acme, wa



driving home from an interview for my photo column... coffee, bon iver, missing my family...

tree keepers...


found walking...




whenever i tell people here how much i like bellingham, most have said something like, "well, you've really lucked out with a sunny winter... see what you think when it rains all of the time." i'm not sure if the rain would get to me or not, but i get the feeling i'd be alright with it. (as long as i didn't have to shoot track meets too often)

i never thought a can of soup could seem so creepy...

who i am on saturday night...



we tried to play pool downtown last night... but got tired and picked up my camera instead. i'm not sure which would've been more fun... (ps, cigarette is just a prop. i'm not a smoker.)

i was going to post in all duotone, but i had to post one of these in color. sometimes, i could really use an editor...

in search of farms...






i went driving through the outskirts of whatcom county today, in search of a photo column subject - preferably at a farm. i found this odd place... it only had one buffalo, one llama, and one cow. i went to the house on the property, and talked to an old woman. she told me the animals belonged to her husband. i asked her why they had a buffalo, and she responded, "i tell you, i ask my husband that same thing every day."

crossing the border for dairy...


so, obviously some camera awareness going on here... but, i thought it was an interesting story. so i went to pick up chicken feed out in blaine, right on the border of cananda, and everyone tells me that i've got to stop at ed and aileen's dairy to get an ice cream cone. because they're huge, and cheap. it's true, they are. and i even went the extra mile and bought a GALLON and a half of espresso chip (my favorite), because it was $8.50! (you can see this in the corner of the frame, another no no) so, these people are in front of me, and their cart was loaded with milks... i took the picture because it was interesting, but after they left, the cashier told me that they come in every week and buy about that much milk because they're vegetarians and they get most of their protein from dairy. they're from canada, and it's so much cheaper in the u.s. that the travel across the border to buy it. interesting...

water is the essence of wetness...


and wetness is the essence of beauty. this picture isn't all that, but zoolander definitely is.
