Owen’s Beach, Rushton Point, Tacoma, WA

I was struck by the lush green mossy branches and the cooler green ferns. It took me many attemps to parse a composition out of the complexity, and I’m not sure I really succeeded, but I think it gives the impression I was after.

Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, CA

I went on a business trip to San Francisco last year, and took a personal day to go walk around with a Sputnik. I haven’t developed the images from Chinatown yet, so I’m eager to see how those turned out.

Mount Rainier Pool, WA

This was taken during the excursion to Mt. Rainier during the 2022 3D Con in Tacoma. It was inspiring to be able to shoot in the same place where I’ve seen so many wonderful folio submissions, in particular Don’s. It was also a delight to be able to visit and photograph alongside Bob. Not to mention the many outstanding slides Bob brought to share on the bus ride. What a great day!

Douglas Park Lily, SK

I was hiking back to my car after a day of photographing the sand dunes at Douglas Park. The sun had nearly set and the light was fading, when I came across a handful of Western Red Lilies, which is Saskatchewan’s provincial flower in the undergrowth. The fiery colour was striking against the undergrowth. It was one of the rare times in Saskatchewan when there was hardly a breath of wind. I think this was a 10 second exposure. Evidently, there was a breath of wind, as observed in the white flowers, but I think it still came out OK, and I’m glad I had a roll of Velvia to capture the vibrant colours.
