Bikers Need Love Too!

I wish I’d asked their names, but anyway, here are some shots I took of a couple of Harley riders we met at the Grays River covered bridge on the way down to Cannon Beach.
It would be super cool to do a Biker’s rally or wedding someday!

Infra Red Photography

Well, since I do get days off now and then (I deserve it), today being a beautiful sunny day in Olympia, I took off down to the state capitol for a little photo shoot with my infrared camera. If only I’d had a young couple along to model for me, because the cherry trees there are in full magnificent bloom. Instead I made like a tourist and snapped away at some of the cool memorials and the awesome totem pole there on the capitol grounds. The IR color spectrum, invisible to most cameras, created a most unique look to the shots. Very novel! I had fun with it. I hope you enjoy them as well.

A trip to the Masonic Center & Memorial Park

In preparation for Alison and Brian’s wedding, we did a little scouting of this venue location. As you might gather from the title this is also a cemetary. It’s actually a fairly large tract of land with large fir trees scattered about. But next to the Masonic Center is a small open sided building with this wonderful brickwork spire soaring into the sky. Inside are the cubicles for the ashes of many departed souls.

I was stuck by the small tokens of love left friends and relatives. There were even fresh flowers for loved ones many, many years departed, and then there were the silly little things which must have been significant in their past lives. From small toys to fishing gear, to stuffed animals, to balloons, to american flags, it was all there. Very moving. Anyway, here are just a few photos that stood out for me.
