Wanna Journal About The Naked Bike Ride?

My good pal & painter Janiece Aufranc took this sweet photo of a new bike journal now being sold at Ecru Modern Stationers @ 1215 NW 11th Avenue Portland, OR 97209
(503) 227-2611
This magical store carries and designs the most amazing paper goods in Portland.
I buy every card I need from LeAnn Dolan, the store's proprietor.
She and Janiece create "show stopping" party invitations and much much more. Currently there a few snarky cards that have made my day on more than one occasion! You have to stop by and meet them and understand why I visit as often as I can. You can even get custom stationary and call in your re-order! Now that is customer service! Being a non-profit social media photographer has opened a lot of doors lately. I look forward to offering my services to cover events for worthwile causes and the media outlets they want to reach via social media.
Being a self proclaimed"Social Media Photographer" is a profession that I may have just invented? Look for my work this summer at the Bite of Oregon. I will be shooting food created by the best chef's in Oregon to benefit the Special Olympics.

Naked Bike Ride Photographer Jodieve Was Honored


I was honored to be the ONLY trusted citizen in Portland to enter the gates of the Naked Bike Ride on June 18, 2011 to photograph participants getting ready for the ride. Being named the Naked Bike Ride's only official Media photographer was such a huge honor. Of all the events I have photographed, I am most proud of the work I did for this one.

I offered people the opportunity to have their portraits taken with their own cameras or mine.
People were so completely open and comfortable with themselves.

I will be ever in debt to Jane Roberts@ JaneRobertsArt.com. She was my trusty assistant and did a great job in helping people understand the consent forms and helped folks understand their rights.

The most hysterical part of the ride was when riders cheered as we revealed ourselves as supporters! Organizers do not know what they will do with the photos I took, and that is OK.
Not every photo needs to be shared. Some can be for the pure enjoyment of posing in the moment and seeing how it turns out. Please "Freind" Jodieve.com on Facebook to see what's happening next.
