Quotes

The key to becoming a confident and creative photographer is in how we think.

Go and make interesting mistakes, make amazing mistakes, make glorious and fantastic mistakes. Break rules. Leave the world more interesting for your being here.” — Neil Gaiman

It 2008 I was lucky enough to get a two week artist residency in the eastern area of Cascades National Park in Washington. Eastern HQ was in a town called Stehekin, which cannot be reached by roads: either take the ferry from the town of Chelan at the southern end of Lake Chelan to Stehekin near the north end, or fly in by float plane. I didn’t get much time to explore Chelan, but did take a few snaps. Pretty cool to a city boy who is used to views limited by buildings.

The decor is a bit different as well.
