About

I am the owner and sole photographer for Manifest Photography LLC,  but this blog is not just about my business.  It’s also a venue for me to display experimental work, or work that I had fun creating, even if the result wasn’t stellar.  I hope that you will feel free to interact with me about the photos and ideas that I present here.  Love it?  Hate it?  Let me know! If you want to see more of my photography or get information about my fine-art leasing program in Portland, Oregon, please visit www.manifestphoto.com.

Mexico

In my last post I told you that I would soon be posting photos from my recent trip to Mexico.  I suppose as long as you measure time like the Ents of Middle Earth, I’m doing pretty well.  I still haven’t gone through and finished all of the photos from my trip, but here are several of my favorites.

My trip started with many dear friends, gathered in San Pancho for a wedding.  Our diverse group from all over the world got the hair-brained idea to go for a horse ride into the jungle on a very rainy day.  I packed my camera in a waterproof bag just in case, and I was very glad I did when I saw this amazing gathering of butterflies on a branch next to a stream.

This pre-dawn photo is a 3 minute exposure of the waves lapping between the rocks on this shore.  The bird you will see if you look closely was almost completely still during the entire 3 minutes, giving me a fantastic silhouette.

Though the trip ended before I was ready, I had many great things to look forward to upon my return, so I said adieu with grace and optimism for my next adventure.
