When it’s rainy and dark in Seattle, it is nice to work through my photo library and re-edit old shots, or discover great shots that somehow made it past first inspection. Time and distance has put a new perspective on my collection of shots from the Plains of Colorado. As I . . . → Read More: Black and white landscapes
I spent a gloomy, rainy, Saturday afternoon taking photos at the old Northern State Hospital ranch near Sedro-Woolley, Washington. There are several abandoned buildings dotting the huge plot of land. The gray tone of the day was perfect for the creepy vibe of the old structures, and the steady . . . → Read More: A creepy place on a gray day. I won’t spend any time detailing where, how, or when. To me, these are some of the best shots I have ever taken. [imagebrowser id=30] [singlepic id=729 w=320 h=240 float=center] Sunday was a fantastic day for shooting. The weather was beautiful and I was anxious to get some good shots. I went shooting Friday, but it was one of those days where absolutely nothing was in sync. No new locations, boring sky, and very little motivation meant a long . . . → Read More: Road Trip – Dec 20 shortest day of the year. Stucco Shack, Eastern Colorado This is one a shot from one of my first trips to the plains, taken on Hwy 385 near Cheyenne Wells, Colorado.

Saturday was very cold, very windy, and very brown. We deposited Eva at the grandparents house, and headed north. After a brief lunch stop in Ft. Collins, we continued north on HWY 287 towards Wyoming. Aside from a . . . → Read More: Road Trip: December 5 – Laramie and Brush Highway 59 There were days this summer where a 12 hour day of driving would yield zero great locations. Yesterday was a different story. The section of Hwy 59 between US 36 and HWY 34 in eastern Colorado was rich with photographic opportunities. The first location was one of the best I have . . . → Read More: Road Trip: Nov 29 – Highway 59 Following Storms Watching a storm build from tiny popcorn clouds to an enormous rain maker is an amazing sight that can take hours and cover hundreds of miles. During the journey, you are likely to encounter small communities and other interesting stuff that would have remained a mystery to you, had the storm not . . . → Read More: Middle of Nowhere: 3/21.
