Aria Dance presents Threads

Just a moment to highlight an upcoming dance performance that I made the poster for. The Aria Dance Company is presenting "Threads, weaving the stories of life" on November 5th. The show will also feature guest performances from Dance Contemporary and AEON Contemporary Dance.

You can get tickets to the performance at http://www.ariadancecompany.org/.

I took photos at the last performance, which may give you a taste of the great shows this group puts on. 2009 Show

Frisbee Action Shots

Ultimate frisbee at its best. This team almost won the IM championship!

Tidal Energy

This is a longer blog post than normal because these photos require a bit more explanation. I was invited out on the RV Robertson to photograph the placement of a tidal energy data system. The system is called a spider and it is loaded with equipment to measure velocity and record other data that will help the researchers place the tidal turbines in the correct location.





Once the spider is ready to deploy the team of researchers carefully positions the system and lowers it to the bottom of Admiralty Inlet where it will collect data over time.


The University of Washington research team will analyse this data and many other sources to help determine the best way to implement tidal energy in Puget Sound.



If you would like more information about this UW effort, please see the UW Marine Energy website. If you would like to look at the photos from the cruise they are in this gallery.

Olympic Events - Size small

I took my niece ice skating a few weeks ago. This is her first (new) pair of ice skates and the first time she has ever seen the Olympics. Just wanted to share this tiny tribute to the wonderful athletes new and old!

First time I saw Teremoto sail, they did a great job with low winds for the Duwamish Head race. Great sailing! More photos in the gallery.
