A couple years ago I decided to do a personal project on something I try to cultivate in my life: Mischief. Often while traveling, a rooftop with a view presents itself. Or maybe it's a body of water after dancing in the hot night air. There's something I crave about breaking the rules, misbehaving and doing what I want like a personal, clandestine act of freedom. I feel alive playing by my rules- without hurting anyone else of course.<br />
<br />
I considered creating images that represented mischief in general, but decided to make it personal (since it already was) and recreate three mischief stories from my life. I wanted the images to be pieces of the story that when seen together made it clear.<br />
<br />
Each story had it's own challenges. The original pot brownie story was me accidentally eating a pot brownie at a friend's house while waiting for them to come home, but that wasn't going to be easy to tell visually. There was also the concern of it looking like someone was being dosed- not the intention! With the skinny dipping story it was more technical. I needed a way to light a dark dock and make it look natural. Building a lamppost out of a 4x4, clamp light and generator was the ticket. In the final story, it took me months to find a location. I wanted an old, classic fire escape and a rooftop with a view of downtown- not an easy find when you have to ask for permission ;). Finally a friend of a friend had the perfect spot!<br />

<br />
After they were all shot and I had 5-6 final images for each story, I had to figure out the best way to print and present them. A collage, a linear booklet? I enlisted Joe Smith (<a href="http://lookatjoe.com/">http://lookatjoe.com/</a>) to bring in professional design and we brainstormed over lots of coffee. Joe wanted to go big- newspaper print with a large layout of all the images. I liked the idea, but know the creatives I'm promoting to are more likely to keep a smaller piece. That's how we came up with a small card that folded out into a bigger piece: as you unfolded it, the story unfolded as well. <br />
<br />
Making that work was another story. Joe and I sat down with printouts and scissors and after a while I was convinced it was impossible. But an hour later we had it!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">We also decided to write recipes for mischief for each story. A pinch of spontaneity, a dash of chemistry etc. It was fun coming up with an ingredient that matched each shot and produced a reward. The reward, be it an unforgettable memory or the feeling of being alive, is why we all create mischief in the first place. Joe then created the layout and the type for the recipes and I got 'em printed. </span></div>

A lot of love went into trimming, cutting, folding and labeling the cards and I'm very grateful to all who helped! Here's a video of the final folded product. And the three stories can be seen on my website: <a href="http://www.tegrastonenuess.com/Mischief/1">here</a>. Now get out there and start creating mischief!

As you probably know, I decided to start creating a fun holiday card with my cat Goose 5 years ago. I wanted it to reflect my personality and activities I like to do as well as be funny and show some photography and photoshop skill. Here are past cards:<br />

This year was a bit different as injuries prevented me from doing a lot of the activities I enjoy. Goose also has arthritis in one of his paws. :( So I reflected our year accurately, showing the many frustrations 2017 brought with it:</div>

Mostly I cleaned things up, put Trump on TV and added some contrast. Changing the wall color was a last second idea that I think really made the photo. I'm most proud of googling the monitoring machines and 'turning them on'. I even gave myself high blood pressure and a high heart rate. Then I had to add Goose. Here's his original shot and then him cut out and hissing:</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #706c6c; font-family: "georgia" , "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Last summer I was on assignment for Stern Magazine, photographing a 5 day trek in the Corsican Mountains... with my left arm in a brace healing from an elbow dislocation. The first day our German guide Yanni took one look at me and said, 'Nein, I can't take you, it's too dangerous'. Stephan Maus, the writer, encouraged me to prove him wrong and that's what I did. With one good arm, I hiked to the highest peak and documented an incredible adventure. I healed my elbow in cold spring water, got proposed to by an 80 year old sheep herder and made friends with a wonderful group of people. The writing and photography was so loved by Stern that they turned the usual 3 page travel slot into a 7 page feature! I'm very happy with how it came out and want to thank my photo editor Angelika Hala, Stephan Maus and eventually Yanni for believing in me! </span></span></div>

on. But the calling for my father Mike, our friend Noel and myself to go see
for ourselves and hopefully contribute was greater. We carried donated

anxiety lifted and the only feeling I had was excitement. ‘Welcome home!’ said
the greeter at the gate. We drove slowly down Flag Road into camp and were met
with smiles and waves. We set up our camp in the first winter blizzard and
began to wander. We soon came upon a truck rolling to a stop. A woman emerged
into the roaring snow, raised her arms to the sky and began whooping in obvious
joy. She grinned at us as we approached. “I’m back!” she sang into the wind.
Noel gave her a congratulatory hug and we celebrated the return of the Colville

