Black and white photograph of a historic domed conservatory built in 1907, set on a grassy hill with bare winter trees. The image is soft and grainy, giving the glass structure a dreamlike, timeless feeling.

Built by hands no more, voices ever silent.

The tide was out, so the aroma was there. The legacy of pulp mills and sawmills. The pulp mill is closed now, but the massive amounts of sawdust dumped from the sawmills created a sulfury slurry in the bay and lasts lifetimes. When the tide is out far it comes back with a vengeance.

Black-and-white photo of a long waterfront walkway with a metal railing, fading into mist; a lone figure holding an umbrella stands in the distance overlooking calm water and low hills on the horizon.

Thank you. The exposure is about 75-90 seconds, so I can quickly walk into the shot and hold still while it is exposing.

Black-and-white photograph of a solitary figure standing on a rocky shoreline holding an open umbrella, facing calm water dotted with weathered wooden pilings; in the distance, a bicycle hangs from a tall pole against a pale, overcast sky.

Black-and-white motion-blur portrait of a woman walking indoors while holding a small dog close to her chest; her face turned slightly to the side, with soft streaking and shallow focus creating a cinematic, dreamlike sense of motion.

Black-and-white motion-blur portrait of a musician wearing a traditional hat and long-sleeved garment, head slightly bowed while playing a stringed instrument; vertical light streaks trail from the instrument and hands, creating an ethereal, flowing effect against a dark background.

And now for something completely different. From January meetup of the Edmonds Photo Club and @pugetsoundpinholers . It was a bad day for pinhole, but I liked this shot aboard the MV Walla Walla. @ferriesonfilm

Thank you - I appreciate your thoughtful comments. I'm exploring some philosophical ideas about time, space, perception and reality with the ICM work. A fast shutter freezes the image almost precisely. Slow it down and we see things we don't realize happen within the span of 1/8 of a second.

Black and white photo taken at Pike Place Market. A person wearing a knit cap holds a phone while moving through the crowd. Motion blur causes their face to appear doubled, with other people fading into the background.

Black and white intentional camera movement photograph of a person walking through a busy city street holding an open umbrella. The figure is partially blurred by motion, with surrounding pedestrians, lights, and building details streaking and swirling, conveying rain, movement, and urban energy.
