The comments were broken on the site. Sorry about that. They are fixed now... I think. I also added a new byTag and byDate page with thumbnails.

This is another shot I took of the factory down by the riverfront here in portland. I found the dust catching the sunlight, while the facility was shadowed by the highway 405 bridge interesting.

I really liked the different layers in this photo, from the black rocks in the front, the receding waves making triangles on its way out, the green water of the ocean and the smooth mild blue sky. This was another shot while on vacation on the coast.

This is a shot from the day I first interviewed at the Orphanage. After the interview I wandered around the Presidio in San Francisco and took this shot just as it started to rain. This was actually a much wider shot. I was standing under a bridge to keep from getting wet. I just liked something about the small group of trees that seemed so isolated from everything else. So I cropped in on them.

I liked the simplicity of this shot. It was down on the beach looking out along the edges of the bay I was standing in, trying to peek around the corner and see what was there. I couldn't get any farther down along the waters edge and so it had the "edge of the world" feeling. It was almost like one of those video games where the game map stops and you can't run over a tiny little hedge.

Another shot here from the north shore. It was a tranquil day up in Grand Marias, an awesome little town a few hours north of Duluth, MN. If you ever find yourself there, you should grab a slice of pizza at Sven & Olies. Everytime I find myself there, life seems like a different animal all together. This shot is from Artist's Point. With the flat rock formations, a lot of pools tend to form. I thought the image had a good subtle contrast in the textures, the wind blown pool with its little ripples, the straight rigid rock formations, and the large expanse of lake superior. You can see quite a few other shots from Artist's Point if you click on the tag of "grand marais" below.

Another shot from the North Shore of Minnesota to make my wife homesick.

This sister image to the one a posted a few posts back. I was edging along a very steep beach in a cove on Lake Superior trying to see what was around the corner. I liked the ragged outlines in the image and the subtle lighting just hinting at what textures exist in the shapes.