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: 16.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Hailing from Colorado, Moondrop is a
quiet, young woman who is quick to smile and give you a hug. In her calm,
peaceful voice, she told me the story of the women-led, silent action on the
police-blockaded bridge on Sunday November 27<sup>th</sup>, seven<sup> </sup>days
after <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Bad Sunday</i>. When she arrived at
the Oceti Sakowin Camp, she felt that many women shared her desire for a
women’s group. Having been a part of many women-focused circles before, she
helped call a meeting together of about 40 women, which grew to a daily
gathering. They created a safe place for women to share their stories, their
challenges and to discuss the goal of a women-led action to cross the Missouri
River. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: 16.0pt;">Led by Cheryl Angel, Lyla June and Starhawk, three
powerful and unitive indigenous leaders, the group gathered on the morning of
the 27<sup>th</sup> to prepare their bodies and minds. Moondrop said the sweat
lodge that morning cleared their spirits as they cried and released, providing
room for strength and prayer. Then 100 or so women and men trained on how to
remain silent and signal to each other. Starhawk taught them to stay grounded
in their center and to do so by imagining what they stand for here. Moondrop
was amazed at how completely unmovable they became when they stood for what
they believe in. They drilled on their formation to protect the indigenous
leaders as they performed their ceremonies. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: 16.0pt;">Then it was time, and the women silently formed into
a steam that would pass through the camps and onto the bridge. Moondrop said, “it
was so powerful to feel the men so willing to step back and support us and
stand behind us.” People silently joined them as they walked through both Rosebud
and Oceti camps and the stream of women became a river. They met resistance
from the council of young men who weren’t aware of what was happening, but
Cheryl Angel had approval from the grandma elder, and ‘the feminine walked
forth’, continuing. Another dam of male veterans resisted the woman again at
the bridge, but they looked them silently in the eyes and conveyed that it was
time to let the women lead, to trust them. LaDonna, the woman who started
Standing Rock’s opposition to DAPL, joined at this time and Moondrop knew they
were now unstoppable. The veterans acquiesced and helped by asking the Army
Corps if the women could come to the front and do a ceremony. With thousands of
people behind them in total silence, the elder women walked across the bridge
through the former war zone, through broken glass, shells, dried blood and
teargas-soaked clothing; to the edge of the razor wire where they knelt. They
offered forgiveness, wept for the atrocities, wept for their ancestors, prayed
for the hearts of the police, and begged for their compassion. “It was the most
beautiful moment of my life to witness these women being so vulnerable in the
face of armed guards with guns and tanks on the other side of a razor wire
fence and to witness them so open and humble and weak, but so strong in their
vulnerability. “It was like a radiative, thick blanket of peace washing over
everything,” Moondrop recounted. A police officer offered to safely guide the
elders down to the river to perform a water ceremony. It was the first time
anyone had been allowed on the other side of the river. Afterwards, the supporting
men back on the hill parted for the returning river of women who silently lead
everyone back to camp. Moondrop felt like it was the rise of a matriarchy and
the rise of women finding their voice and their power to create a peaceful
outcome here. She could feel everyone’s thankfulness as they reentered camp. As
she finished her story, I was struck by how much sense it makes to enact change
in this peaceful, compassionate and feminine way. When fear is released, walls
can come down and understanding can take place. I myself am extremely thankful
to these women for leading the charge. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Kitchen, creating delicious, healthy food for the camp. Her tribe, the Bishop
Paiute, along with the Lone Pine Paiute Tribe and the Big Pine Tribe (all from
Owens Valley near Bishop, CA) collaborated to set up one of several communal
kitchens. Her original kitchen tent grew to three large military tents
comprised of a dinning tent, a storage tent lined with shelves stacked high
with donated food and a cooking tent full of volunteers prepping every meal.
Diane loves to cook, and when back home she often cooks dinner for her large
family. She also caters tribal community events, serving 500-700 people. So
this is a perfect fit. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: 16.0pt;">When I asked her why she came to Standing Rock, she
said there were two main reasons. The first is that they have been fighting
their own water battle with Los Angeles for years. The 1939 land exchange took
60,000 acres away from her tribe, taking all their water with it. The tribes
filed a lawsuit against LA in 1998 that still hasn’t been resolved. “Our tribe
is known as the water protectors. So when the cry went out, we knew we had to
come.” She hopes this will bring light to other tribes’ battles for land and
water around the country. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: 16.0pt;">The second reason is that her heart was pulling her
here. She has 15 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren and she wants them to
have a future with clean water to drink. When she was about 9 or 10 years old her
grandfather told her that there would be a cause that would bring all the
native peoples together, as well as the rest of the world, and we would have to
fight for something very important. As soon as she arrived at Standing Rock she
felt his whole spirit and knew he’d brought her here. She said, “I’m doing this
for my grandchildren and my future.” Thank you so much, Grandma. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-size: 16.0pt;">Sylvia is a white woman who came to stand in
solidarity with her indigenous sisters and brothers at Standing Rock, to help protect
Mother Earth. She was arrested and caged inside a chain linked ‘dog kennel’
with several other women. Her terror grew as she sat on the cold ground
thinking about what would come: degrading searches, trumped up felony charges, the
expensive logistics of long-distance court appearances. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

