driving around with the corey
afterward, looking for a local lunch spot, we stopped in a tiny town called matawa (pop. 2600), where almost 90% of the population is hispanic or latino. coming from out of town, not speaking spanish, and being a vegetarian, proved to be a bit of a challenge. there was a lot of “no carne” being said, with dim results.
i’m a sucker for eastern washington… i love the open land and water and mountains and sunshine. expect more.
for anyone who may care, the first few pics were with the canon16-35L and the last couple were with the iphone and photoshop mobile free app
corey was kind enough to drag me to ocean shores and aberdeen, washington

My friend Lauren had told me about a group of people that get together on Thursday nights at a local high school to use their darkroom facilities for personal photography, leaving the commercial work behind. While it sounded like a really nice group of traditionalists, I for some reason thought of myself somewhat removed from simple b/w processing. I’m not sure why… but I didn’t feel the need to “go out of my way” when I do so much with scanner/photoshop.
However, with the colder months coming on, I decided to sign up for the Fall Quarter workshop. Next week will be our last and all I can think about is, “When will Winter quarter start!”
It has been a real test of commitment to consistently shoot film, but more difficult, to put four hours aside to do nothing but make pictures.
Just. To. Make. Pictures. In a dark dark room.
