Seabeck marina construction
I made this photograph a few days ago down at Seabeck on the Hood Canal and then today, when passing through the village, noticed that the large barge and utility boat were gone - another phase of marina construction completed. The marina access pier is now in place and the rest will be constructed during the next window of opportunity when the ( Read more... ) -
Hoodoo
Hoodoo, our Lhasa apso, was the smallest puppy in his litter and his mother picked him up and broght him to us. That was over thirteen years ago. We wanted a small dog as a companion who we could travel with - he was larger than his parents by six months... The Lhasa apso acts like a puppy for a long time but Hoodoo continued his puppyhood his ( Read more... ) -
Perspective Distortion Correction
An interesting although not simple explaination of Perspective Distortion on Wikipedia.
Simplifying, I'll just say that any time the parallel lines in a subject appear as converging lines instead, this is Perspective Distortion. It happens in photography when the plane of the film or sensor is not parallel to the lines in the image capture.
Here's ( Read more... ) -

Hugh and Senta Parker, photographers from Sonoma, California set up a website, Zazagallery.com, originally to promote their own artwork, but because they were set up and had the ability to print more than they personally needed, ( Read more... ) -

I made this capture with the Pentax 4MP point-n-shoot digital camera I was using at the time along with my film camera systems. I am so far behind in film scanning that I haven't ( Read more... ) -
a jail I visited
Almota Docks JAIL along the Snake River©2010 Ed Book
I was traveling along some back roads in southeastern Washington state and came across this building labeled "JAIL". I had stopped to photograph the overflowing wheat elevators along the Snake River and included this building in my captures that day.

Douglas Fir visits with the half moon
I'm often surprised to find the moon in some of my compositions. Serendipity or poor recollection of where the moon is at all times... (like right now, I have to look up to see the glow of the moon on the wall across the room. It's a glow in the dark moon pinned to the wall yet, I often am caught off guard catching its light out the corner of my ( Read more... ) -
water lily in our pondlet (muck bucket)
A few years ago when I started the pond, digging a big hole and piling the dirt up along with boulders to make a hill for a waterfall, I bought some pond plants and planted them in a couple muck buckets to wait till the real pond happened. This lily persisted and prevailed after all the others either quit or were eaten by something that pulled ( Read more... )