scared and she could see it. ‘<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">You have to
go somewhere inside yourself,</i>’ the woman said. Then she began to sing.” Sylvia
did not understand the words of the woman’s native song but she felt it begin
to soothe her. She felt all the women quietly, soothingly <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">with</i> her. She began to feel at ease. Everyone seemed to relax and feel
at ease. And then, just as the last note of the song faded, a loud voice
erupted from the speaker system, summoning her by name. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-size: 16.0pt;">On the night of November 28<sup>th</sup>, just as
the three-day blizzard started to hit, Wanda’s son had one of his bad seizures.
He fell outside the community center. Friends found him and hurried to protect
him from the 30 mile-an-hour gusts. The ambulance finally arrived and took him
to Sanford Hospital in Bismarck. Wanda followed in her car for a harrowing 3
hour, a trip that normally takes 45 min in normal weather on 1806. But the 1806
closure forced her to take the longer Highway 24-to-Highway 6 route in a
blizzard, at night with icy roads. “It was scary, but I had to get up there to
be with my son.” Whether or not it was deliberate, the roads weren’t plowed
until she got close to Bismarck. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

the closure makes it hard for the people who live here. She was also concerned

son is now back home and doing well, but Wanda hopes the road will open soon,
for everyone’s safety. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

for the water protectors here. This third time he pulled a canoe down the
Missouri with a Puyallup Canoe Family, together with The Colville Tribes, the
Coeur d’Alene Tribe and others as far away as Alaska. Their group of about 40
people pulled past the Sacred Stones—rocks ground round and polished by a
whirlpool that lies at the confluence of the Cannon Ball and Missouri Rivers.
At one point they were forced ashore in a massive, life-threatening (</span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/heartofstandingrock/photos/a.1898249183736435.1073741828.1897666263794727/1901482253413128/?type=3"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">See

finally arrived at Standing Rock, a long chain of canoes and dug outs roped together
end-to-end, where their group was received by song. But, laughed Raymond, their
greeters had to be told the custom was to receive <i>each</i> vessel with a
welcoming song. And then everyone laughed and several welcoming songs were sung

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Perhaps Robert F Kennedy
was right when he recently came here and said that this peaceful convergence at
Standing Rock “is kinda the </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDf8tkmWOek"><span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 16.0pt;">spear tip of the
front line</span></a><span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 16.0pt;"> in the battle over the transition
from an old energy economy to a new energy economy. And we know that we have to
do that…. Today wind and solar are much cheaper…. so the only way the carbon
cronies can keep their domination of the marketplace is by constructing a lot
of infrastructure, so that …the people who invested…the Citibanks, the pension
funds…now have to see oil going through that pipeline for years…long after any
justification for oil is long gone.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-size: 16.0pt;">The water
protectors of Standing Rock know how foolish that locked-in investment would
be, how grievously it would harm not only water but also all of the exquisitely
interdependent ecological processes of Mother Earth. They know a clean,
sustainable and abundant future for all is possible, quickly available, and so urgently
necessary. May the spear tip shine brightly and swiftly pierce all our hearts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

So it's been about a year since I've posted, because well, I thought blogs were a thing of the past. Who knows if anyone reads this anymore. However, recently I realized I miss writing about my gigs and adventures, and it's a nice log to look back on. So, it's been a great year of shooting what I love: travel and adventure!<br />
<br />
Lets start with a job from this summer- a big travel story on Seattle for Buick Magazine. For a few days I ran around town capturing new and interesting things as well as iconic favorites. It was fun getting to work with writer Ted Alvarez on what we think makes Seattle cool. One of the most unique things, and fun things to shoot, was SUP Yoga in the Puget Sound. A new hotel and a top new chef and restaurant were also really fun to photograph. I feel a lot more up to date on the hip spots in my city! Check out the article below (I did not shoot the car images).<br />

