Washington Palouse

Like the photography I've done in the Snoqualmie Valley, what I came back with from my recent trip to the Palouse feels to me like it's more about me trying to figure out what the place is about than a matter of photographing something I already understand.

Snoqualmie Watershed

wa·ter·shed: wo-ter-shed (noun)

1. a geographical region draining into a river or river system

2. a critical moment that marks a division, a turning point.

Pacific Coast

Last summer I returned to some of my favorite places on the Olympic peninsula (and some new-to-me places, too) and rediscovered my love for this area.  Each day, low tide reveals a different landscape, filled with new, wonderful patterns.

The images in this series were all made on a short (25 meter) stretch of the Snoqualmie river.  It's a place with a wonderful sense of solitude - a place that is often overlooked by the visitors in their headlong rush to get to the viewing platform where they can look at the falls.  At dusk or in twilight, there's a wonderfully serene quality that draws me back over and over again. 

Interchange

For years I've driven past interchanges and admired the soaring curves.  To my eye there's a wonderful 'form follows function' aesthetic to highway interchanges, particularly aerial ones.
