Black Days – Homeless in Medford, OR Series #3.

Black Days – Homeless in Medford, OR Series #3.

Yesterday, I had a chance to talk and photograph some amazing people. Survivors. These people have a past, an unfortunate present and with hope, empathy and help an optimistic future.

Aaron – A photograph makes a difference.

Aaron – A photograph makes a difference.

I had the chance to take Aaron’s photo in September 2018. A couple weeks later I mailed prints to the church in hopes that everyone I shot would get one. This is how a photograph made a difference. Aaron received his and was instantly moved by it. He returned home to show his mom the print. His mother was stunned to see Aaron again and  that someone would want to take his photo in the first place. Through this reconnection, because of a print, Aaron is now off the streets (and back on his medication!).

Medford, OR
February 10, 2019
5pm – Free Admission

If you are in the Medford Area, stop by and enjoy some amazing live Jazz and my photography show. I am showcasing my series Black Days at the The First Presbyterian Church of Medford. The show will be launched at the Jazz Vespers event and run for a month (or until sold out). The proceeds go directly to The Bridge. The Bridge offers a long- term housing solution for the homeless. Medford is a small Southern Oregon town with large city problems, not unlike most towns and cities in the United States. This series of portraits were shot in Medford, OR over several months in 2018.
The series also has a personal connection. My younger brother was homeless and on the street. The story does not end well.

~Country Wedding~ Cloverdale Chapel, Creswell, Oregon.

~Country Wedding~

Camille and Casey’s Country Wedding

Cloverdale, OR

Wedding Photography – Russell Chandler and Assunta Napoleone

Every time I drive by the Creswell exit on I-5, I think of Camille and Casey’s country wedding. Yesterday was no exception. A very small wedding with family and friends, set in pastoral Creswell, OR. The ceremony was at the Cloverdale Chapel and the reception in the old schoolhouse. A wonderful place for a wedding, filled with history and rustic rural charm. I’m sure that Camille cringes when these reappear, but there were some great moments. Like many marriages: those happy beginnings have a story that ends.

Caitlin and Sam

Wedding Photography

Smith Rocks State Park – Bend, OR

Photographer – Russell Chandler

This wedding was a blast and there were more than a few memorable moments including: thick wildfire smoke, Yogoman Burning Band, Donuts, and the infamous Newlywed Kegstand. The next day we headed out to Smith Rocks State Park for quick photos of the Bride and Groom (suture strips and all!). Since we all have climbed there – it was a special place.

This time of year is all about wedding planning and I don’t attend wedding shows. I have been shooting weddings since 1993, and still love doing it. There is something magical about a bride and groom’s passion and happiness while celebrating with family and friends.
