Migrating from FB and Insta to here. Will post good photography, PNW and wherever I go, as usual. (Occasionally will post AI stuff. I like images.)
Olympia. From Saturday night's walk/photo shoot. The colors created by my Leica X1 (2009) are so natural they are keeping me away from the BW I have been doing lately. These scenes call out to be photographed -- to me anyway. @olympiawashington #oly #olympiawashington #color #leicax1
A bench on State Avenue, Olympia. The mural isn't graffiti and the trash isn't necessary. #olympiawashington #stateavenue #street #urban #trash #leicax1 #blueskyartshow

Almost forgot to post about #WorldPhotographyDay! Here is my latest ‘best’ photo - a triptych that was included in the South Puget Sound Regional Juried Art Exhibition. Happy to say! #worldphotographyday #percivalcreek #spscc #leofullergallery
A memory: Late in my IT career I was invited to give the Keynote talk at a Program management conference in Sydney Australia. I didn't bring my Leica M3 -- it was giving me some trouble and so I brought my new digital Canon G1. New to digital so not the best results. Oh well. #bw #sydney #monochrome
I love, love, love beach roses!! This one was along the Interpretive Trail in Tumwater, Washington. #beachrose #wildrose #wildflower #summer #rosebud #leicadlux #color #redandgreen
The color version was selected by Luminous Landscape out of the collection of examples of composition from members. I'm proud of that as LL is one of the best sources of advice re: photography on the web. The BW version was submitted to the Monochromists group on Facebook, theme: Full Tonal Range.

I'm pleased that my entry into the 2026 Southwest Washington Juried Exhibition at The South Puget Sound Community College, Percival Creek Triptych, was accepted by juror Allison Hyde! This is my fifth year entering. I had the honor of being included the 1st time, now the 5th! An honor! #photography
