had a hankerin’ to go back to this spot in Fort Worden State Park (the same place I shot this image a couple of years ago) and shoot with the old life boat again.  so we did. :)  the weather was lovely, we made perfect time with the ferry & I got to wear this vintage dress I bought long ago and had forgotten about.  website | blog | twitter | facebook | S6 View high resolution

another from my Hitchcock styled, Alex Prager inspired shoot at the Olympic Sculpture Park.  :)
I’ve been wainting to shoot something with this sculpture for a long time.  I just love it’s odd whimsicalness~  I felt it worked it’s curious magic for this shot and played well against Samm’s perfect anxious expression.  it was so cold out that day.  you can see the frost on the ground.

terrain on Flickr.Via Flickr:
snapped a selfie last night and I just couldn’t do anything with it.  so I looked around and found this wonderful landscape (how did I miss this?) from my visit to the Maryhill Museum and plunked myself in.  so much better than a bare wall…

oil slick on Flickr.Via Flickr:
I ran over to my condo on the day they had packed up everything so the new carpets and hardwoods could be laid down with hopes of being inspired by a big empty space.  meh.  I was however intrigued by my bed as they’d wrapped it in plastic.  I only had this dark blue dress and didn’t feel like doing a nude. (super cold in there after no one living in it for two and a half months!)  so I did this.  I rather like it.  I kind of look like a baby seal. ;)
I’m unpacking boxes tonight.  you?website | blog | twitter | facebook | S6 View high resolution

red planet on Flickr.Via Flickr:
I just LOVED this landscape I took at the Maryhill Museum grounds so I figured I’d try and work one of my selfies in that I took 3 miles down the road at mini Stonhenge.  I’m diggin’ the other worldlyness of it~
the original landscape looks across the cloumbia river from washington to oregon.

flying against the wind on Flickr.Via Flickr:
another from my visit to the Washington coast.  I was hoping to find a large bleached piece of driftwood to stand in front of for this image but unfortunately there weren’t that many giant pieces and they were all pushed up against the shore in a line after the last high tide so they were also hard to get to.  this rock was pretty cool so I gave it a try.  goose feathers courtesy of the flock at the lake by my house.  and in case you were wondering who I take a lot of my photo adventures with it’s this guy.  always travel with a buddy.  he’s kind of a nut but he’s also a good driver.  ;)  he also just got a new Canon and a bunch of new lens so you should check his stream out.
TGIF!!  I have a vacation day today so I got to sleep in. it is of course raining though.  :/  hopefully it will clear up later.  have a great weekend ya’ll!website | blog | twitter | facebook | S6 View high resolution
