Independence Day

Like many 4th of Julys in Seattle, it is cool and gray at the moment. But there is the promise of sun latter. A year ago this week I was in Ohio, visiting my mom. She had just got out of the hospital and was in rehab. It was a tough week. She wasn't doing very well, though we had…

Because it looks like Science

I have a field day in science labs. All kinds of beakers and test tubes and hand written notes and formulas on white boards and note pads. After the portrait session is over with the science guys, I get to make pretty pictures that say, important things happen here. Or not, maybe they are just pretty pictures. But they are…

Palouse

A beautiful region in eastern Washington of lush farmland. Isolated and overlooked, this landscape was formed millions of year ago by the Missoula floods. Barren and treeless, but in spots, ten feet of topsoil. Wheat and potatoes are big crops here, with most of MacDonald's french fries starting out life here. But a dream like landscape for photographers.

Let’s Make a Deal

We had this TV game show here once, called Let's Make Deal. A contestant was chosen from the audience to compete with contestants.They were usually dressed in a stupid way, holding some stupid thing, all screaming pick me, pick me. Once plucked from the masses, the host would ask for the stupid thing in exchange for what was on the…
