Seattle Night Lights

"Seattle Night Lights"
This night view was photographed from a park on Queen Anne's Hill.  I did not have a tripod so I borrowed a plastic audio cassette to prop up the lens and took the photograph hand-held on a wall.  This has receive 92% acceptances in PSA recognized salons.


Drinking in Public is Prohibited

"Drinking in Public is Prohibited" 
I was boarding a bus in Seattle when I noticed this gentleman being busted.  I stepped back and shot this image which was the last one on the roll.  I had no time to reload.  This has received medals in PSA sanctioned salons.


Maine Coast Storm at Nubble Light

"Maine Coast Storm at Nubble Light" 
Driving south on the Maine Turnpike I noticed cloud breaks to the East and West and stopped to ask police where the lighthouse was located.  The rain stopped and the sun spotlighted the subject through cracks in the clouds.  This was another medal winner in PSA sanctioned salons.

One Man Fire Department

"One Man Fire Department" 
Returning home after photographing hot air balloons I saw these flames up the road ahead.  Fire departments were taking turns fighting the fire and the lone fireman was from Casco, Maine.  This was not a setup.  He was laying on top of the hose in order to hold it down.

Nigella (Mist of Love)

"Nigella (Mist of Love)" 
A friend bought these in Freeport, Maine and asked me to take them to Florida.  When I arrived there I selected three of them and, using available window light made this picture.  Another salon medal winner.
