<h4>
Climbing in the high desert of Oregon. </h4>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
My air conditioning has been broken for about three years. So, about a month ago I took my Subaru in for a tune-up. I looked at the mechanic, and stated that although no one in Seattle actually needs A/C, I would be heading out on a few climbing trips to the desert. I pleaded kindly that the unit be in perfect shape. The cold air never came, but we embarked on our trip with windows down and giddy enthusiasm for a place that would leave us utterly twitterpated with welded tuff and basalt. <br />
<br />
<br />
Many thanks to Phong Duong and Arie Voorman who set the routes, to Kara McKay for her awesome attitude and Charlie for sloppy kisses. <br />

Snoqualmie<br />
<br />
For the first time I decided not to bring my DSLR with on a hiking trip. It was more or less a decision about weight. Did I want to pack a 24-70 L series lens up to Mailbox? No, not really. So, I took along my smart phone and decided to do a post with B&W Instagram photos. Simple and square, a new way of viewing the area. I tried to take only a few frames of each image to practice good composition and light selection. Luckily, the weather produced some beautiful clouds to work with the gradation from black to white. <br />
<br />
This quick day project was a good exercise in using what I had to make some beautiful images. Did I miss my DSLR? Yes, for two reasons: the variability with focus and exposure control were both difficult to work with. All in all, a pretty wonderful day. <br />

Movember<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.payscale.com/">PayScale</a>, the company I work for, participates each year in <a href="http://us.movember.com/mospace/5054337">Movember</a>. This year the team is the <a href="http://us.movember.com/team/500581">PayStachios</a>. <br />
<br />
Each member of the team is fundraising for the fight against testicular cancer. As they raise funds, they grow a mustache during the month of November. These are the before pictures. The photos were taken in our lunch area against the PayScale red wall with beautiful Seattle rainy day side lighting. No portrait studio setup needed. <br />
<br />
If you are interested in donating, you can view the team here: http://us.movember.com/team/500581<br />

The camping permit was for the Colchuck Lake zone. He invited me to join his party. We seven made our way up to Colchuck and spent the day hiking, jumping in the lake and taking photographs. We hiked out early the next day as a forest fire had picked up on a nearby ridge and was moving in the direction of our parked cars. The smoke created some interesting and beautiful light during our overnight trip. <br />

The hike was leisurely to begin and increased in grade for a nearly 4000 foot elevation gain in seven miles. The hike started in lush hemlock forest with huckleberry bushes and Devil's Club and transitioned to large cedars and eventually to meadows of wildflowers near the lake. The meteor shower was spectacular. All around the lake you could hear other campers cheering as the sky was scratched with quick white blazes. <br />

<br />
Nearly two years have passed since I left guiding. At times, I feel like I have a difficult time translating that life into my current day to day in Seattle. In an attempt to infuse the confidence and passion for life I had as a guide, I took an impromptu solo paddling trip to the San Juan Islands. It wasn't remote, it wasn't Alaska, but I was able to once again time my day with the tides, my meals when I was hungry, my clothing to the weather and my sleep when I was tired. I disconnected from my six or so forms of social media and listened to the birds, the sound of harbor porpoise breathing and the flow of turning breeze. Simple pleasures. <br />
<br />
Take time in life to do the things you love for they build the character of your identity, or, at least they should. <br />

I asked him if we could meet up for coffee and if I could take his photo with my Rolleiflex. <br />

I give you Charlie Parr. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">While attending Winona State University, I would go to see Charlie play at Ed's No Name Bar. His music reminds me of home and I still try to catch him live every time I can. If you ever get the chance to sit down with him and chat over a cup of coffee, I highly recommend it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I hadn't planned on going to the festival but was incredibly happy to end my summer on such a wonderful note. I only shot three rolls of film, two color and one black & white. The rest of the time I spent soaking in the incredible music and people. Here are a few shots of young people enjoying life. I hope to make it back this year. If you are able to get a ticket, I would absolutely recommend going. If nothing else, the slip 'n slide was worth the trip. <br />
<br />
I will be adding a few additional photos to a facebook album later this week - diversifying my social media. <br />

<br />
My friend Matthew recently lent me his film scanner to help me digitize my ever-growing film library. I will be posting examples of my work as I get them scanned and edited. All shots were made with my Rolleiflex on expired film (circa 1996-2001) donated to me by friends and mentors. The results are unique and unexpected.<br />
<br />
Below are a few photographs taken on a drive from Grand Junction to Telluride, CO in September of 2011. I was on my way to attend and volunteer with the 2011 Telluride Photo Festival. The festival was incredible and I was excited to have the opportunity to spend a day capturing a bit of my roadside journey. Also, it happened to be my 27th birthday. I highly recommend celebrating your birthday with an adventure visiting strangers in a beautiful location. <br />

