Downstream From The Falls

Downstream From The Falls
Downstream from Snoqualmie Falls is a whole other ball game than the actual waterfall itself; the water flows pretty strongly but it’s nowhere near the strength it is up at the falls. Back in January I visited the falls on a somewhat-not-wet winter’s day and was able to capture some images of the falls as [...]

Rainier Sunrise

Rainier Sunrise
Back in January we saw some pretty spectacular sunrises here in Seattle. While it was fairly enticing to shoot the whole skyline I couldn’t resist a photograph of Mt. Rainier. It’s such a rare morning to have the combination of clear skies, sunrise, and amazing clouds that I was literally scrambling to capture the images [...]

Your Story: John Batdorff

Your Story: John Batdorff
I’m not quite sure what to say to introduce the author of today’s post, other than to say that I hope my homage from yesterday is enough to do both him and his photography justice. I’ve wondered at and continually attempted to perfect what makes a great black and white photograph, and while I’ll forever [...]

Sailing Into Sydney Harbour

Sailing Into Sydney Harbour
I’ve processed this image last week; one of the first few images that I processed upon returning from Australia. I waited to post it because I wanted to post it as a prelude to tomorrow’s Your Story post whose author will be revealed tomorrow. While I’m not revealing the author today, I waited to post [...]

Seattle at 400mm

Seattle at 400mm
I took this particular image a few months ago towards the tail end of summer (anyone else get the feeling I’m trying to will summer back? Yeah? Sweet.). This shot was actually taken with a 400mm lens from the 12th ave bridge in Seattle, looking out into Puget Sound. I had the privilege of borrowing [...]

A Summer Evening Passes By

A Summer Evening Passes By
I took the opportunity while I was in Perth in the middle of last month to record a couple of timelapses. This isn’t the world’s greatest timelapse by any stretch (iMovie can’t do slide transitions less than 0.1s apart… sad) but hey, I’m not looking to win an oscar with this thing I was fairly [...]

Outside The Opera House

Outside The Opera House
The Sydney Opera House was high on my list of places to photograph when I visited Sydney at the end of last month, not because of its iconic status but because I was itching to put my own spin on it. It’s got to be one of the most photographed buildings in Australia and that [...]

A Sweeping Seattle Skyline

A Sweeping Seattle Skyline
I’ve just returned from a two point something week long trip to Australia and upon my return I’ve been greeted with the most perfect Seattle winter weather. It’s crisp and wonderfully sunny and warm for this time of year. I expected to leave the hot, summery weather of Australia to find myself in the middle [...]
