Zydeco Resturaunt In Bend, Oregon Is Voted Best Fine Dinning And Best Service
Last week Wendy and I worked more with Steve and Cheri of Zydeco Resturaunt to capture some spectacular sunset images on the roof terrace and more food shots. This place is packed every night and rightfully so. We’re just happy we can play a part in their success. Thanks to all of you and keep up the great work!

Recently Wendy and I went out and worked with George Wescott of Canadian born Ryders Eyewear. We took sponsored runner Max King out to Shevlin Park and captured these images.
High Desert Omnium Road Race In Bend, Oregon
Being an avid athlete of a few sports, one of my passions is cycling. If I can train and not go flying off the back of the peloton, I even love to race. Rather than racing this day, I had the opportunity to ride on the back of a motorcycle bike to shoot the action. I haven’t been on a moto really since my motocross days and I’ve only ridden a street bike once in my life. Sitting backwards on this moto while Bob hit 95mph was quite thrilling and when we slowed down (at some point), the photography was really rewarding as we were able to get up super close to watch the action without being a problem for the riders. Thank’s Bob for keeping me and my equipment safe! Enjoy the highlights and check the gallery for more!
Zydeco Restaurant Of Central Oregon Moves To Downtown Bend
One of the best places to eat out in Central Oregon, hands down, is Zydeco Restaurant. Now that they’ve moved into their new swank downtown Bend location, what was once the best kept secret (OK, it really wasn’t a secret since they were usually packed previously) is now THE place to be. Being Wendy and my favorite place to dine, we were excited to help Steve and Cheri promote their new location through a recent photoshoot. No need to drool, just stop in or call them at 541.312.2899…don’t forget the prime rib on Friday by the way.

Commercial Photography for Gusto, Bend Oregon's Food and Wine Magazine
In the last month I was able to begin working with Gusto Magazine and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Gusto changed their focus, with this new issue, to incorporate more of what Bend has to offer but still keep the contemporary fresh look their known for. During one shoot, I was able to photograph a daughter and mother at Spa W. in Bend, while they were being prepped for a pedicure. It was cramped in that little area, and I nearly fell in the ladies laps a few times while moving around but they were all great to work with, including owner Rebecca. When I was through the tech’s were able to finish the task at hand and I spent my remaining time at the spa shooting some local skin products.
My other shoot for the spring issue was at the Italian restaurant Guiseppe’s and their back bar (appropriately named) Goomba’s. Owner Peggy and her crew were super nice and receptive to my being there and this made for an enjoyable evening. It’s a real change to go from shooting weddings where the action doesn’t stop coming until the end of the night to photographing food. There’s a different kind of creativity in shooting food when the photographer has complete control over what’s in the frame. More importantly though, the actual colors of food can really be striking to a viewer when everything is taken into account. Enjoy and salivate-
