Two viewers of my images let me know that they do not share my enthusiasm for raccoons. Gee. Some folks have had bad experiences that have shaped their strong opinions. One, for example, went so far to suggest that blazing flame-throwers should be pointed in their direction. The other shares a similar though less overtly hostile sentiment. I sympathize and understand the motives…

Three days ago, NYC was encased in clouds after an all-night rainstorm. Being a native of Seattle, I found this to be very beautiful and reminiscent of my other home, 3,000 miles away.

As you have probably guessed, looking at my pictures, I really love night photography, and NYC is so photogenic by night, too. But I still have not managed to translate the image that I see in my mind into an image that you can see on my blog, but I am experimenting with my camera in the hope that one day, I shall finally capture that exquisite picture to share with all of you.
