Dog Friendly Venues
The magazines are out! I spent quite some time working on this one. Dog friendly venues! Straight up my alley. Over a period of a couple of months, I traveled up and down the Grays Harbor area and surrounds, taking dog pics like a fiend. Congrats to those who ended up in the bit. So […]
Petoskey Universe
[Tangent alert: No photography/camera stuff in this post.] There’s a universe in a Petoskey stone. Growing up in Michigan, Petoskey stones were the holy grail of fossils. When I was a kid I could spot a Petoskey stone at 50 paces. My dad marveled at my Petoskey spotting skills. Years later, I realized my Petoskey […]
Fun stuff! Respites.
In a month bestrewed with medical appointments (instead of gown shoots in Europe … fingernails tapping on a glass tabletop …) It’s making me wonder, what do people do who actually have time to do stuff? Like, I set aside this time to be away but now I’m home and when I feel good, I […]

200 Things – a Washaway Beach album
Update: 04-08-2023: I’m still really proud of this really quirky, overpriced (not my fault) book. Since this book was published, measures have been taken and, for the most part, the erosion is being controlled. Are the erosion measures working? Has the tide simply slacked for a while? Is it a fluke? Even those of us […]
First Post and New Website!
I have this thing where, I have all these great blog ideas. Then I go to implement them and everything comes to a screaming, screeching halt. (Insert the sound of skidding tires and a whiff of overheated brake pads.) Typing these few sentences is the first step in erasing that awful smell of burnt rubber […]
