Tony Halford Photography

Our featured member this week, in fact our first ever on the blog is Tony Halford who is a professional photographer. I am very excited to feature Tony because I have known him for several years now and have enjoyed his photographs at a number of public displays around the Portland area. He has also punished me up a number of hills on the West side as well.

Tony began taking photographs over 20 years ago whith a small project taking promotional pictures of Oregon's Governor Barbara Roberts. In 1993 a travel bug bit off more than it could chew as Tony backpacked around the globe capturing images in Australia, Asia, Europe, Africa and North America. Besides portraits, sporting events and business projects he photographs weddings now, well, he's good at it. In an upcoming trip to Europe he'll be searching for under publicized events to record, in his continuing effort to give us a truer comprehension of the cultural diversity of our planet.

Tony's work has been featured in a number of Umpqua Bank locations as well as at Portland's well know First Thursday in the Pearl. Publishers have used his photographs in travel books, news articles, magazines and websites including Velonews (click on the link for a gallery of Tony's work with Velo).

Come out to the ride this Friday and meet Tony. He will be joining us at the NW Lucky Lab starting at 3 PM. The ride will be conversation paced to help build relationships and should be done around 4:30 PM. Hope to see you there, who knows soon enough you will be featured on here as well.
