The View From Good Shepherd Center
I was photographing the group 2nd Century Savage, at the Earshot Jazz concert series: Jazz: The Second Century at the Good Shepherd Center in Wallingford last Thursday, and it turned out not to be as hot as it was on Weds. There was a cool breeze drafting in the windows as the Good Shepherd Center sits on top of a hill and the space is on the 4th floor with a view of the sun setting over the Olympics. I was taken by the backlighting on this tree and focused on it rather than the sunset.
2nd Century Savage is saxophonist, flutist, and composer John C. Savage with electronica artist, vusac (aka Isaac Peachin). Their mission, they say, is to expand the definition of jazz to include electronic instruments and live production techniques in tandem with contemporary jazz improvisation. The results are haunting, transporting, and strikingly novel. Their performances give the impression of swirling planes of sound, some melodic and familiar, some protean and mysterious, folding through untold dimensions of space and the mind.

Landscape Photography
Crossing the Columbia I was heading back to Seattle from an editorial assignment in Spokane, Washington, when the sky started turning darker. I could see many miles ahead since the land is so flat and the rain storm was massive, but the sun would peak through in place. There was a rainbow but by the time I reached the Columbia River and a place to pull over the rainbow was gone. Just the mass of dark clouds and rain squalls over the Columbia running down in the gorge below
Koliba Forest
Spring In Koliba Forest
Some more of the forest in Koliba that sprint a couple of years ago. It is a forest not far from Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. and is a wonder in spring, and a joy to stroll through. Koliba is the name of a locality in Bratislava, Slovakia, which is situated on the foothills of the Little Carpathians. It administratively belongs to the Nové Mesto borough and is part of the Bratislava Forest Park. The park is managed by Bratislava City Forests, a non-profit organization.
The park covers an area of 27.3 km² (10.54 mi²), of which 96% is covered with forests; the rest consists of meadows, water and built-up areas. The park contains original flora and fauna such as grass snakes, stone crayfish, European badgers, red foxes, mouflons, field maple, and elderberry. The Vydrica river originates in the park’s territory.
The park includes many localities popular among visitors, such as Železná studienka, Partizánska lúka (Partisan meadow), Koliba and the Kamzík TV Tower.

River
In the Olympic National Park, a river swirls around a small island, in the southern end of the Park not far from Lake Quinault.
Recently thanks to a client who requested some landscapes for her commercial client, I have managed to get around to scanning some of the panoramic images I have been shooting on trips around Washington State, this was one of a series on this river. I also shoot quite a lot of the temperate rain forest. The temperate rain forests of the Pacific Northwest developed where moisture-rich air masses from the Pacific Ocean rise and become trapped by the coastal mountain ranges in Oregon and Washington state. The moisture then condenses and returns to earth in the form of heavy rainfall and, at higher elevations, snow. These forests stretch in a narrow band from the redwood forests of extreme northern California, western Oregon and Washington and continue north through Canada to Sitka in coastal Alaska. Small pockets of temperate rain forests are also found in the Rocky Mountain areas of northwestern Montana at its border with Canada. However, the largest remaining portion of the North American temperate rain forest is found in Olympic National Park in northwestern Washington state.

Trees For the Forest
Trees : Koliba, Bratislava, Slovakia 2004
I have been scanning and printing some large scale panorama landscape photographs for the past few days, It is really good to see how they look printed large. I am making them 5 and 6 feet in length. They were shot on film but have more detail than any digital camera out on the market today.
That may change in the coming years if the RED camera company actually produces their version. Of course it will come at a cost. I saw the price list that had it coming in at $55,000.
