An old barn and wheel near Goldendale, Washington.  Learning to see with a camera is not always as easy as it may seem. Back when I was still dating my wife, she lived near Klickitat, Washington. On a hot, August day, we drove out of dusty Goldendale with my Hasselblad and a few rolls of Konica Infrared film. From somewhere in the dog-eared Western songbook, came this wheel and barn near a bend in the road. I set up my tripod, and lined the wheel up directly in front of the barn. Having been an artist since, well, birth, my future wife suggested moving a few steps to the left. What a difference! Finding the right angles and lines for any given image presents a challenge, and it always pays to be open to suggestion.

Camera: Hasselblad 500 CM
Lens: 80mm Zeiss Planar