In the whirlwind of the summer, I did a big job for Booking.com. If you book a stay in Seattle on their website they'll send you a <a href="https://secure.booking.com/explorer.en.html?ufi=20144883&source=test&token=g8zCD6j9wQBzF%2BA2VGJzzSxK8Pk;b_site_all_experiments=1">Seattle Travel guide</a> comprised of all of my images. I spent 6 days crossing my favorite city, capturing all the different neighborhoods and attractions. It was exhausting, but super fun and it helped that I know this city so well.<br />

Back in May I got a great assignment shooting for Walmart World Magazine. They were doing an employee profile and wanted me to go out and photograph one of their employees who climbs mountains on his days off. So I set off to Granite Mountain to hike to the top with Farzad Ahmadi. I soon realized why this man is so special. Greeting everyone on the trail with a huge grin, Farzad's good nature poured out of him. He offered to carry my gear, fed me a delicious lunch including special cookies from his home country of Iran and patiently followed my slow pace up the 4 mile 3800 foot gain to the granite boulder topped peak. He regaled me with stories of climbing Mt Rainier, Mt Shasta and more and he gladly posed for many photos along the way. After I caught my breath at the top, I had a moment of really realizing how lucky I am to do what I do. Here I was combining my love of the outdoors with photography AND getting paid for it. I get to go to new, beautiful places and meet wonderful people. But enough bragging, here are my favorite shots including the feature photo that went to print.<br />

Last month I was hired to photograph for American Express at the US Open in Tacoma, Washington. It was pretty exciting to be on the course during the game and feel the energy of the event. For four days I received rock star treatment as I was golf carted to the AmEx tent across the course, where I photographed the amenities provided to their members. It was fun to work with the Momentum Worldwide event team and meet everyone that came through. Unfortunately I wasn't allowed to photograph any players, but I did get to meet and photograph The Shark (aka Greg Norman)! Here are some of my favorite shots from the week.<br />

Last weekend we spent a night in Vancouver, a city that I've always liked, but strangely haven't gotten to know very well considering it's so close to Seattle. Three hours away is this beautiful, huge, metropolitan city- in another country! It's almost like we're in Europe with another country just next door (I wish). We stayed in the West End of downtown with a wonderful view of the shiny buildings, the sound and the mountains. The view from our 21st story balcony gave me much photographic inspiration...<br />

Last Sunday I finally made it to <a href="http://www.mamnoonrestaurant.com/#menu">Mamnoon</a>, a new beautiful restaurant on Capitol Hill that serves up modern Middle Eastern cuisine. We lucked out on happy hour and sat outside in the sun. The No 1. sxse cocktail was right up my alley with bourbon, coffee liqueur and cardamon bitters, a cocktail version of turkish coffee. And during happy hour it comes with your choice of a sweet or savory snack plate. We sampled both, the sweet having three beautiful little bites with amazing flavors like pistachio, date, apricot, almond and something floral I couldn't my finger on and the savory was beautifully plated with pickled vegetables, spicy, herbed roasted nuts and a tiny pita filled with thick yogurt and cucumber that reminded me of a better take on an English tea sandwich. We decided to also try the Shamndar bi tahini which is grated beets, yogurt, garlic and tahini. The color was incredible and the taste was refreshing and creamy. I can't wait to go back for dinner.<br />

Last week my friend Claire helped me out with a personal project. More on the project later, but it involved hauling a bed down to Hiawatha Studio and Claire getting cozy. It was great to be a studio that had everything I needed -even a fog machine! We were shooting away and then while in between shots, trying to figure out what was next, I looked down and saw this. Claire hugging herself, looking stunning and real. I just love the mask-free honest feeling it gives me. Not to mention how beautiful she is. </div>

This week I wanted to shoot a plated dish using contrasty lighting and props to create a very rich image. Jean-Pierre Chery created and styled this delicious dish of herbed pork ribs with red chard and rustic mashed potatoes. I love the specular highlights on the meat and the bright rich colors.<br />

