Vin du Lac

My son Ryan, his wife Amber and my two grandsons, Nicholas and Nathan, are here this week enjoying a respite from their busy work schedules in Bellingham. Yesterday we visited Beebe Springs Interpretive Center along the Columbia River and, since they are wine lovers, we also went to Vin du Lac for a wine tasting. It was a fun day for all.

Senior Portraits

Wow... I can't believe it has been almost a year since I posted to this blog. Had an opportunity to shoot Taylor's senior pics the other day and was so pleased I thought I would throw one up here to share. Enjoy.

Updating new website

I have been updating my photoshelter website. Take a look. It is at http://www.richarduhlhorn.photoshelter.com/.

AFTERS Photography

Dustin Shannon, Johanna Oscarson, Victoria Wright and Emanuel Rivera posed for a photograph during my photography class I teach for the AFTERS program at Chelan Middle School.

I have been teaching this class for five years and I learn as much as the students learn







One of the lessons is to take self portraits. Victoria Wright and Johanna Oscarson used my Point and Shoot G2 to take this photo of themselves. The students also learn how to take scenics, wildlife, action and conceptual photos along with basic Photoshop methods.

Recipe Book

It's been awhile since I posted, but I'm working on an exciting new recipe book with a young author in Chelan. The book will have recipes from the area and will include excellent wine pairings.

This image was taken at Local Myth as kind of a whimsical shot of Art's Greek salad with Myth Sticks and a glass of wine.

This image is of a Duck dish prepared by Chef Pam Ahl of Amy's Manor. Talk about delicisious.

A New Start

It's been an awfully long time since I have posted to this blog, but am going to start again. I am setting up a new webpage at photoshelter.com which will carry a lot of my stock photography in galleries. This photography includes images I have shot over the years. The first gallery is called Adventure Sports and has a number of images taken in an around North Central Washington.

Spring is here and all is well

These four seniors have been planning on a Friends photo shoot since basketball season and the weather finally got good enough for them to get together with their respective college sweatshirts on for the portrait session. What fun. Enjoy the images.

The sun has set on 2008... Let 2009 begin!

Well, 2008 is history now. It wasn't a bad year, but 2009 brings more hope for the future than we have had in the past eight years.

To the left is my cross-country skiing and mountain biking buddy, Carmen. This photo was taken on December 27 at the Echo Ridge Nordic Ski Area located seven miles out of Chelan, Wasington. The sun was low in the sky, turning the snow a beautiful pinkish color. It was a beautiful way to finish off our first xc ski excursion of the winter.

Here's hoping for a very prosperous New Year for everyone.
