The Palouse

One of the highlights of last year was co-leading a photo workshop to the Palouse area of Eastern Washington.

The sun turns crimson at the end of the day over Palouse farmland as seen from Steptoe Butte.
This old truck and dairy barn are at a photographers’ favorite spot in Colfax, Washington. The owners of the property were friendly and good sports when we were there, asking only that we stay away from the other side of the property where their house is. Photo edited in Pixelmator for Mac as part of my review of the software at Macworld. http://www.macworld.com/article/3096293/photography/pixelmator-3-5-canyon-review-better-selective-editing-and-a-new-apple-photos-extension.html
This dreamy scene was captured one morning when I went on a solo walk during a photo workshop I co-lead, because the light and fog were too good to resist. What I love about this shot is what you don’t see. Although this looks like a remote canyon, it’s actually in the middle of Colfax, WA, where the Palouse River enters the town.

One of the highlights of last year was co-leading a photo workshop to the Palouse area of Eastern Washington, an amazingly photogenic area of our country. I’d like to say I got home and instantly edited them all, but of course I have a life like everyone else. (I did, however, get them smartly organized according to the plan in my book Take Control of Your Digital Photos on a Mac.) But hey, photos don’t have expiration dates, right? Here’s a selection of my favorite shots from that trip. Click any photo to view the set larger. And, of course, if you would like to purchase any of them as prints, contact me.
