the Long Shot, Pt. 1

On Friday June 17th, I headed out on the road with a couple of friends. Our goal was to take photos on the road, in support of Photographic Center Northwest & The Long Shot 2011. Many friends were going to do things in the Seattle area to support this non-profit, but the three of us had an idea in mind of a day trip, just to see something new and different.

We met at the ferry Terminal in Edmonds, we crossed water the to Kingston, then drove north towards Port Gamble, then towards Discovery Bay continuing on 101 through to Port Angeles, eventually reaching Sekiu where we had a motel booked for the evening. The following morning we woke up to go all the way to the tip of the peninsula in Neah Bay, then headed south on the 101 till we eventually reach Aberdeen, then crossed over to Olympia and about 24 hours after our departure time we reached Seattle (home).

Below are some of my fave images taken with my D90. I have a smattering of iPhone photos, as well as some Polaroids and 35mm film too... but wanted to start with these! So here goes!

these are great..I particularly like the last three. The fern shot is so expressive - even without color...and the last two of the beach are moody. Thanks for sharing them!
