This is the waterfront in Port Townsend, WA. and the dock running out in the middle distance is the ferry terminal. I liked the waves from a boat going by and the pattern they made in the water.

This is one of my favorite spots at Fort Worden State Park in Port Townsend, WA. I’m not sure why, except that you are standing on a cement runway that a huge WWI era spotlight ran on out to the edge of a cliff. There you can look (almost) straight down to the beach. I’ve taken this same photo a number of times over the years. These are two that caught my eye as I was working on selecting images for the blog this week.


Both of these were taken on Kodak Tri-X film, but with different cameras. The top one with a Leica M-3 and the bottom with a Holga plastic camera. The Leica is an older camera, but very well made and with an exquite lens. The Holga is a ‘modern’ camera … but cheap, made of plastic with a plastic lens. There are noticeable image quality differences, but both are interesting images. The “lesson” is that it isn’t the camera that makes an interesting photo.
