Ain’t to party like a Hempfest party! Hempfest wouldn’t be complete without DOPE Magazine‘s epic afterparty.
This year’s event took place on a rooftop terrace in Belltown. I typically mingle at these events, however took a break during golden hour to photograph the beautiful Kitty Kitty Bang Bang. Her unique vintage dress and headscarf caught my attention. I knew this would be an impulse editorial.
These boots are made of blazing, and that’s just what they’ll do. One of these days these vintage boots are gonna blaze all over you.
Fauxy Furr Vintage recently finished construction on their new bootique. This renovated trailer is a vintage haven on wheels. Chrysta and Jill, the brains behind Fauxy Furr, pulled out all the stops. Shelves for boots, racks for coats and of course a giant mirror to scope yourself out.
It’s one of Washington state’s most iconic skylines. Some say it looks like an indian laying on his back. So today we’re smoking out Mount Si.
Nicole, Yunks and I met at BelMar in Bellevue, before hitting I-90 east. We scouted a couple locations in North Bend in hunt of the perfect view. I wanted open fields with visibility of Mount Si.
It's one of Washington's most popular trails. Atop the rocky ridge is a white lookout tower. A large boulder makes the perfect place to smoke while the sun sets. We're high on life hiking Mount Pilchuck Trail.
Amy, Cam and I trekked this gem on a warm summer day. Before hitting the trail, we met at Safeway. We scored on snacks because Mount Pilchuck Trail is a beast. In the parking lot, Cam realized he forgot his dab rig. I needed one, so purchased a mini piece to fit in my pack.
This weekend’s hike is one of my favorites thus far. It didn’t feel like Washington, but instead a lush, tropical paradise. Large rocks, fallen trees and a mossy waterfall split in two look even better when you’re blazed at Boulder River.
Andrea and I started our hike bright and early. Early arrival meant fewer people and soft light. We loaded our backpacks with swimsuits, hot shorts and sunnies. It’s a relatively easy hike, so no worries about wearing off makeup.
What an evening at the 2015 DOPE Industry Awards! Industry peers voted me the 2015 Photographer of the Year and Western Cultured won Best Producer.
The DOPE Industry Awards took place at the Showbox SODO. i502 producers, processors and retailers wore their red carpet best for this special night. DOPE left lots of swag for attendees and live music enhanced the already impeccable ambiance. Kitty Kitty Bang Bang hosted the show (loved her green dress!) and the Cannabus came to dish out dabs.
It’s the final countdown and I’m celebrating with a Western Cultured Christmas! Whether you’ve been naughty or nice, light up your season with craft flower.
Attending an ugly sweater party or have a ganja loving grandpa? Western Cultured flower, wax and pre-rolls make great gifts for family and friends (although I’d be wary giving it to your boss).
This Thanksgiving marks my first working in i502. Enjoy my photos from last weekend's Friendsgiving hosted by the lovely Zach and Nicole Brennan, as I reflect on everything I'm grateful for.
While most people recover after Independence Day, I hit the trail to hike Lake Blanca. This blue beauty has been on my bucket list and nothing, not even a patriotic hangover, could hold me back.
I arrived at the trailhead around 9 AM and temperatures already topped the 80's. The 3300-foot incline felt like forever. Sweat dripped into my eyes. I pushed onward, encouraged others and eventually made trail friends with some equally hungover hikers.