I had a new camera, a <span class="techtitle">1938 Rolleiflex Automat 6x6</span>, and was looking to start shooting portraits. I asked, he agreed and four and a half months later I stopped by their house to shoot six rolls of black & white Kodak Tri-X pan film ISO 320, expiration date 1996.<br />
<br />
<br />
The day was overcast and it was around 6:30 - 7pm. We shot in natural light using their house and shack as backdrops. The portraits were shot at f-3.5 and 1/50 hand held. I over-processed the negatives by two minutes to bring out more tone and grain. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q9tkZxm45Wg/Tj2Ad1yVp2I/AAAAAAAABIc/J1E5GmSslcw/s1600/20110714-Group1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q9tkZxm45Wg/Tj2Ad1yVp2I/AAAAAAAABIc/J1E5GmSslcw/s640/20110714-Group1.jpg" width="625" /></a></div>Group shot original scan. Bryan and I discussed the overall look of the final prints. He was looking for something with a bit of contrast and grain. To work within time constraints I scanned the film and worked with digital files. I tried to keep the post production in Lightroom true to what I could have achieved in a darkroom using filters, dodging and burning. I intentionally kept some of the dust on the negatives to reflect the feeling and mood of their vinyl album which includes pops and crackles in the background of their songs.<br />

It was liberating to travel without a car for a couple days. I wanted to share a few views from the road. <br />

</div><br />
One of my favorite things about Seattle is the music community. I am lucky enough to live only a few blocks away from some incredibly talented musicians. On Thursday they hosted a house show. I decided to invite myself over, cobbler and camera in hand.<br />
<br />
The performers played acoustic sets with original music. The space was perfect, complete with a bow, antlers, a shelf of Nat Geo magazines and instruments in every corner. The most amazing part of the night was getting to experience the music in its whole. The attendees (friends, artists, musicians) were listening so intently to this intimate experience you could hear a pin drop, or a shutter close in my case. I tried to take as few frames as I could to preserve the quiet reverie while still managing to get enough photos to share with you. I may be posting two video clips in a few days. <br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">I recently had the opportunity to work with <a href="http://notheftdom.com/">No Theft</a> of <a href="http://legrandcru.us/">Le Grand Cru</a> on a film project. Le Grand Cru has partnered with local Seattle and other emerging musicians to create a compilation album to raise money for the relief efforts in Japan. The album is digital to allow the proceeds to go directly to the cause and not be filtered through production costs of physical merchandise. <a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_60861349">Release date: May 3, 2011 on bandcamp.</a><a href="http://legrandcru.bandcamp.com/"> </a> </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Tommy approached me a couple weeks ago to discuss the idea of an interview promotion for the album. One sunny day in Seattle, we shot the film at his house. The promotion piece combines an interview about the compilation as well as clips of No Theft creating the album artwork and speaking on the inspiration behind it. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div>Patrick Toney<br />
Living Statue . Street Performer<br />
<br />
Patrick is an incredible person and was gracious enough to allow me to follow him around for a day. He is a street performer working as a weathered statue in Seattle, WA. He can be found outside of the West Lake Center and around town during events. In addition to his performance work, Patrick is also a talented artist, musician and an all around nice guy. You can find out more about his music at www.garagevoice.com<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">My background in photography is photojournalism. Since I haven’t found a newspaper to call my own, I have tried different venues of photography over the past three years with little luck. I have wanted to get back into creating stories with my images, shooting for content with a deeper meaning and not just for visual appeal. I have also wanted to invest time in long-term documentary stories. I’ve never been much of a writer so I decided to start working on a series of short multimedia pieces for the year of 2011 - a character series. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I’ve paired still images with audio and some film clips to create the following video. It is the first multimedia piece I have ever attempted and in the process I have learned a lot and realized just how much more I need to learn. I am excited to start sharing these stories with you. I hope to create at least ten similar pieces. Please feel free to like, share, tweet the project if you enjoy what you see. Feedback is also welcome; let me know what you think. Thank you. I appreciate you taking to view my work. </div>Kaylyn Messerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00712751860282826781noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5388810216260933810.post-28114548329331617722011-04-10T10:20:00.000-07:002011-04-10T10:26:30.745-07:00Characters<style>

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Anyone who knows me well knows that I have incredible friends in many walks of life. I like characters and have been lucky throughout my life to meet some fascinating people. I have always said that the most interesting people are those you meet every day. If you take the time to talk to a stranger and talk about something other than the weather, you are bound to hear a few remarkable stories and experiences. It is amazing the different paths we take and what experiences result in those choices. I have decided to try and document a few of these characters over the next year. These multimedia pieces will simply be snapshots in the everyday lives of people who have let me be a witness their stories. I only hope to do them justice and provide a platform for others to appreciate the uniqueness and beautiful quirks and personalities of others. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Memories. <br />

I shot these images by flipping my lens backwards and holding it up to the camera body. This method turned my 24-70mm into an extreme macro with a very shallow depth of field. I used a slower shutter speed to allow the blossoms to blur slightly in the wind. Kaylyn Messerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00712751860282826781noreply@blogger.com3
