Yes To Pink!

Why not! Another setting on my camera that just makes things a little different. Can make a seemingly simple picture much more fun!








Fancy Settings!!

I know that for you purist's this is horse**it, but I think this stuff is fun! Embrace your camera's crazy settings, and play with it on Photoshop! Never know what can happen to a rather simple picture when you crack a beer and play with the settings! These are Anguilla last November at the Yeager's wedding! Great times!!

The Future of Rock and Roll...

In 2009 I was in northern Thailand on a trek through the jungle and we would stay in small villages along the way. This particular trip was extremely humbling for me. I was constantly floored by the people I met along the way. In these small villages the people generally had very little, but they did an amazing job of making the most out of what they did have. Especially the children. I couldn't help but notice this little dude, the pictures of a his budding rock career quickly followed.

Always have that camera handy!!


I remember it like it was yesterday. At happy hour in Scottsdale with my mom and girlfriend. My back is to the sunset and they take on a look of almost astonishment. I'm at a loss, what is so great that my conversation with them isn't holding up. I turn around and this is what was laid out in front of me...

Sexy Black and White...

Maybe it's just me, but there is something insanely sexy about black and white photography. In a world that is bursting with color and visual stimulus, what a concept to peel it all away and get back to the bare bones. These photos were taken on a simple walk-a-bout in good old Seattle, Washington.

Busy, busy!

It seems that this time of year everybody is busy and working hard. And who can blame ya, that's what we're taught to do. I'm as guilty as the next guy for moving at a million miles an hour. "Keep your eye on the prize." "Keep your nose to the grindstone." But if you can find a free moment, it can be very interesting to see what happens if you break that cycle and become conscious to your surroundings. The photo below was on a day when I did that exact thing...

The Self Portrait

There is something to be said about the self portrait. Putting that camera on timer and letting the magic unfold hands free. Let's face it guys, we no longer live in the era of film. In the good old past, turning the camera on ones self was a risky endeavor. What if you end up with pictures of half heads or nothing but nose hairs and double chins. That was considered a waste of film. But today we live in the Digital age, the perfect excuse to turn ones camera on ones self. The good news, every once in a while you will get lucky...

Happy St. Patty's Day!!

As you prepare to head out for a day of green wobbly pops and some fancy Whiskey, I thought you all could pattern your day after the happiness in the faces below! These are photos of "A-Maze-Ing Laughter" in Morton Park, the West End, Vancouver, BC. The artist is Yue Minjun of China, and let me tell you, if you haven't seen it, you gotta check it out. Matter a fact, have a few wobbly pops and go give my friends a visit... Great Day to All!!!









The Unknown...

A recurring theme that my camera repeatedly captures. I love the image taking me down a road with an undefined ending. The possibilities are endless...



Paradise... City... and The Fire of Night...

The time is upon us for change! As life seems to be zooming by, I've decided to share one of my passions with the masses. "Stryker In Motion" is officially becoming an exploration of life through a lens as it unfolds around me... Enjoy!!
