I'm a staff photographer and writer for the www.wilsonvillespokesman.com and others in the Pamplin Media Group in the Portland metro area, as well as a freelancer. On Flick you'll find my photojournalism work in its many varieties, as well as my landscape photography, which is my real love these days. Fortunately, I live in one of the most beautiful places on the planet at the edge of the Columbia River Gorge. Hiking allows me to keep my sanity within a reasonable range, and by taking my Nikon with me I get to bring back images of spots people come from all over the planet to shoot. I love it here!

I also keep up my photo blog at www.hicksonimages.wordpress.com
