bringin’ it to the west coast (again)
most of you know that gregg and i are traveling to oregon at the end of july to shoot a wedding in bend. the wedding is on august 1st, and while gregg and his family are planning on traveling out the wednesday before (and leaving the wednesday after), i am making some different plans due to my wide open schedule of being unemployed. so here’s the scoop…
as of right now, my plan is to come out a week earlier, arriving in portland (around) july 22nd. i have not yet set a definitive date to return home. and here is why… i am looking to book as many clients in and around oregon as possible. other than august 1st and probably august 2nd (and probably the sunday before, whatever date that is), any date is available. i am going to wait to see what kind of demand there is for photo shoots, and then i’ll decide when i’m going to return home. i am planning on at least booking my flight out there within the next week, so it’d be great if i could start drumming up some interest now.
all that said, i’m making a couple asks here, other than obviously if you would like a photo shoot…
1.) due to the prius needing a ridiculous amount of work still to be done, i’m flying out this time. if anyone has any frequent flyer miles they don’t mind parting with… let’s talk ;-)
2.) i have no clue what i’m going to do about transportation once i get into oregon yet. if anyone has a lead on a car i can borrow, or can point me in the direction of a cheap rental car, i’d certainly appreciate it.
3.) uhm… LETS BOOK A SHOOT! depending on what i find to drive, i am going to make myself available to travel as much as possible to shoot in any location from seattle, washington to redding, california. of course, i’d love to meet people halfway, but if ya’ll paying… we can work something out! i will go where my schedule dicatates, but i’m sure i’ll be in portland and medford for most of my time out there.
so, leave a comment here if you can help or know of anything/anyone that could help, or want to inquire about booking a shoot. or you can of course email me direct at joshua@loveisgreaterthan.com. truly, any help is appreciated!
Portland. sigh.
Hopefully we will be able to connect when you're here :)
…was about to say, did you stop reading before the part about "i'll be in portland and medford most of my trip"? ;-)
there's no way in hades i'm coming all that way and not hanging w/ the hodgelodge for a day or two.
Ha! I know we will be connecting here.
CANT WAIT!
Priceline a rental car for $13 a day, or find some brothers to drive ya around…
Not sure how they work, how to get them to ya or if they will do ya any good, but I have about 20,000 dividend miles. If you can figure out how for me to get em to ya, you can have em.
Have you guys thought about shooting at southwyck?!
you mean what's left of it? haha.
actually, i literally just drove by it tonight and was thinking it could make a pretty rad location in the right light. they've got most of the internal areas fenced off, but i think it'd be manageable.
