from an old post… anyone remember this image?
hol(e)y cow ©2005 Ed Book The image was from one of my workshops up on Whidbey Island, north of here. We visited a sculpture garden in Coupeville and found some interesting compositions… this one being serendipity. Peace
Buddies
We just returned from spending the past few days Grandson-sitting and look forward to doing so again soon. Here’s an image of Talus with his buddy Hoodoo watching Daddy leave for work. Talus and Hoodoo enjoyed their bonding time with both being respectful of each other’s space. Hoodoo particularly enjoyed camping out under the table [...]

In the spirit of celebrating the anniversary of my birth for a week vice day–which I started doing a few years ago when I missed my actual birth"day"–I’ll celebrate this LiveJournal anniversary for a week… whatever that entails… maybe [...]
Sinking the sidewalk

Talus visits Grandpa
more of Talus Brubaker Book at three months ©2009 Ed Book Seth, Victoria, and Talus came up to visit a couple days ago and my camera was waiting. I need to set up a session specifically for photographing them with better light than the natural light I’ve been using… natural light is good but with [...]
Sally and Bronka and their amazing dancing bear
…who would think a boy and bear would be well accepted anywhere… well, the bear was wild and I didn’t see it dance, but I did see and photograph it eating huckleberries and mountain ash berries, walking down the trail, startling Sally which amused Bronka, and then stopping about ten feet from the trail to [...]

‘last week while making some photographs
Last week while I was in Mount Rainier National Park, I stopped on the Nisqually River bridge that crosses a short distance below the Nisqually Glacier to make some photographs. A tour bus crossed the bridge and parked to unload it’s riders so they could make some photos from the bridge. I watched and then [...]
Luka and Bob
a few years ago, Bob was mountain biking in the Capital Hills near Olympia and found that he was being followed by an emaciated looking very young and obviously lost husky. The dog couldn’t be chased away or dissuaded from following. After about eight miles of trail, Bob decided that he had found a new [...]
photos of folks on the trail
©2007 Ed Book When I was on the Mount Tahoma Trails in January, I photographed quite a few folks and had them sign model releases so I could use the images for stock photo sales in exchange for a photo of them. (payment for signing a model release must be of some value so I [...]
some folks I met along the trail
©2007 Ed Book I’m just now getting to looking at the rest of the images I made in the mountains a couple weeks ago. I got model releases signed from the folks I photographed and I/they wrote descriptions of what they were wearing so I could identify them in the images but now looking at [...]
my laptop has a camera that does tricks
My 17″ PowerBook died. (drowned, so says AppleCare) (keep juice away, far away from these things.) I had to replace it and since they quit making that model, it was replaced by the 17″ MacBook Pro (warning danger Intel inside) This new MBP looks like the replaced PB with a few small differences–one being the [...]
bad boys
boys in the hall ©2006 Ed Book actually, they were very polite and thought they were bothering my photography and were trying to get out of the way. I told them that there was no problem except for their flashlight. Peace

Pat playing his autoharp ©2006 Ed Book This photo was made with yurtmeister Pat’s new digital camera. I forgot which camera it was… The light source was ambient incandescent hence the warm tone. Peace
how did I do this?
Dave and I were standing beside each other in a parking lot when I made this image. How did I do it? Peace
last week’s yurt roof workparty
Cookie, Hoodoo, and I went up to MTTA this weekend and yurtmeister Pat rode with us. Pat worked on pulling the edge of the roof down over the wall—which has been a major challenge because the diameter of the yurt as it exists now is a little greater than the diameter of the new roof… [...]
first of three cruise ships to pass by
Last week when I was on the Ferry crossing Admiralty Inlet from Port Townsend on the Olympic Peninsula to Keystone on Whidbey Island, I saw a cruise ship go by and then another and another–all about the same except they were different cruise lines… I think this one was the Princess Megabucks… or maybe it [...]
