I have been editing my images (thousands) from the trip to the Palouse a few weeks ago. I came across this one and I think it say and describes what the Palouse is all about. What a beautiful place.
Simply The Palouse
Tag: Image Of The Day
Big Interior
In downtown Indianpolis there is a huge building known as the Masonic Lodge (Temple). I was fortunate enough to take a number of interior shots of this interesting building. This image is 5 images stitched together. Shot with a P65+ (60 mega pixel). You can only imagine the detail revealed in this huge image. You can see the screw heads on the outlets. Processed using Capture One and stitched in PhotoShop.
Alabama Jacks
It’s time to switch it up and move to other material then Palouse images. I have plenty more of great Palouse images and you’ll see those over the coming weeks. A few weeks ago I took a holiday with my oldest son and traveled from Naples area to the FL Keys together. It was an extremely good time. One of the stops we made while traveling through the Keys was a bar known as Alabama Jacks. Great food right on the water the place had a special kind of charm. I have my iPhone with me so I shot a fe images and then worked on them on my iPad. Here’s one of my favorites.
Old Truck
The Palouse is full of old trucks. Vary rarely though do you happen to find a garage where you find an old 1940’s vintage truck just siting there like it was parked yesterday. This one place I found was completely untouched with magazines dating to 1945. Kind of amazing it has lasted this long. Anyway I took a lot of images in this garage. This is a shot where I worked on it a bit to make it feel older. I hope to soon be sharing some of the dramatic landscape images.
Light Bulb
One of the cool things about the Palouse is there are a lot of old things just left sitting out. I found an old barn and in this barn was an old truck, tools and all sorts of cool stuff. Magazines dated back to 1945. What a place. I shot the heck out of this place and you will see more photos. This one is so simple it works. A light bulb. An old light hanging from the ceiling. I hope you like the subtly of it.
This Is The Palouse
The above image pretty much says it all about the Palouse. I head home after a week here shooting and leading a PODAS workshop. It was a lot of fun. We had 28 attendees from around the world and made some new friends. Photography open so many doors and it so much fun to meet people who have the same passion. What a great week.
Harvest Time
I am about to leave the Palouse after a terrific workshop. The attendees were great and the photography was outstanding. So much fun and a lot of great new friends. I don’t even know where to begin to describe this event and the images made during the event. All good. You’ll se more here over the coming weeks. Today’s image is what the Palouse is all about. The harvest of wheat and other crops. It is an amazing place and you just have to explore it, take a dirt road and see where it leads you. The light is magical and the landscape goes on forever.

Palouse Truck
As you may know by reading the blog I am in the Palouse running a fun and exciting workshop. Visit www.podas.info to view the images and activities. This image was taken at a property near endicott. This very nice and interesting man has built an old time Texaco gas station out in the middle of no where. There are old cars, old gas pumps and other cool stuff. This is the from of one of the old cars. There are so many good images coming out of this trip. I’ll have more soon.
Simple Does It
I have arrived in the Palouse. I picked up some of the instructors for the workshop and we went shooting. When in the Palouse sometimes it is the simple shot that just works. A week of photography in a beautiful area at harvest time. How cool is that!!!
The Palouse
Tucked away in the Southeast corner of Washington is an area known as the Palouse. It is roughly a three country region of the most fertile soil in america. It’s also a photographers paradise. Gently rolling hills, big skies, farmland, plowed fields as far as the eye can see. Throw in old barns, lonely trees and abandoned properties and you have a place that a photographer loves. I am leading a PODAS Photography Workshop in the region for the next week. There are 28 attendees and with staff and wives I am guiding 40 people. I have a team of great instructors and staff. I’ll try to post an new image from the thrip each day. Here is an image then on a trip in the spring. You can also follow this trip in more detail BY CLICKING HERE.
