Tonight we had some friends over for a dinner party. I won’t go into the details of the menu, suffice it to say, the food was great and the wine was fantastic. The theme was pretty broad – Italy. Brunello, Barolo, Super Tuscan, Chianti, Carignano, Nebbiolo from Roero, a Petite …
Spent a few hours tonight preparing three rabbits for a 12 hour marinade for a dinner party tomorrow night. I took some shots of the bunnies mid-butcher, but wasn’t very happy with them. I really want to somehow capture raw meat without it looking like a CSI episode. I did …
Not much to say. It’s Seattle. It’s November. It’s raining. Follow @mikerussellfoto
After wandering around the house for a while, and resisting just taking photos of the cats, I ended up with this shot. I kinda like how it’s somewhat an optical illusion. Is it the corner of a cube? Or is it something else? Don’t get me wrong, I have no …

Just a quick post this time. I needed to take a little break from preparing for my upcoming photo exhibit in October. (If you’re in Seattle, go RSVP!) I captured this image on our Thumb Butte hike, near Prescott, AZ. I manipulated very little during post production. The branch and …
I went out shooting last Sunday to find one more photo for my upcoming exhibit. Unfortunately, after driving all around town, I didn’t have much luck finding it. Feeling a bit defeated, I decided to head to Golden Gardens in Ballard and just take in the beautiful sunset. It wasn’t …
