I was surprised last week while visiting North Whidbey to catch a few frames of this strange jet flying over Troxell Road. Turns out it was an Air Force F-22 Raptor, quite distinct from the electronic warfare jets flying in and out of NAS Whidbey. The fighter jet might have been on hand for Saturday’s […]

The islands

I created this “map” many years ago in the days of film. It’s not a precise map, by any means, but I like the fact that Fidalgo Island is central to the other islands in the neighborhood.

Scavenger

So beautiful in flight … so ugly on the ground. This is the turkey vulture, a scavenger with a huge wingspan and powerful beak. The head looks as though it has been dipped in hot oil.

Maiden of Deception Pass

In September 2013 members of the Samish Tribe re-dedicated the “Maiden of Deception Pass” carving at Rosario Beach. I shot this photograph in 1983 at the request of the late Ken Hansen (pointing), who led a tenacious campaign to have the Samish Tribe recognized by the U.S. government. Artist was Tracy Powell, who studied with […]

Growler silouette

It’s the U.S. Navy EA-18G “Growler,” flying out of Naval Air Station Whidbey Island (NAS Whidbey). This is a Boeing-built aircraft with a primary function of electronic warfare (jamming), a critical element of modern combat. They also boast limited attack capability.
