People of integrity

Thanks to my camera, I have the opportunity to shake hands with professionals from many trades. The images I capture may not always illustrate their dedication, principles and passion, but they never-the-less they live those characteristics.

I recently had the opportunity to photograph two professionals who embody their mission statement (see below) and have truly mastered their trade. Builders Owen Roberts and Bryan Wygal are not just committed to their craft, they are passionate about it. And you can see that in the photos hanging around their office. Their fingerprints can be found on many beautiful homes and business' here in the Northwest, and I'm looking forward to learning more about the company when an interview of Owen is posted on the NW real estate forum

Roberts * Wygal Mission Statement

We believe that truly superior homes are built by people of integrity – whose simple, timeless principles direct both the building process and their own personal lives. These principles include impeccable honesty, attention to fine detail, clear communication among all participants, and a dedication to doing things right the first time.

Troll's come out at night

The Fremont troll is no doubt a colossal statue, the head-and -shoulders is 18-feet tall and weighs in at a mere 13,000 lbs. He is made from 2 tons of messy ferroconcrete. The troll took up residence on Halloween of 1990, under the north end of the Aurora bridge, and hasn't left since. He was sculpted by four Seattle area artist -- Steve Badanes, Will Martin, Donna Walter and Ross Whitehead -- a team calling themselves the Jersey Devils. The Fremont troll took about seven weeks to complete.

Home in Seattle

an old bus parked on the side of the road this morning offered itself up for a photograph. I thought it was only fitting after the road trip from Austin to Seattle the crew and I made just a month ago.
