Nicole, Part I: In an Alley


Nicole in an Alley We had a brutal spring here (or a long winter), and I sent my camera to the factory service center for an upgrade, and an assortment of other over-riding factors prevented Nicole and me from getting a shoot done.  It prevented us for months.

Until last week.  Finally.

The whole concept for the shoot was built around color–in particular, a yellow dress.

We started in an alley. We ended at a house. So this is part one.

A City Made of Bricks


Spokane BricksTwo things I love about downtown Spokane: the freight railroad that plows straight through downtown, and the old brick buildings. Some are grand, some small, some renovated, some in need. In any case, something about the buildings appeals to me: the symmetry and solidity, perhaps. Or the transoms windows and steel fire escapes. Or the arcade facades and the neglected back walls in alleys. Or the way the bricks vary in color, or show their wear, or wear the fading paint of signs past. In any case, I like brick buildings.

(I apologize for not posting for so long. I’ve had a cold. I’ve had taxes. I’ve had poor eating habits. I’ve had many other excuses, as well. Enough then. More galleries will be on the way soon, I promise.)

Snow and Trees


Snow and TreesIt snowed last night. It came in on a wind. A thick, wet, heavy snow that stuck on branches and the sides of trees.

I woke up, saw the beautiful white world, and decided to take a little walk around my neighborhood. It was quiet outside, a sleepy Saturday, and the snow was a blanket while the city rested. I went, of course, with camera in (numb) hand.

Winter in Spokane


Winter in SpokaneIt’s foggy.

It’s cold.

It’s windy.

It’s snowy.

It’s dark a lot.

I go out to take pictures now and then.

Here are some from the winter so far.
