Can you do that???
Well I thought I could.
So I drove over, and we woke up early. Early enough to catch the predawn light. We could see our breath – the November waters were frigid. Water adds a new dynamic to the process – you can’t undry. It’s cold – there are whoops and WHOOPS, and loud cries – loud enough to interest the park ranger. The sun is rising – the Sound is flat and still – and the water is frigid. I’ve got my foot in a brace and it’s starting to rain. Out comes the umbrella. 350 shots later we head back to shore – wet and shivering.
Epic and awkward?
You tell me . . . .

Neil, the "4 dudes" in the baptismal font are just incredible! The sepia-tendency cuts out the distraction of other of nature's colors, and seems to emphasize their faces and arms. I always said you were good behind a camera, but it is wonderful to see that you're still evolving and unfolding!

ReplyDeleteThanks so much - it's great hear from you! Yakima is good but it's no Pullman . . . this photo shoot was so much fun, it's great shooting when everybody is freezing and it is crazy cold and the early morning light is just breaking thru the clouds. I learned alot about posing - something I have a hard time telling people to do. I had guys of differing heights so I had to stagger them with out looking like I had staggered them. They were great sports, moving centimeters at a time for me, leaning this way and that.
I hope you're not getting buried in snow out there!