This week I went to The Walrus & The Carpenter, one of Seattle's long standing best restaurants. I popped in for happy hour, taking advantage of the half off oysters. Beautiful, fresh and all from Washington and BC, the oysters were piled high in wire baskets covered in ice. The clean marble table and beautiful afternoon light made it an easy shoot. I ordered a 1/2 dozen oysters, the 'one night in salem' cocktail and the citrus salad. The herbaceous and sweet flavor of the cocktail went really well with the oysters and the grapefruit and fennel in the salad complemented each other perfectly. If only I could have tried everything on the menu... <div>

I'm challenging myself to take a new food shot each week. Whether it's in my kitchen, studio, a restaurant or on the street, that's my goal. Here's the first one. I decided on the theme of winter fruits and veggies procured from the Ballard Farmers Market. My old light table gave me the idea for the cross cuts. I love that the chalk dust ended up looking like snow on the dark board.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This weekend I had a really fun shoot with Jessica Laughlin. She needed professional headshots and lifestyle images of herself for her new website that is geared around healthy living, lifestyle and beauty. She wanted Seattle to be a prominent backdrop and for the images to be creative and fun while still being professional. We decided to go to Pike Place Market and since it was a Saturday it was very crowded! I absolutely loved shooting amidst the hustle and bustle using our beautiful city as my studio. Jessica was very photogenic and easy going and made my job easy. Shooting documentary style action shots is my favorite and we got some really natural, fun images for her site. Check it out- it'll be up and running in a few weeks! <a href="http://www.jessica-laughlin.com/" style="color: #1155cc; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" target="_blank">www.jessica-laughlin.com</a> </div>

The second part of my trip to Hawaii was surfing in Waikiki on Oahu. I've tried surfing a few times before, but was finally going to have a few days to learn from my uncle, a former Oahu local. It wasn't easy, but living the surfing life of getting out every day was pretty great...<br />

I recently did my first climbing in Index, WA. The rock is so tall and beautiful and it was great to do some multi-pitches. It was a hot day in the sun and the best part was eating an apple on a ledge 90 feet up in the shade looking out at the incredible view. Thanks for leading Jean-Pierre! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Very excited that I got to squeeze in a day of rock climbing in Vantage, Washington this past weekend. Jean-Pierre and I headed to the Columbia River Gorge to explore the Frenchman Coulee and it's amazing basalt cliffs. I've been coming to this area for years, but this time the beauty of the landscape really struck me. Valleys dug during the ice age, waterfalls cascading over the basalt columns, dry sage brush and bright green lichen make this place feel like the set of <i>Lord of the Rings. </i>Especially since the approach down to Sunshine Wall weaves through a narrow secret passage amongst the columns. I kept wondering who first discovered it and how exciting that must have been.</div>

The 9th portrait in my series 'I travel for...' is Tyler Lucas and his love of traveling in his VW Vanagon on the open road. He loves hoping in the van on the spur of the moment with his dog Babe and traveling in comfort. With the freedom of the open road, pulling over when he's tired or in a beautiful spot, Tyler discovers places he wouldn't normally without the van. </div>

When I asked Claire McDonald what her favorite part of traveling was she told me it was challenging herself to try exotic and bizarre foods and tastes. For her it was part of immersing herself in the local culture and experiencing new flavors. This portrait captures her trying sea urchin for the first time. Now she can check that off the list! </div>

Last week I wanted to get out of the city and explore a little. So I headed north on the train to Beacon, NY. Beacon is a small town about 60 miles up the Hudson River and is known for it's art scene. It's home to <a href="http://www.diaart.org/sites/main/beacon">Dia Beacon</a>, a monstrous and beautiful modern art museum that used to be a Nabisco box printing factory. So I rented a Canon 16-35mm lens to check out and caught the Metro North train from Grand Central. </div>

After the museum I wondered the town. People were friendly and although it was chilly, it was nice and sunny out. Cute cafés, vintage clothing shops and funky art galleries line Main street. </div>

As the sun lowered in the sky I caught the train back to the city. I didn't quite get my fill of nature and fresh air, but Beacon did quench the thirst for art and exploration.<br />

This is my favorite shot from the day. Oh and the 16-35mm is a great lens, but since I mostly shot at 24 I think it's too wide for me.<br />

The 7th portrait in my 'I travel for' series where I ask people why they travel the globe is Sandy Jeglum. Whether Sandy plans a trip to a new mountain she's been wanting to explore or watches the storms and follows the fresh powpow, she's seeing the world from it's snowcapped peaks. </div>
