Someday I’ll retreat from Seattle proper to a little nook on Vashon. Until then, I’ll take day trips to sustain me.
Yesterday’s photo party with Dianna; film to come at a later date.

Refresh.
A week ago today, I turned 30. If I’d had any concerns about approaching this landmark age, the past 7 days have swept them away. I’ve had a lot of fun, a lot of time with close friends + family, some terribly indulgent delicious food, and best of all, a host of new projects and...
New Guard IV; one of the best nights I’ve ever had
That’s a mouthful of a post title, I know. But last night was like my own little miracle. Full to the brim with lessons in the value of community, family, determination, hard work, laughter, and star anise cake.
Our New Guard dinners are still an unexpected gift to me. From a...
In all forms
Home has so many meanings now. On tour, ‘home’ is whatever hotel we have that evening. When in Seattle any number of addresses qualify. Mainly it means where ever I find Damien, and where we find our family + friends.
We started 2010 with some of our favorite humans - New...
Nicole
Just a quick teaser, as things are a rush around here before the Jurados head to Europe. [Check out Damien's tour dates here.] I feel so lucky to have had a great bunch of seniors this year. Nicole was so well spoken, personable, and organized - I wish I had half her...
Launch Party at Licorous
Argentina444 continues to establish itself as the purveyor of the best of all things. Empanadas flown up from Los Angeles, tango dancers flown up from Buenos Aires, and the all-star roster of chefs from LA, San Francisco, Buenos Aires, and right here in Seattle. Everyone shared their enthusiasm for the upcoming trips +...
The New Guard
When summer was still in full swing, my dear Whitney took me to lunch. As we sipped lavender lemonade + snacked on seared scallops, she presented an idea to me. A far away fall evening to be the first of a series, with a dinner party featuring Seattle’s up and coming culinary talent....
Ode to Joy
When I first began taking photos, I had a completely different muse. I suppose it’s all the same impulse: to tell a story. But those first stories I was dying to tell were ones of youthful celebrations, beauty, late nights, loud shows, and dancing. My first images were almost exclusively… party...
Carolyn
On a Sunday afternoon that should’ve been rainy but wasn’t, Carolyn and I took advantage of the good weather + captured her senior portraits. She’s whip smart, a natural in front of the camera, and has great taste in music to boot. She even indulged my stories of senior year + how much...
Argentina 444
My heart skips a beat when I think about Argentina 444. This project is the stuff dreams are made of - a food themed expedition to Argentina for 10 days, guided + curated by one of four top chefs from four cities. How many different kinds of magic can you fit into one...
