		<title>Aaliyah</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is Aaliyah.  She was born on February 16, and these pictures were taken ten days later.  At the beginning of the shoot, she was tired, but wide-eyed, and she clearly didn&#8217;t want to sleep.  There was too much world around her, too many sounds and sights, and that strange man with the big camera [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wallace, ID &#8211; Part III &#8211; The Mining Company</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wallace, Idaho was filled with treasures:  the alleyways, the brick buildings, the fire escapes.  But for me, one of my favorites was the Mining Supply Company buildings.  There were several of them.  And all of them were painted, from top to bottom, in a rich rusty-red.  The effect was remarkable, and really accentuated all the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cello</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Big and big-boned. Patient. Slow-moving. Tolerant even when toddlers pulled on his tail. And sporting the world&#8217;s longest, most splendid whiskers. A perfect lap cat. Not pushy. But always glad to accommodate an empty lap. Easy-going. And, in the right situations, given to spectacular love attacks: glassy eyed, purring, rolling around, when thisclose was not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wallace &#8211; Part II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I like lines.  More than color, more than light and shadow, what I see in an image are lines.  Wallace, Idaho had lots of great lines:  bricks and mortar, the pattern of windows, the shapes of buildings sandwiched together, and the lines their rooftops make against a blue sky splotched with clouds.  Here are some [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wallace in Three Parts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And this is part one.  Wallace, Idaho, of course.  I made a day trip to Wallace, having heard it was a quaint town.  I parked on the north side of town, and then crisscrossed my way, on foot, systematically, through the streets and alleys.  The town was quiet.  Not many people out, in spite of [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Third Annual Hot Wheels Extravaganza</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It started with a modest 70 cars.  The next year featured over 500 cars.  But this year, well, this year topped them all.  Over 1000 cars raced in a thrilling, competitive fury to see who would be crowned the Fastest Car in the Third Annual Hot Wheels Extravaganza!

The track was constructed and carefully calibrated, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Matt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This is Matt.  I did senior pictures with him and just had a great time.  His mom had described him as &#8220;very thoughtful, introspective, intelligent, philosophical, a musician and an artist.&#8221;  I didn&#8217;t spend enough time with him to verify all those things, but from what I DID learn about him, it all seems to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Level Zero</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I had been wanting to do a shoot with a band for a while, but I didn&#8217;t know where to find a band.  As it ends up, Tim Wallace (second on the right), whose wedding I shot several years ago, is now in a band, and they wanted some band pictures done.
So, this past Monday, [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Day With Courtney</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pullman isn&#8217;t THAT far away.  Still, when traveling across the Palouse to do a shoot, I figure we might as well make it worth it and go all out.  Fortunately, this was exactly Courtney&#8217;s thinking as well.  So we made a day of it.  Indoor shots.  Outdoor shots.  Industrial [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nirvana in Hillyard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had talked to Nirvana for, literally years, I think, about doing a shoot.  We finally made it happen.  And then, once it happened, it was entirely different than planned.  I was thinking of doing a shoot with a car, but I wanted some good scenic buildings and background for the car.  I thought some [...]]]></description>
