A good moment to remember with Sammy and Dune, we had gone to an orchard on Sauvie to visit Amy and Daniel and see some of their cider making process. We ate at Fort George, sat on the second floor and there were over 5 cargo boats in the river. After, we wanted to see sunset on the beach, though it was impossibly foggy when we arrived. Right before we left the sun came out and the colors were subtle but amazing. What a day!
Council Crest with Amber
My buddy Amber was leaving Portland so we got together to shoot some photos at Council Crest park. With a sharp crescent moon overhead and more than one group of teens lounging on park benches and clutching joints, we used some flashes and the light of two cell phones to get these wonderful pictures. Gonna miss you Amber!

3 Days of Hotel Self Portraits
New Winter Triangle Music
Welcome SOLERA to the universe! It’s 10 songs joyfully recorded in my kitchen are available on all streaming platforms now.
Buying an OP-1 last year became the catalyst for this record-its sonic bedrock. I experimented using drum loops and sampling voices from the radio, as well as playing hardware synths and guitar.
Since 2020 I have now released 4 full length albums during a time of immense change for myself and the world. What a ride!
I now aspire to be in a band again…its been a long time.
SOLERA was mixed by Ryan Eilback and myself. Mastering by Dan Wilburn at Demolition HQ. Cover image created by me with Midjourney.
