Looking Back
Rockfish to welcome new neighbor
These taps behind the bar hint of many “new and shiny” elements that will soon greet customers at the business formerly known as the Watertown. Renovation crews are working long hours as the opening of the “H2O” draws close. Downtown Anacortes visitors will now have drinking and dining options at both ends of the block […]
Winter blue
Monday’s snow prompted photographer friend Wayne Martin to dig through his 2008 snow files, where he discovered this beauty. I love the blue in this shot!
Phototography tip
From my photographer friend Wayne Martin: “A photo tip. Don’t shoot at eye level all the time. I took this with my camera lowered right to the beach, close to the water. That put the wave and the tug almost at the same level. This was taken by the lighthouse in Port Townsend, looking north.” […]
The fisherman
I don’t have any details about this photo from my friend Wayne Martin, but I know I like it. He simply titled it: “The Fisherman.”
Way Back Machine to Robbins & Jance
I don’t recall details, but it was 1998 and I was on the scene with my trusty Minolta (a 35 mmm camera that blessed me with more than 20 years of service). On hand for a book-signing in LaConner that day were authors Tom Robbins, Shelbey Scates and JA Jance. I’m pretty sure I was […]
Anacortes Lumber and Box
This is an undated photo of Anacortes Lumber and Box Company, shared with me about a year ago by Dave McCormack, whose grandfather was Francis Donald McCormack. Dave said his grandfather was an owner of the AL&B until around 1938, when the family moved to Salem, Oregon. “I obtained these photos from my uncle Michael […]
Take a virtual flight with ‘Growler’ pilot
We routinely watch these jets fly over Fidalgo Island. Now you can take a “virtual” flight thanks to a high definition video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=qf_hdFSnOEI As a result of analysis conducted in 2001, the Department of Navy selected the EA-18G Growler to replace the EA6-B Prowler, which has been in service since 1971. The EA-18 G Growler […]
Lighting up the curves
I love this “special effects” image by photographer friend Wayne Martin, who dropped the color out of everything except the center lines in this photo of Chuckanut curves. Thanks, Wayne!
City father Amos Bowman
I discovered this undated photo of Amos Bowman in an old collection of transparencies. I shot the photo of a photo (published in a history of Skagit and Snohomish counties) while working at the Skagit Argus in downtown Mount Vernon. “An Illustrated History of Skagit and Snohomish Counties” was a compilation of work by a […]

Del’s Christmas cactus
I rarely associate the word “cactus” with Christmas, but each year I am reminded that the two go together as blossoms burst forth, delivering some of the first gifts of the season. This beautiful image was created by photographer friend Del. To see more of his work, visit www.DelZanePhotography.com.
Short-lived TV commercial
Check out this Reebok “Pump” TV commercial, filmed at Deception Pass but doomed to a short life due to the “story’s” ending. This video appears on You Tube.
