Washington: Last Day
Tacoma, WA.
Last day in Washington was last Wednesday. Took some pictures around the lobby at Hotel Murano. Then had a quick coffee with Sean at Cutters Point before catching my evening flight. A memorable first trip to the PNW. I look forward to coming back soon.
- Oh Chris- You make Tacoma look amazing! I love the little details you shoot. Of course I love my camera below :) My baby.March 6, 2010 - 1:06 am
- There's so much I like about your WA photos. Like the framing of certain objects, or the smiley face from a styrofoam box (was that intentional?)or the horse lamp... and getting to see someone in action taking photos too. Very cool :)March 6, 2010 - 11:00 pm
- @Heather: Thanks! Great change of scenery, loved it. And yes, your baby below. :) That much more special knowing it's captured all sorts of beautiful.
@NJ: The styrofoam face was indeed intentional lol. Very nice to hear you enjoyed the images, thank you. P.S. The guy shooting is Sean Flanigan, one of my faves.March 7, 2010 - 9:05 am
- chris, you do tacoma well. thanks friend!March 7, 2010 - 7:48 pm
- Beauuuutiful. All of them. I especially like that first shot of the building and third of the rainbow behind the tree branches. Great stuff. That statue ones are nice too. Tacoma looks like it definitely has some cool character. Thanks for sharing your trip! :)March 7, 2010 - 9:01 pm
Washington: Day 4
Last Tuesday. The Flanishop. Tacoma, WA.
The Flanishop was an intense all-day photography workshop last week, hosted by Sean Flanigan. Many would describe Sean’s work as honest. His workshop was very much the same. So much was covered, everything from better understanding yourself, conquering your fears, realizing your gift, sharing that gift, to never hesitating to do your best in what you want to do. We also had a guest presentation by Heather Gilson, who is a photographer that truly knows how to make unique work for herself; very artistic and eye opening. On top of this, all of the fellow attendees were ridiculously talented photographers as well. It was quite the group.
Layered on top of these moments and lessons of clarity was an extensive dosage of live shooting demos around town. We had the lovely help of Julie and Andy as our couple for the day. You may recognize them from Sean’s earlier work. Towards the end of the day we took a deep look at Sean’s post processing workflow, the Photoshop magic so to speak. If you’ve ever wanted to get schooled by the FlanMan, this was it. The workshop was nothing short of intense, and ten times as inspiring. Getting the opportunity to meet Sean was great, he was very down to earth and open to any questions. The eventful day wrapped up at the Asian Dining Lounge, Indochine, where we lavished in yummies and shared our final stories of the night. I’m thankful to have been part of this first installment and I couldn’t be happier with it being my first workshop as well. Cheers to an amazing day!
- Love the pictures bro, great work, great post! It was great meeting you, and I look forward to seeing more!March 1, 2010 - 2:28 pm

Warming dinner with Sean Flanigan and the gang at The Hub. Tacoma, WA.
- Awesome. I'm so glad you had such an amazing time. :)February 28, 2010 - 7:04 pm
- I love your attention to often overlooked details, like in photo number 3 up there (the water pitcher). It's a small detail, but adds so much to the photo shoot's overarching story. You've got a great photographic style -- really enjoying exploring your blog!March 1, 2010 - 3:45 pm
- Bikes! Sorry, they're just exciting to see in pictures :)March 6, 2010 - 10:51 pm
