By the skin of my teeth I was in Japan last month. Two days before I was scheduled to come home, the state department indicated very strongly that I should cut the trip short. This took place in a thatched house during a snow storm.
I’ve worked this image several times. Here’s another take that had never occurred to me before. Click image for larger view. Enjoy, Hal
After shooting all morning in Chetco Park, we headed south and stopped at the Resighini Casino which is just off 101 south of the Klamath River. Abandoned, but curiously enough with the air conditioning running. At our monthly D’Art meeting, Bosha brought in some work she’d done at a Wabi Sabi workshop in Mendocino. Not my cup of tea. But, it got me to playing with a photo of this casino. And this is what happened. As usual, click on image for a more detailed version.
I like these guys. A friend and I stopped here and ordered fallafels and frites. They handed me a bag and we took off back to the apartment. In the bag were only fries. Off I went back. Huge line when I got there. Went to the front of the line and the guy taking orders said, “Why did you leave without your fallafels? I was running after you but you didn’t hear me.” They made up fresh ones and off I went. Delicious dinner.
Every time I go out to Dry Lagoon, I see something new. The rocks and grasses are my current obsession when I go there. I entered a 16×24″ of this on Red River Palo Duro Softgloss Rag in the upcoming Humboldt Photography Exhibition.
This is Dave Schumaker on Christmas Eve, 2010, at the Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Yesterday morning we had coffee. This morning, his wife called to let me know that Dave died in his sleep last night.
A rose from my front yard this morning. Focus stacked 16 images from my new macro setup. While playing with textures, I turned the rose blue. Which made me think of the play The Glass Menagerie because of the misinterpretation of pleurosis.
As always, or most of the time, click on the image for a larger view.
Usually when I go out to Dry Lagoon it’s full of water. This time, I walked a couple hundred yards along an elk trail out into the lagoon. The grasses were spectacular. Nice day.
