Purple Blossoms, Bellingham, 2010-01-18
I was surfing around looking at campsites tonight. Suggestions appreciated. If this February is a sign of what May will be like, I’m all for it. Consider how vivid these blossoms were in January. Any places you like to camp? Please share. This was a brief experiment tonight doing a “dissolve filter” and a mask.…

Water Lid, 2010-01-26
This banal piece of rugged hardware has a very strong design. This is an experiment to bring out that bold design. If you’d like a bigger file to print out, please ask.

It was a good day for cycling!
I hauled furniture in the kid trailer today. I saw a wonderful sunset illuminating Mt Baker from Aldrich Rd. on the way home. Yes, I did Aldrich Rd with a bike trailer. I did not walk up any hills.

Stones, Squalicum Beach, 2009-01-26
It was cold and rainy. However, I needed to talk a walk. I recall that this walk I had the back of my camera dripping wet from the fog condensing onto my beard. My gloves were soaked, and my jacket sleeves were starting to soak thru into my shirt. But I had my new camera!…

Sweat Pea, Seattle, 2009-07-25
I love the Gimp. Tonight’s experiment was producing good looking newsprint, and using layer masks. I think I’m getting this layer mask technique. If you’d like to get a print of this, please let me know, I’d love to hear from you.

Hexnut Handrail, 2010
Wow, what a pile of layers did I amass to get this look. This was a fun experiment. I love adding grain. I also used a grain extract layer to lighten the middle. Print version? Email me, I’ll put one up. I’d be glad to hear from you.

Tweed Ride, Portland, 2010
My sister went down to the tweed ride in Portland this weekend. Looks like there’s some good photos up on flickr. Lots of sepia work, of course! I’m going to keep a lookout for grapma’s wool clothes as Goodwill. Bellingham will have a Tweed Ride someday, and I’ll be ready! My sister also saw a…

Mt Baker from Aldrich Rd, Ferndale, 2010
I was biking up Aldrich on my way to work when I viewed this. I expect more good things from this commute path. I did a b+w version of this but adding a little bit of color back in made it just the thing. If you’d like to see a b+w version, lemme know. Print…
