Checker Station wagon owned by a retired guy who lives about a mile from our home. Two summers ago he pulled off most of the exterior chrome parts and had them re-chromed. It’s a pretty cool car in great shape.

Cooling Off On a rare, warm ( dare I say ‘hot’) day in the Pacific NW these two children found a way to cool off. This water fountain is in downtown Portland, Oregon, adjacent to the Riverplace Walkway .

Week of 20 April 2009

I am in Portland, Or. this week. My next posting will be this Friday. I have been busy shooting, though, so much new material to display. Hopefully it will be worth the wait. Thanks to all of you who have been so supportive of my blog and work. Photography seems like such a personal experience that with each posting we are putting ourselves ‘out there’ for the world to view and critique. My hope is that I post and share something of interest to me and others; perhaps even something out of the ordinary seen through my eyes.

For those who may be following my blog I apologize for not posting for a few days. I was in Portland and while there caught a flu bug that put me out of commission for nearly 3 days.

These images were taken at the Pike Place Market in Seattle, Wa. I love shooting flowers & produce. If you can get to the market early on a week day most of the vendors seem to welcome photographers. When it is busy, though, I was seen as a bit of a nuisance. While I was shooting a woman visiting her son in Bellevue asked me to take her photo. She was touring around the US from India. We talked for a while and eventually exchanged email addresses. Her name is Aruna. We have been infrequently communicating the past 2 years. The last email I received from her she said she was in Queens, NY looking for a job.

First Blog Post

This is my first post on my first blog. I’m not sure what direction this blog will take, but I would like to augment any writing with my photos. I think my photography has more to say than my words.
