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.
This picture was taken near Goldendale, Washington, on a dusty back road to nowhere in particular. We were driving out of Goldendale, 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.
