I am just getting used to black and white again, trying to see my color photos that way. There are some scenes that just cry out to be black and white. Like these clouds. I took this photo through the windshield of our car on the highway. Here in the rainy Pacific Northwest, it's often …

I love this topic! I often post photos of the power of Nature, and we have lots of those elements right here in the Pacific Northwest. My very favorite subject is Snoqualmie Falls, which is just a half-hour drive from our home. We go there often, just to stand behind the chain-link fence and view …
White isn't a color, it's the sum of all colors. These days, white gets the ultimate bad rap, due to the fact of the Black Lives Matter Marxists denigrating all white people, and demanding that they be crushed. But if white is the sum of all colors, shouldn't white be seen as the best? The …

Thanks very much to Sofia, who echoes what I always tell my friends, photographers or not. I make a habit of looking up, wherever I am. Most people, when they are in a city, walk or drive along looking forward, or down at their phones (which is dangerous!). I suggest that they take their eyes …

But I really have looked at clouds from …
Shadows are cast by people and things, by the Sun. You often see a person's shadow before you see the person. It's really hard to sneak up on someone in the bright sunshine! How often have you seen something you want to photograph, and there's no place to stand where you do not cast a …

Hubby had an appointment in the little town of North Bend, in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains this afternoon, so I went along with him. It had been a couple of years since I'd been there, and there's an outlet mall right on the way, so he dropped me there on his way to …

Our Tennessee trip ended on a pleasant note. We made it to the airport in plenty of time, turned in the rental car, checked our bags, and sauntered over to our gate to wait. It turned out that their PA system was out, so the poor gate agents had to shout instructions. Through their masks, …
