The odometer ticks up and my hands are tight on the wheel. NPR is filling my idle mind with the steady, patient cadence that only seems to appeal to people of a certain age and sensibility. There are three NPR stations available on the satellite radio, I switch from one to the . . . → Read More: Getting away. Hwy 20 From Seattle to Spokane.
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 miss the plains. I miss the deserted dusty roads, the huge skies, the small boring towns. I miss watching the crops get larger as spring slides into summer, and then watching them get collected by large, impressive machines in the fall. I miss watching the spring storms boil and rage across the . . . → Read More: A long way from home. 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.

I didn’t get back to Denver until 1am. The storm cells were powerful and fast, you . . . → Read More: 2009 Favorite Images – selection number two I had three great opportunities to shoot while in Seattle for an xmas party. The weather was cold and clear, with dramatic skies each night. This is the first batch of edits, I like them best. [nggallery id=27] The idea of me rating my own photos and then explaining why they are great seems a little silly. This is an exercise in shameless self indulgence, and I feel fine. The list of top shots will probably be less about the photos than it is about the experience of getting them.

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.
