LUCAS ALBERG

Lucas Alberg is a native Kansan who ventured west after college in pursuit of outdoor adventure in the mountains. Finding his happy place, he soon combined his creative pursuits with his new home. Lucas currently works for a Bend-based outdoor company, has published two books, released two albums and spends the bulk of his free time traipsing through the woods with his wife and two kids. In this issue, Lucas tracked down a handful of Bend entrepreneurs to learn the secrets and challenges behind their successes (pg. 94).

TAMBI LANE

An entrepreneur at heart, Tambi has run a portrait photography business since 2006. She loves collaborating with, and supporting, other local artists. Currently, she is focused on food and beverage photography. Her work has been published in Sunset magazine, and she has taken photographs for two nationally published celebrity cookbooks. When she’s not cooking, eating or photographing food, you can find her in the garden, doing something outdoors or creating something new and fun. In this issue, she photographed our story on fresh hop beers (pg. 84). See tambilane.com and allthingsfoodbend.com.

GRACE PULVER

Originally from New Zealand, Grace Pulver moved to the USA eighteen years ago and has been a professional full-time photographer since 2012. She calls the quaint town of Sisters, Oregon home and loves shooting in Central Oregon because the scenery is amazing! Grace has a wonderfully supportive husband and two spunky kiddos who enjoy going on shoots with her. She loves to travel and has had the pleasure of photographing wedding couples in nearly every state and several different countries. In this issue, Grace photographed the historic Vandevert Ranch (pg. 57). See gracepulver.com.

V. ESTELLE ROGERS

V. Estelle Rogers is a freelance travel writer living in the heart of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. She is passionate about slow travel, three-hour dinners, pulling wine corks and she's never met a Caprese salad she didn’t like. As a social golfer carrying a much-too-high handicap, Estelle tends to send mixed messages to her opponents with her crushing drives. She is happy to report she parred two holes at Tokatee, the golf course she wrote about in this issue (pg. 39). See vestelletravel.com.

MARVIN WALDER

An aspiring filmmaker and photographer based in Bend, Marvin Walder discovered a passion for creating things with a camera in high school, and has spent the past four years undergoing a variety of internships with local companies, freelance work and independent projects. Having just recently graduated from COCC, Marvin plans to continue his education by pursuing a digital cinema degree from Southern Oregon University, along with a minor in business. In this issue, Marvin photographed cocktails at San Simón and Five Peaks Woodworks (pgs. 114 and 121). See marvinwalder.myportfolio.com.
