Seattle Metropolitan Magazine - March '08 Issue
I have four photographs in the current issue of Seattle Metropolitan Magazine.
One is of renowned local architect and metal sculptor Chris Haddad, photographed in his tiny one car garage-turned workshop. His work is beautiful. And by work, I mean both the residences he designs and the metal forms he bends, hammers and welds in his shop. The piece he worked on during our shoot was from the "hulls" series. Below is an outtake from the shoot of Chris seated in front of a series of sketches of previous pieces. To the left is a piece from the "weapons" series.

The remaining images in the March issue are from a feature on the Tulalip Casino. The piece explores how the Tulalip tribe has benefitted from their casino's growth in size and popularity. We met some fantastic people on our day of shooting. Among them was Tulalip Chairman Mel Sheldon, seen here in an outtake from the shoot.

We shot this in a non-descript former outboard motor repair shop they've converted into a woodcarving studio. Here, artists like James Madison work with traditional tools to carve totems like the two seen lying flat in the portrait of Mel. These will soon adorn the lobby of the new hotel resort to open this year.

The shot of James (above) wasn't planned or on the shot list. We had wrapped shooting Mel and we were just about to strike our gear. But I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to shoot James working on this enormous piece. He was visibly proud of the work and I wanted to capture that. We stuck around for an extra half hour or so and photographed him doing his thing, like carving details into the dorsal fin of an orca. Also visible in the foreground is the face and claw of a bear.
