Colour beguiles you and can be a sly mistress that easily conceals or misleads. In the words of famed street photographer Daidō Moriyama, I find colour obscene. It carries such strong emotions and in most cases, does all the work for you. A black and white image, has to stand on its own merits and […]

The images included in this post are a continuation of the window shopping series I shared a few months ago. I was planning to share the color versions of the earlier series. But a few days ago I met a friend for a photo walk, and after we parted, I stopped in the Queen Anne […]

It’s probably fair to say that the last few months have been challenging for many of us. I don’t want to indulge in hyperbole about sacrifices, as being asked to stay at home and avoid contact with others didn’t seem much to give in the context of grand-parents who may have lived through wars and […]

I thought I would share some photos taken at the end of May one evening when the sun decided to break out after a stretch of grey skies. Rather than do my usual walk in my neighborhood I decided to go the near by town of Poulsbo, WA, which has a nice water front park […]

Looking back on my recent lockdown article, I realise now that it was really only half of what is evolving into a much bigger and for me, significant project. The images and textures in that post all demonstrate the evidence of man’s presence and the impact he has made. The images I posted were in […]

There are innumerable granite boulders strewn about my property, part of a five-million-year-old stream bed I have been told by a geologist neighbor of mine. I have photographed many of these moss- and lichen-covered boulders over the years. (They don’t move quickly, so even I can make a sharp image.) I have also photographed, at […]
