taking a short break sometimes means...
working on something different a little while ' call it refreshing the palette. I've been optimizing and printing images for my 'featured artist' show next month at the Silverdale Fine Arts gallery ... all new prints and in one theme... I'm quite busy getting everything ready... more about it soon.

I made this image about a mile from our home on Nika Trail a couple years ago and just picked it at random to optimize before checking back into my project.

(no, the theme of the collection of images isn't landscape)

I'll bet some who keep up with what I post could guess... a subject that's gotten good reviews herebouts on LJ.

Peace

Current Music: Hello It's Me - Todd Rundgren

Returned last night from a good workshop experience
This past week, I attended an Eddie Soloway workshop on Whidbey Island. It was a good experience for me with an excellent and insightful instructor and sharing and talented fellow students. I highly recommend Eddie's book One Thousand Moons with photographs that I can best describe as inspiring. (you know I make good recommendations)

I returned home from Whidbey Island via the Keystone-Port Townsend ferry across Admiralty Inlet and then south on the Olympic Peninsula and across the Hood Canal floating bridge to my home here on the Kitsap Peninsula. Because of holiday traffic, I had to wait about three hours in the queue while three sailings whittled at the waiting line of cars, trucks, and motorhomes. I worked on my laptop, read, and dozed while I waited in the rain. This time of year, there is only one ferry on the run and I imagine that the weather caused it to fall a couple hours behind schedule in it's expected half hour crossing. I could have returned home from the other end of the state in the time it took to travel the sixty-some miles.

Here's a photo I made a couple days ago looking out across the Strait of Juan de Fuca toward the Pacific of the USS Stennis. I think it's home ported in Everett but it could have been in the shipyard in Bremerton about a dozen miles from here. (I try to avoid Bremerton and the shipyard in particular so probably wouldn't have noticed if it had been there.)
(many years ago, I served on one of these aircraft carriers as a nuclear reactor operator and crossed the Pacific a couple times as well as all over the South China Sea, Tonkin Gulf and Gulf of Cambodia.)
