The Journey

Sometimes it doesn't matter where you are heading,...just to be moving forward is enough.

Close To Home

My son and I made a last minute dash down to Picnic Point after he decided he would rather go to the beach and see sunset than watch a storm chasing video together (both pretty good options in my mind anyway). Who should come strolling across the beach and join us at the last minute but Michael Riffle, a local photographer I know. The sunset never exploded but clouds in the sky were cool and it was great talking to Michael and trading ideas about locations in the area.

Flowing Water

Cape Meares

When we were living in Portland, one of favorite photo strategies was to try to catch sunset as a storm was clearing. I would watch the radar all day and if the trailing cold front was approaching offshore, I would hop in the car and make a dash for the coast. The front and I would usually meet with a heavy downpour somewhere over the Coast Range and the driving would get dicey but the results were often worth the effort.

Infinite Curiosity

Approach each and every day with the infinite curiosity of a child.

Afternoon At Rialto Beach

A Pretty Awesome Day

What do 3 recesses at school, swimming at the YMCA, standing on a bridge and feeling the wind as the trains roar past beneath, a pretty nice sunset over the Puget Sound, and a evening treat at Dairy Queen add up to?

A pretty awesome day if you ask my son.
