I borrowed my friend Keith Thurman’s 35 mm camera and on this occasion, headed for an amateur hockey game […]
I remember when Election Day called for a visit to a neighborhood polling place. This photo was taken at Island View Elementary School in 2004, before mail-in ballots became The Method of casting one’s votes. Pictured here are “judges” Verna Berentson (left) and Sally Starnes, with “inspector” Joyce Baker looking on. Baker reported at that […]
I had the opportunity once again this year to produce a couple of postcards for the Anacortes Chamber of Commerce Visitor Information Center (VIC). Mary Talosi and a crack team of volunteers meet and greet community guests on a regular basis at the Commercial Avenue tourist information center. On occasion, they give away a postcard, […]

From my digital “scrapbook,” discovered today while looking for Fourth of July images for a friend. This little guy greeted me in 2004 as I descended the road from Mt. Erie. I was just telling my friend this a.m. how painful it is to review photos from original digital camera days. There was a reason […]

It’s a working weekend for a number of employees at Dakota Creek Industries, including these pressure washers working on twin propellers on the tugboat Valor.
One of my favorites photographs from a boat trip to Chatterbox Falls British Columbia in October 2005. Friend James Stover nicknamed the heron “The Old Man.” The light was great and the subject incredibly patient.
