Amy & Rod - June 2010

Amy and Rod were married at the Schnitzer Art Museum on the UO campus just last week. The details were rich and the venue provided some wonderful backgrounds for a sincerely touching event. Congratulations to Amy & Rod!

Jesse - Then & Now

Whenever I have work in Portland we stay with our friends the Vella's. I snapped the picture of Jack & Jesse (right) just a few weeks ago. By coincidence, I discovered it was very similar to a picture of Jesse and his oldest son Lawson that I took six years prior.

Sports Photography

Recent events have me reinvestigating my roots as a Photojournalist and Sports Photographer. The image above are the "top 15" sports shots taken during my years at the Oregon Daily Emerald. To see more, visit: http://erikbishoff.smugmug.com/Sports/fifteen

Sleepy Baby Girl

Noemi has become a fierce opponent to sleep recently, waking around 3:30am and keeping us up for an hour or more every night. I recall Hollander going through a similar phase when he was around seven months old but he tended to go back to sleep after a quick nurse and some cuddling? On the whole, Noemi does sleep better than her big brother did but her early morning adventures are just as brutal. Anyway... I captured this shot with my Canon 5D Mark II. It is amazing what this camera can do in low light. This was taken at 3200 ISO to the light of a 40 watt bulb under a lamp shade about 4 feet away from Noemi's crib. The grain is MUCH less noticeable in color but I really like the moodiness of this pic in greyscale. We love you Noem! (now go to sleep)

Heidi & Alan @ Animoto.com

Playing with some new promotional "doo-dads" for the photo biz... animoto is a lot of fun but the render time is a bit disappointing. I assume they have a faster render time for the professional users. I'll have to look into that...

University of Oregon Campus Tour

A handful of shots by Erik Bishoff Photography recently made an appearance on the University of Oregon Virtual Tour website. The featured photos were taken during my years as a Photo Editor for the Oregon Daily Emerald and while doing some freelance work for the Admissions Department a number of years later. The UO has a huge cache of stock art to choose from so it was a nice surprise to find myself among the selected images.

Oliver & Theo

Toby and Brent were interested in getting some pictures of their youngest, Oliver, in time for the holiday. We spent a freezing-cold afternoon in downtown Eugene before the family got too wind chapped. Oliver, who was working on his first teeth at the time, was a good sport... to say the least!
