If you are in Portland this Saturday (October 7th) join us from 2-5pm at Mother Foucault’s Books for the Myrtlewood Cookbook release party! There will be snacks from the book and wine from Union Wine Company.
Just in time for autumn, the newest edition of our book, The Myrtlewood Cookbook, was released today by @sasquatchbooks. It is so exciting to see this book grow outside of Portland and reach a much bigger audience. Pick it up at your local bookstore or see our website for purchasing info.
This is one of my favorite photos of late. Just a 500th of a second, stolen from the life of these falls. It feels like time is speeding up these days and even moments that I want to hold on to pass too quickly. But trying to freeze time and capture these fleeting seconds is still a driving force for my photography that I cannot pull away from. I love that each time my shutter clicks I am able once again to push back against the tide of time. → Peter Schweitzer
Whenever I try to sit down and put into words how I feel about our life together or what it’s like to be with someone I love as deeply as Cricket, I understand again and again the total inadequacy of the English language. I would need a thousand different words for love just to embody these last 9 years together.
We took this Polaroid on our last day in Oslo, a little travel worn and definitely dreading the flight back home but for me it contains every moment that we spent together on our 6 week trip. Every sleepy morning in our cabin, every frigid evening watching the aurora and every step we took across the city.→ Peter Schweitzer
Every time the Portland heat becomes unbearable, which feels pretty often these days, I just pretend that I am back in this greenhouse in Copenhagen, walking the length of the palm house with Cricket by my side. → Peter Schweitzer

I love the cold blue tones of this film. I love the way they look side by side on my desk, I love capturing the stormy skies, and the fading sun and my twilight babe all shrouded in this same grey blue light. → Peter Schweitzer
My baby. Loving her has by far been the greatest joy of my life. There is nothing that can compare to waking up every morning next to Cricket, knowing that I get to have another day to spent by her side. → Peter Schweitzer
Scanning old polaroids and dreaming of evenings in my favorite city. → Peter Schweitzer
This man has been my father for over ten years now. I can still remember what it was like to walk into Cricket’s house and be met by such a kind and supportive person, how it felt to be treated with love and respect by a father for the first time. He has contributed so much to my view of what it means to be a good man and a good father. I would not be the person I am today without him. Happy Father’s Day.
