White Bread, Seattle, WA

I've become pretty good at making one certain type of dough over the last couple of months. The dough has good elasticity and texture and can pretty much be used for anything, so after acquiring a bread pan from a friend, I decided to try my hand at a sandwich loaf. It was a lesson in patience as I'm still pretty sure that I didn't wait long enough before baking, but its pretty good nonetheless. My love and passion for eating tasty food is (luckily) shared with Jamie, so in the end she is supportive of all of my efforts in the kitchen. Here is my first loaf hot out of the oven, with a salami sandwich lurking in its future.

Paul and Suzannah, How to Cook a Wolf, Seattle, WA

After finishing up a wine making internship in the Napa Valley, my cousin Paul and his girlfriend Suzannah stopped up here before taking a road trip across our great country. Inspired by the recent Ken Burns project on the National Park System, these two will head to the southwest and then over to New Orleans on their way to New York, stopping at a multitude of parks along the way. To say that Jamie and I are jealous of their trip would be an understatement. Our fathers and their small group of friends have done their best to instill a sense of respect for the natural world in us since we were children, and I think all of us have in some way taken those lessons and made them our own.
I digress. Their visit was too short all together. We made up skits, made some bread, ate some fantastic food, and hit up a few great places to take photos all over the city. This image comes from one of Seattle's finest small plate dining experiences (thanks Uncle Barry!), How to Cook a Wolf. These two are destined for great things. Safe travels!

Teen Welding Class for the Pratt Fine Art Center, Seattle, WA

Taught by Vance Wolfe, these guys get the chance to build whatever they want. The projects here consisted of a go kart frame and a catapult. A little ambitious, but what do you expect from a couple of high schoolers. I could only get in there for an hour or so on the last day of class...here are a couple of frames I like.

Washington DC's Modes of Transport

My apologies for the posting lag. I've been shooting all kinds of good stuff and entertaining visitors, keeping me from updating this wonderful page. I'll get you caught up soon.
For now, here are a couple of images from Washington DC.
