According to a recent Seattle Times article, Seattle is experiencing an influx of new residents, based on drivers license applications. Most of those incoming humans are coming from California and Texas. Go figure! My plea: please don’t move here! We have the worst ( or nearly the worst) traffic congestion, more gray and rainy days than you can calculate using Chisenbop and a political structure of rule by committee, which means nothing gets done, to list just a few reasons for not moving here. WARNING! The image you see in this posting is an aberration in the normal weather pattern!

This closes out Beach Week. A couple of these images, this week, were originally shot on film and then the prints were later scanned into a PC. My sense is that the film images are a little ‘softer’ than digital, but I really don’t know how to describe that difference.

This must be Beach Week. Our first week of Spring in Seattle has been more like Winter so my mind has been drifting off to warmer climes.

A shameless plug: I will have a table at SpringFest (an arts and crafts fair) this Saturday. Live near Seattle, stop by.

Taken along the CA. coast a few years ago, after a trip to Santa Maria, CA. to bury my fathers ashes. Always fun to break basic photographic rules and see what shakes out.
