Picnic Point

Another image of the sunset over the Puget Sound on Sunday evening. Thank goodness it was summer since I had to stand in a couple of feet of water to get this composition :)

Intuition

I scored some nice light over the Puget Sound with fellow photographer Keith Morgan. I can never explain it but there are days when I just know it's going to be good. Maybe it's experience, maybe it's intuition, or maybe it's just plain luck. Regardless, I've learned over the years to pay attention to that feeling. More often than not it leads me to something pretty awesome !

In The Forest

In a hurried effort to reach the flower-filled meadows and scenic vistas of Mount Rainier, most visitors drive through the lowlands with barely a passing glance. It's a shame since a ten minute walk from the road can place you in complete silence and solitude among the giants. Next time take a moment to breathe in the fragrance of the Cedars. Stare up to into the canopy of the forest and wonder how anything can live for nearly a thousand years. Close your eyes and feel the damp lushness of life on your skin. There will still be time to join the hoards of visitors in the parking lots further up the mountain...but perhaps you will want stay.

Denny Creek

Should you take your boots off and get your feet wet for the right composition? Remember...it only hurts til your feet go numb.
