Where Our Electricity Comes From

Daniel Payne — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 18:53:31 +0000

I’ve lived in Oregon for 17 years now and never visited the Bonneville Dam where our electricity comes from, so this past weekend I visited on a sunny Saturday with weather in the 80′s. I’ll share some of my photos that document the journey and also a few artsy ones thrown in for good measure, enjoy.

Welcome to Tilly’s

As a member of the Tualatin Chamber of Commerce I was asked to take some candid photos of the newest store to open in town called Tilly’s. Despite the rainfall we had at least 100 people waiting in line for the grand opening on Saturday, which should tell you something about how popular this clothing store is at Nyberg Woods.

Mustaches were handed out to set the fun mood, and we all had a good time.

Do You Have That Portrait from 2009?

Daniel Payne — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 04:18:22 +0000

I received an email request tonight from Linda Moholt, Executive Director at the Tualatin Chamber asking for her corporate portrait from 2009. At first I looked at the folder names in my Outlook program on the computer but couldn’t find it. Maybe when I moved from Outlook on Windows over to Outlook on Mac I had misplaced her email folder. Hmmm.

Next I asked Linda and she thought the portrait was taken in May 2009, so I searched both my Outlook folders, Mac folders, and finally my archive DVDs. Nothing for the Chamber in May 2009.

Finally I did some searching for the keyword “Chamber” and found a folder from January 2009. When I cycled from the office back to my home in Tualatin I looked in my stack of archived photo DVDs and sure enough, January 2009 had all the portraits from our corporate session some three years ago.

Lessons learned: label my Outlook and Mac folders better so that I can find them quicker.

The Tualatin Chamber is growing membership during a tough economy thanks to the diligent efforts of our Board, CEO and enthusiastic member community.

Standing Up for Life

Daniel Payne — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 01:05:32 +0000

As a father of six precious children I have come to the conclusion that human life begins at conception and therefore should be protected from harm. Today we had the annual Roe v. Wade Rally for Life in Portland, Oregon with support from our local community, churches and Christian believers. Live music got us into a thankful mood, then we heard inspiring speeches from an Archbishop, speeches from pro-life workers, sang patriotic songs, then finished with a peaceful march from Pioneer Courthouse Square to the waterfront.

Patriotism for our Veterans

I support the heroism, bravery and freedom of liberty that embodies our veterans today. A few years ago I discovered that the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) had a group in Tualatin just for people like me that wanted a way to show patriotism. We started up the Men’s Auxiliary for the VFW in Tualatin and have been helping meet the needs of veterans in our community. The Men’s Auxiliary is open to men who have a parent, step-parent, grandparent, son, daughter or sibling that served in a foreign war. My father served in both World War II and the Korean Conflict.

On Friday we met at the VFW building to host the Tualatin Chamber of Commerce where a check for $13,239.24 was presented in memory of Cpl. Matthew Lembket to the Foundation for Tigard Tualatin Schools. This money is a scholarship for Tualatin High School students, and the funds came from the annual Regatte Run.

Our local VFW contributed $250 to this fund and are proud to support such a good cause.

Children are a Blessing

I’m a parent of six children and know that children are a blessing from God. Today we saw five families dedicate their children to raise them in a Godly home as Christian believers. Enjoy the photos, taken at Rolling Hills Community Church in Tualatin, Oregon.

I met and photographed Matthew this week just in time for the deadline at Tualatin High School. We choose the studio for this portrait and I enjoyed getting to know Matthew and his mother.
