makes it truly unique is her "hair," which consists of more than 1,000 living plants, changes with the seasons.

I'd been wanting to see this mural in person for several years but hadn't been able to until today.

I love how this mural is never exactly the same twice. As the plants grow and change throughout the year, the mural itself evolves, making it unique every time you see it.
