Born in Pomona, California, Gene Rocha moved north to Oregon as he finished off his teen years, ultimately trading sunny beaches for moody winters. Originally drawn to the film for its ability to portray motion and develop stories, he studied film making in Portland briefly when he realized the singular still image was the real draw. With an early interest in the food industry, Gene began what became a 10 year career as a baker. During those early morning and late night bike rides to the bakery, he would often watch the sun rise and set, bearing witness to the beautiful changing light. It was that attention to light and mood, punctuated by color but grounded by simplicity that would come to define Rocha’s style in many of his images today.
Moving to Seattle to pursue his photographic education, Rocha found the northwest to be inspiring not only for its quality of light but for the versatility of the images he was able to capture there.
Oreo is a sneaky little dog. I was picking veggies from the garden and i came inside to see if the wife was home from the "store" yet she was not. And here comes this dog licking her chops what's up little dog? She is always hungry i think maybe she smells food on me. so i gave her a bean. No problem i have 40 plants she can have all the beans she wants just not my carrots. Last year she was in the garden pull carrots out and having a feast. They were bigger then her but she ate them.
