The house is sold.  Part of the selling process was the Dismantling of the Darkroom.  It was a very sad day.  I tore apart the 7′ sink that I built, tore down the shelves, painted the walls white, and installed a carpet.  Another part of the selling was packing up the computer and scanner.  I have no way of producing work for display on the Internet for the next few months.

The Columbia Gorge offers not only a wealth of photographic opportunities, but also a chance for my wife to heal.

The above picture was taken near Goldendale, Washington, on a dusty back road to nowhere in particular when, from out of the dog-eared western songbook, this barn and wheel presented itself to us on a bone dry August afternoon, and we stopped to take a few pictures with infrared film.  Being closer to scenes like this could make it worthwhile.
