Byron Bay, Australia - Lighthouse

admin — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 17:18:31 +0000

I remember this little town south of Brisbane, Australia as a surfers town. There were a lot of local shops that were open air and a lot of the locals had on typical surfer attire; many would be shoeless and/or shirtless. The weather wasn’t “hot” by any means, but temperate. The lighthouse, they say. is the Easternmost point in all of Australia as it juts out the seaboard.

We spent a good part of the day there but it was just a “drive through” stop on our trip south to Sydney from Brisbane in 2007. We’d have liked to stay a little longer, but the agenda wasn’t plotted out for it. Another memory I have of it is the kebabs they had at one of the open air stores. They were in a pita setup and were surprisingly delicious. I think this was the place. Comes highly recommended.

The flip side of the lighthouse looking down to one of the surfer beaches I had previously posted HERE, and will have to dig to find the shots I snapped there.

Two Trees Near Dayton, WA

This was right first when I got my 20d and we were heading down to Walla Walla in 2004. I honestly don’t remember what we were going down there in the middle of the summer for. Heather was pregnant and Bob was with us. Maybe the Alumni baseball game? I’m not sure, but I really always liked the colors in the area and this is another point to it.

Tallow Beach in Byron Bay, Australia

This shot down from the Byron Bay lighthouse had a long way to Tallow Bay where there wasn’t anyone surfing, unusually I hear… I remember it was hard to find a parking place all the way up there, and we kept looking on the sides of the road to find somewhere to park, but eventually just ended up at the top of the hill, and lo and behold, the closest spot to the lighthouse was open. Cha-ching!

The Q-bert Pool

Don’t exactly remember where this photo was taken in Mumbai, but I recalled seeing the interesting architectural structure I thought was a swimming pool, but still not sure, but certainly photoworthy. It kinda reminds me of the game Q-bert with all the angles. I’m getting old apparently…

Abandoned House Near Goldendale

We’ve driven by this house a handful of times over the years. It’s right outside Goldendale, WA and near the windmills that are going up along the Columbia river. It was amazing how clean the house was on the inside - you’d think varmints and bushes would overrun it, but maybe the owners of the land keep it clean or something. It’s scarily interesting and just off the highway.

I just got myself a new wide-angle lens (and 4gb memory card) this week when I went in for just a battery charger. It’s an addictive habit the guy at the shop told me.

Preying Mantis Party

I didn’t see a lot of preying mantis’ growing up in Montana; it was a bit too cold. However Hawaii seemed like the perfect place for a few (million) of them…

Whitman College - In Between Prentiss And Anderson 360

admin — Fri, 22 May 2009 17:07:32 +0000

**Note: This photo is actually 20 foot long by 3 and 1/2 foot tall in it’s original state. I had to cut it down to fit on the screen. But if you want REAL detail, HERE it is in actual size!**

I was digging through old shots this weekend and started looking at these. I didn’t realize it at that moment of looking through them, but I pulled them up in Photoshop and started to remember that I did a 360 degree shot. I pieced them all together and sure enough - it turned out pretty good. I forgot how nice it gets in Walla^2 in the summertime.

The models in the photo are Bob Jones, my wife Heather, and it appears Lilla is starting to grow, so my guess is this shot is about July 2004. Pretty good memories indeed!

Shaniko Shoe Tree 2

admin — Mon, 18 May 2009 08:08:47 +0000

Couldn’t quite figure this one out, but we’ve seen it before on the drive down to Bend, OR, but the “shoe tree” needs its own bit… It’s a sight to see, so is the undergarments tree next to it, but far more interesting to look at.

Friday Night Lights

admin — Fri, 15 May 2009 02:32:14 +0000

Snapped this one in Missoula, MT right on the other side of the river from Missoula Hellgate. We stop at this Taco John’s as it’s the last one before you leave Montana and it’s one of my favorite taco locales. I remember it being a staple back in Helena on Taco Tuesdays where you’d get 2 for $0.99!

It was December right after Lilla was born and we had the 98 Jimmy loaded down with a lot of stuff - hard to imagine the drive nowadays in that one. The shot was actually just a quick one to highlight the ice floating in the water but when I got it home and processed the lights and sky really popped. This one is one of my faves…

Construction in India

admin — Mon, 11 May 2009 08:06:29 +0000

You wouldn’t think that the construction industry would buy off on these types of setups, but when you get down to it, they seemed to have the hang of it. No shoes, no workboots, no hard hats, no nets. Nothing but climbing around on the bamboo support structures building. Hard to believe, but it gets the job done in India.
