Red! A Photo Challenge
It’s a gray and rainy day in the Pacific Northwest with many more to come. What better time to jump into a photo challenge and brighten things up with some red? Not my car but isn’t it great? We found it at a classic… Continue Reading “Red! A Photo Challenge”

A Fall Walk with a RAW Twist
I took a walk at Coulon Park and despite the rain and milky sky, the fall colors couldn’t have been better. So what’s the twist? For the first time I shot the photos using the RAW image format. And no it was not my… Continue Reading “A Fall Walk with a RAW Twist”

Nascar Hall of Fame
