Continuing the tale of my artist residency in the North Cascades from last week: I was assigned to the Imus Cabin. I have no idea who Imus was, but I had his cabin all to myself. This is the glorious view from the front porch.

This is the cabin itself.
North Cascades Artist-In-Residence
The aptly named Castle Rock was one of the more impressive peaks visible from Stehekin.
Yes, Rich, I’m really enjoying the “story” along with the images. And what a glorious view you had from the front porch of your cabin.
Thanks Sandy
I am very curious to hear more about your residency
Did you make a project out of it?
I did not, except for the residency requirement to provide an image within 6 months of the end of the residency and a slide show set to music. I can probably show the slideshow the next time at Walter’s if people are interested. It is just 2-3 minutes.
Since I have not gotten out very much lately to shoot, I thought I would tell the story of that residency because it is unique in many ways, including a tragic accident near the end.
Thanks for looking and for your comments.
