the recent gift of a black-tailed deer skull got me thinking about the various nature ephemera i have accumulated around the house over the years. it was fun to bring some of the bigger bits out on the table and have a look at things.

for an idea of scale, the largest moon snail shell is 5" across.

Sally sells sea shells down by the sea shore ... and I can not wait to get to the beach again! Why must vacation only come but once a year? I swear that one day I will at least have a winter home by the beach to escape from the mountain cold.

Triggered via Built-in Flash (CLS)

I was asked back the the Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific for another of their Photo Nights.

In addition to presenting the "Getting Started" show, I was asked to do a Hands-on CLS class.

I thought it would be fun to have a couple of the flash stations be themed more towards the Aquarium.

This is a redo of the "Spilled Sweetness" set-up we use in the regular CLS Workshop. www.flickr.com/photos/pva1964/4018577793/in/set-721576232...

I used the black shelf liner to highlight the shells without throwing any color cast.

Shell Station Issaquah by Scott Elliott Smithson

Front Street, Issaquah, Washington. The city has restored the original Shell Station and transformed it into the visitor's bureau. It's what greets a visitor coming into Issaquah on the main street, Front Street.

Much of downtown Issaquah looks like an early to mid 20th century western mining town. There's a saloon like feel to some of the buildings.

I live a couple blocks from here.
