Zoolala

The Zoolala benefit for the Oregon Zoo was something else! People wandered around the zoo watching the animals (who got special treats to help keep them active in the evening), tasting wine and eating delicious treats from Portland's best restaurants while musicians, casino dealers, carnival games and acrobats provided entertainment. Wow!

Spring Winemaker Dinners

This was my fifth year to photograph winemaker dinners for the Classic Wines Auction. I truly enjoy checking out Portland's swanky restaurants and photographing the chefs in action.
