Interlaken

A foggy morning in Interlaken Park makes me happy…took a bunch of shots, with various settings in Hipstamatic, trying to capture the mystery and majesty of the mood. This was my favorite, and judging by the comments I got on … Continue reading →

A View From Samish Island

Taken on Samish Island, looking out to Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands. Samish “Island” is actually a peninsula, but it used to be separate from the mainland, before they filled in some low lying areas around it. It’s quite remote, quiet … Continue reading →

Leading the Way

LaConner, a small tourist town and artists’ enclave in Skagit County, is a favorite destination of mine. I’m attracted to the town’s history, the landscape of wide open spaces, the galleries and boutiques that are housed in historic buildings on … Continue reading →

Double Vision

Often my layered work is immediately recognizable as that, with outlandish colors, juxtapositions, etc. This one is more subtle. Two suns? Double exposure? How’d she do that? I resisted the urge to take this one further, because as is, it was … Continue reading →

Self Portrait with Hood

I’m wearing a fabric and fake fur stand alone hood. It’s a favorite of mine for cold weather, but it’s not great in the rain, so around here I don’t actually get a lot of chances to wear it!

Dada Dreams

I really love this one…something about the face reminded me of a di Vinci portrait, re-purposed into something modern. One of my framed photos makes an appearance, too, as it’s hanging next to the mirror in my bathroom.

Finding the Right Light

Sometimes, as I’m driving in my car, I’ll see a sight so fantastically beautiful that I exclaim out loud, “ohhhh, look at that light!” And yes, it’s always some amazing light: the sun setting or rising, or perhaps not yet … Continue reading →

Gemini Rising

Yep, there she is again…always popping up in my photos.

Noir

Even on the busiest of weeks, I continue to do my “self-portrait saturday”. There are times it feels like I’ve done it all before, then other times, like with this one, I do something very similar, but find a new … Continue reading →

Fall Colors

For “Self-portrait Saturday” this week I used some of the photos I’ve been taking of the fantastic fall colors. The trees are insanely beautiful this year, especially this one spot we drive home past every day. When it’s clear, the … Continue reading →

The Crossing

From the same day as “Stoplight Wonder, one of said rare “drive by shootings”. (Hey, the camera app was already open, all I did was balance it on the steering wheel and click a few times.)

Stoplight Wonder

In a couple of other posts I’ve written about the ship canal bridge and seeing some amazing light this time of year. (See Fall Colors and Finding the Right Light) It’s not ideal, but I have photographed this scene numerous … Continue reading →
