Red Balloon

I arrived in Cologne Germany with my business partner and fellow photographer Michael Reichmann yesterday. We are here to cover Photokina, the worlds largest photo show. As I always like to do in a city I visit is grab my camera and go out shooting. I took the Olympus EM-1 out yesterday and made quite a few nice images. This one of a boy playing with a balloon with his dad was the winner. I shot it wait a 100-300 lens on the camera and that allowed me to shoot from across the street without them knowing. Bottom line is spontaneity.

Gold and Browns

Where on earth can you find colors like these. The Palouse is like the color chip rack of a paint store. The is a classic example of the natural beauty in the Palouse during the harvest. Freshly plowed fields next to fields that have just been harvested. And, for a real treat you should see this place in the spring time.

Trucks

While in the Palouse I have a favorite place I like to visit every time. It is an old Texaco Station that was moved to a location of a mechanic. He also has collected a large number of old trucks. You could spend several hours at this location shooting all there is on the property. This is a long lens shot I mad of the truck cabs.

Iconic Palouse

The Palouse a small corner of Southeast Washington is a beautiful region that attracts photographers in the spring and during middle to late August. It has one of the richest soils in the country and it’s an area that is famous for growing wheat and other similar crops. I have visited the Palouse many times and it always provides me with a ton of new images a sit is a dynamic landscape, always changing. This is one of the more iconic pictures of the Palouse. A hillside, harvester and windmill. Shot with a Fuji XT-1.

It’s A lonely Job

The Palouse Harvest is all about big open fields, perfect skies and harvesters bringing in the grain. The drivers and farmers of the harvest work endless days drive combines through the fields. This image was captures with a long lens from the top of Steppe Butte one of the highest points in the Palouse. I think it explains itself.

A Fixer Upper

One of the things that make the Palouse so special are the surprises it offers up. I am in the Palouse all week leading Rockhopper workshop. We will be visiting many places and shooting the wheat harvest. However we will also be visiting abandoned homes and cars that are dotted all over the Palouse. It’s great fun. This image is an old house I found and then worked in post processing. I did a single image tone map then using silver effects pro did a fun BW toned conversion. Shot with a Fuji XT1.

This Is The Palouse

I am in the Palouse for a week. I’ll be running a workshop here for photographers using Phase One cameras. The Palouse is located in southeastern Washington state. It can be compared to the Tuscany of America. rolling hills with wheat and neat little farms, and all sort of surprises. I have been coming here for years and always leave with some beautiful images. This image embodies the Palouse, golden fields, windmills and lonely trees. Look for more to come.

Heading Out Again – Palouse Bound

The Palouse Landscape, Simple and Beautiful (Click To See Larger)

I am heading out early tomorrow to lead a workshop in the Palouse. This is one of my favorite areas in the country to photography. Kind of like the Tuscany of America. Rolling hills and big skies. Our workshop will be shooting at harvest time. This is the time all the fields have turned from green to gold. And , the farmers with their combines start to cut down the wheat. This means everyday will be different. There are new patterns and things to shoot all the time. This image was made a few years ago but to me is what the Palouse is all about. Simple and beautiful landscapes.

Since I am in America and have internet we will continue to post articles and images directly from the workshop.
