Portrait of a Western writer

Last week, the good people at the Oregon Business Magazine sent me on an assignment into the foothills of the Ochoco Mountains, near Prineville. I was to do a portrait of Rick Steber, celebrated writer of Western novels and recent recipient of the "Best Western Novel" award for his new book Buy The Chief a Cadillac.

I ended up hanging out in his cabin for three hours. He read to me out of a couple of his books, told me about the time when his dog Strider got attacked by coyotes, and talked about all the interesting people and stories he comes across while travelling the West. It was utterly fascinating, and I was having a real cowgirl moment.

Of course, I did take his picture too:

A Match Made In ... An 80s Disco Heaven

My sister and her boyfriend have been dating and living together for nearly 20 years. Two and a half weeks ago, they finally made it legal, official, "till' death do us part".

Of course I was assigned to the task of being their wedding photographer. That I would have to fly half-way around the world for that was a just one of those things you gladly do for the happiness of your family.

The ceremony was beautiful, the dinner was delicious, and of course my sister looked absolutely gorgeous and radiant. So here are a couple of pics for the curious (more to come in the near future):
