Tokyo Bay at Night
When I'm stressed during the day, or working, I find solace in going out at night, exploring and taking photos of random things. This brings me peace.

The Road to Mt. Rainier
Photo Essay written 2 April 2008
The destination is never the focus of a road trip. The best experiences and photos are along the path to get there.
Rural Decay
In it's day this truck probably did an amazing job of transporting essential items from the big city into Elbe, Wa. It's tires are still filled with air, and it looks ready to go. But years of neglect has made this truck full of rust and character - a photographers delight!

A River Runs Through It
The only photo I took inside Mt. Rainier National Park, and that's because further on down the road from here is all snow and clouds. Just shows you that the road you take to your destination usually provides the best stories and photos.

Pointing To Heaven
It's one of those moments when you look at a location and then are just not sure what you need to do to capture all it's beauty. Dramatic clouds, a clear, pristine lake and a bunch of clear cut trees and random wood debris littering the beach. That is what I thought of as I made it to the north shore of Alder Lake on my way to Mt. Rainier. Saw this spot, set up the tripod, and came up with this. Speaks for itself.

Pray for Solitude
Churches like this don't happen by chance. When it was created years and years ago, they knew it's setting would not only inspire artists, followers of God, but also photographers and people who can admire a well designed building in an idylic area.
Elbe, Wa.

Some Trains Go No Where
The best part of a road trip to the destination is the time you spend getting there. Actually make it to Mt. Rainier was anti-clamatic. It was covered in snow and the clouds hid the top of the mountain. Luckily I found this decommissioned train on the side of the road in Elbe, colorfully painted and each car converted into either a hotel room or restaurant.

Stump Forest
On the way to Mt. Rainier I passed this lake with hundreds of clear-cut trees. Alder Lake in the summer time is a lake of recreation, but in the winter the water is low and there are no visitors. Just a lonely graveyard of tree stumps receiving the sunset.
