i'm so glad spring is here, good riddance to that nasty winter weather... and freezing cold weather to shoot in. since the weather has been getting better, i've been involved in more and more shoots.

here's a shot gabe took of me while i was shooting some corporate stock images in the world trade center in portland. gabe came down to shoot with me on that shoot as well as a few other things i had lined up that week. keep an eye on my flickr website - i try and put at least a few images from each shoot up there: http://flickr.com/photos/yeahboone/

march is flying by! jacqi and i enjoyed a visit from my parents earlier this month. they came down for the weekend and we showed them some of our favorite places down here. pix patisserie was probably one of the best, our favorite place for dessert. we had already taken them to papa haydn's last time they were here (which is another favorite of ours, and more convenient for us). some other places included checking out the pittock mansion, getting some rose tea at the rose garden, driving through the farmland/ plains outside of portland, a topless cruise in their saab up to the vista house in the gorge, and having dinner with jacqi's parents. here are some pics from their visit.

my friend dan from canada came down to portland to some business for his company, but during his down town we had a bunch of fun over the last couple of weeks. the first time he came down he had a mustache, so naturally we did a little photoshoot to really exemplorate in how funny mustaches look. (is exemplorate a word? i remember one of my professors use it, so i'll keep it). anyways, you can see some of the pictures of dan here.

last weekend dan, jacqi and i went down to freddie's place to see them and meet freddie & erika's new baby son, wyatt mclain.

i went to ignite portland a couple of days ago. i especially enjoyed "where does imagination go" and "time for portland to take its place", also "politics as theatre" was pretty good. someday i should write about it... though i doubt that'll happen. something that actually might happen... i'm starting to think that maybe i should present something at the next ignite....we'll see about that.

Dan in Real Life

Sondre Lerche, in Bergen (Norway).

the other day Jacqi and I went down to the Mission Theater to watch Dan in Real Life. now that's a really nice combination... wife, mission theater, & romantic comedy. there were some other factors involved that are important to mention as well. the mission is this old church that one day turned into a union hall, and later on a theater. its a very neat / ornate building that if you ever come visit us in portland, we'll try to work in a matinee there. such a cool place to see a movie, and they serve delicious food (it's a McMenamins). secondly, sondre lerche did the whole soundtrack to the movie. while the movie had a charming plot and michael scott from the office, the soundtrack totally completed the movie for me. you know what its like to sit down and listen to a new cd that instantly becomes your favorite? well combine that with a dungeon burger (swiss cheese and mushrooms), your wife, and a funny romantic movie and you have yourself a very nice night.

i am not a cat wig designer

so if cats wearing wigs isn't weird enough (and that you could buy them if they weren't out of stock!), check out their "about us" page... this woman Julie Jackson and "boone" make the wigs. i swear it's not me.

the vacu-suck

i don't know if anyone remembers the "vacu-suck" from waynes world - i sure do. i've been wanting one for a good few years now... and especially lately. jacqi doesn't like it when i trim my hair because it the stubble looks like "little bugs" in the sink. and the one thing i don't like about cutting my hair myself is having to clean up after a hair cut. so this invention would solve all of my problems! i just am not sure it works well (as far as hair cut style). but i guess its really just a different tool, and might take a bit of practice to master. like chopsticks.

anyways, i guess if anyone has any experience with this "flowbee", let me know. i am actually really interested in getting one some day.

furrrrr

hmmmm... so soft

awesome

this comic is too awesome.

anyways, i'm back in portland. this weekend was nuts! shooting shooting shooting - and in november of all months. it was fun hanging out with gabe, ashley & baron so much in bellingham - though i'm very glad to be home and with my beautiful wife! i'm really starting to love portland as well. weird huh. i'm still quite partial to seattle and i really enjoyed spending a couple of days there over the weekend. there's a new coffee shop in greenwood (neptune coffee), the matador's chili & nachos are still as tasty as ever, and verite coffee & cupcake royale are still indeed delicious.

this week i'll be processing at least some of the photos from the weekend before taking some time to enjoy turkey and family. i'll post some to the gbp blog soon! also, gabe and i are going to be implementing some fun new products & services for 2008 - i've been enjoying taking some time to research all that. maybe i'll write about that soon as well.
