Claude Mahmood – Photographer
Claude knew when he saw his first digital cameras back in 1988-89 that digital photos would replace film. Claude has been studying and developing his photography skills since 1992. He has also been working with Adobe Photoshop since 1998. Since then Claude has been dedicated and focused on working with digital photography and using Photoshop as his darkroom.
Claude graduated from Jefferson County Open School. He then started college, but after one and half years of college he opted to join the US Marine Corps and focused his skills as Intel Analyst. Claude completed his four years of honorable & distinguished service and moved to WA state and got his BA, with a focus in Ecological Agriculture, at The Evergreen State College. Since then Claude has been an eco-friendly, organic & regenerative farmer while continuing to work part time (and occasionally full time) as a graphic designer, website developer, and always doing photography and expanding his skills as an Artistic Photographer.

The Meaning of SORD
Origin of Sord:
First recorded in 1425–50; late Middle English sourde; origin uncertain; perhaps from Middle English so(u)rden “to arise, originate, come (from), soar up (of a hawk),” from Old French so(u)rdre, from Latin surgere “to rise, get up” – Dictionary.com
The term “Sord” has several meaning for Claude. It originated back in 2003 with a video game where Claude selected Sord as his character’s surname. Over the years his friends began to call him Sord. It is also a reflection of who he is as a person because he has always enjoyed helping people rise up and become better. When he resumed roller skating after many years, Sord took on an additional meaning as the acronym “SorD,” stands for “Skate or Die.” As a dedicated roller skater, this further resonated with Claude. Now he felt the word Sord would be a good name to represent his business.
