Pacific Northwest Portfolio is Live

Well it appears that the portfolio is essentially wrapped up at least in terms of the post work — which has been ongoing since early Sept.

Portfolio image #1: Seljalandsfoss

I never did get a portfolio level photograph at the Seljalandsfoss waterfall on my May trip; after two days I was heading east on the Ring Road again. I caught Seljalandsfoss on a May morning, wind cold and blowing hard, I was seeing the place through eyes that’d already seen 20 hours of travel. Some interesting shots came out of it that first day…

The Northern Fjords, Pt 1

The north is a rough glove of mountains separated by long fjords. Like the east, there are small villages in each, some charming, some just workaday. But in the north, you must leave Rt 1 to drive those coastal two-lanes. The Ring Road heads east to west (more of less) and is half the drive. But I like the mix of cliff road and…

The Eastern Fjord Country

Iceland’s East Coast seems to be the least visited section on the Ring Road. It’s on the other side of the country from Reykjavik so you don’t see the tour buses. And it doesn’t have as many “sights” and tourist infrastructure. But from my perspective as a photographer, all that’s to the good.

Mullaghmore at Dusk – Ireland

Bruno’s seascape is a nicely composed long exposure shot. Taken at Mullaghmore, Sligo, Ireland.

Living off of the low hanging fruit? It’s not any sweeter.

The days have become shorter up here. Today a cloudy grey sky and a predicted high of -7 Celsius is forecast. It’s gloomy outside and some people find weather like this depressing. Call me weird but I find peace and tranquility when the skies are heavy. The landscape is easier on the eye. Shadows…

Shadow of the Mountain

Karen has a heartfelt blog post on hiking, life events and the lure (or lack) of climbing the Munros, those 200+ Scottish mountains over 3,000 feet. … and check out her Scotland landscape shots.

The Manhattan Skyline

The Manhattan Skyline.   So this is my third trip to NYC in the past 5 years or so, and it marked many first for me. Yesterday I had my first bagel and coffee from a street vendor. Good stuff, I know there is better in the city though at some of the deli’s, but I was in…
