The Hottel family during a warm autumn sunset in Winlock, Washington — surrounded by glowing maple leaves and golden light. Captured on my property, along the country road near my home, and at the little bridge just down the road.
Photographed with my Nikon Z5 and Z6II using a mix of lenses: Z 85mm f/1.2, Z 35mm f/1.2, and Z 135mm f/1.8 Plena. Each lens brought its own unique look — from the creamy depth and stunning bokeh of the Plena, to the intimacy and detail of the 85mm.
This session perfectly captures everything I love about fall family photography in the Pacific Northwest — vibrant color, connection, and the golden light that only lasts a few fleeting weeks each year.

"The Holidays are Here (and We're Still at War)"
Pilgrims in the parking lot
Arteries clogged with blood clots
Pushing through the aisles of department stores
Neon crosses and Christmas lights
Credit card debts and brand new bikes
The holidays are here and we're still at war
The rabbi reads from the testament
The banker gazes at the year's investments
Salvation santa's solicit for the poor
Deception of democracy
The philanderings of faux foreign policy
The holidays are here and we're still at war
Smoggy skies and fixed elections
Injustice strikes from all directions
People with their backs against the floor
Looking for someone to set us free
A king with fists like Mohammad Ali
The holidays are here and we're still at war
A mother knows what is best for you
Even though it's hard to listen
Your father knows he can count on you
Though you couldn't count on him
Christopher Columbus knew
Vasco De Gama and Magellan too
The profits of oppression grow like never before
All hail to the captalist thief
And mourn your lost ones and covet our grief
The holidays are here and we're still at war
Hurricane waters ravage southern towns
And black and brown people are left to drown
While the White House and the emergency management agency ignores
Victims seek shelter in the Astrodome
And the National Guard says "Don't go home"
The holidays are here and we're still at war
Police officers hassle the homeless
Domestic disputes, alcohol and violence
The jailhouse opens wide its door
A corporation cuts a million employees
And the factory is moving overseas
The holidays are here and we're still at war
A mother knows what is best for you
Even though it's hard to listen
Your father knows he can count on you
Though you couldn't count on him
Jesus sheds another tear
Into a sea of two thousand years
Into the eve of a new year once more
Tears of joy, resolutions of sorrow
Toast to health and wealth tomorrow
The holidays are here and we're still at war
Religious wars and domination
World trade and globalization
The prices of petroleum soar
Lonesome churches are packed with sinners
Non-believers and new beginners
The holidays are here and we're still at war
Say a prayer for the less fortunate
Prisoners and soldiers you never have met
Understand what it is they're fighting for
Say a prayer for your enemies
Say a prayer for the victims and their families
The holidays are here and we're still at war
Yes, the holidays are here and we're still at war

Senator Cantwell visited the LCC campus to talk to a group of students about their education and career goals.
LCC welding instructor David Pittsley and welding student Mark Speranza, together designed a 10-foot-tall metal sculpture for display in downtown Longview in partnership with the Longview Outdoor Gallery.
David and Mark worked together to install the art sculpture, titled "Building America."
A ceremony was held on February 23, in front of a gathering of LCC staff and faculty, community members, city leaders along with friends and family of the welders.
The sculpture is located near the corner of Commerce and Vandercook and will be on display for one year.
