This was the final photograph I made of Ronnie.

I took this photo as we waited for the ferry to Seattle to see his mom, Ardis. After our visit, Ronnie and I headed to Dick's at the foot of Queen Anne. Then I drove him to West Seattle, where he caught the ferry to Vashon Island, the place he called home. Tomorrow afternoon, Ronnie will be laid to rest in the family plot, a few miles from where he grew up.

The Wedding Photographers

On Saturday, I was shooting in Seattle, waiting for an event later in the evening. I happened across two photographers engaged in what I thought was a little bit of photographic overkill. Surely they didn't need two photographers, toting two cameras each, and two full backpacks full of gear, to create a beautiful image.

Surely it wasn't because one woman couldn't handle the job.

Then I realized, they are using Nikon equipment.

(This blog post is dedicated the lead photographer who said that I was welcome to take photos "even though I was using a Canon.")

The Cronkite Device

As a kid, I remember watching Walter Cronkite with a sense of awe. Here was the wise old man who heard everything and decided what we needed to know. Even as a kid I believed that his job was an extraordinary burden.

I wondered what it would be like, to know everything like Walter Cronkite did.

The reality today is that we do not have someone like Walter Cronkite to mediate between us and the news of the world.

There are days when I look at the Internet and wish that I could install a Cronkite Device, something that would help me make sense of it all.

I have been taking the same photograph for 20 years.

Serenity House Project

I have been documenting the final days of Serenity House, the former adult group home located on Bainbridge Island, Washington. It closed in March 2009, due to mismanagement, after operating successfully for several decades. The building and land were sold shortly thereafter.

I don't know the details about the problems. I do know the details, however, of the impact this has had on the lives of former residents.

After a couple of weeks of asbestos abatement, the walls will come down.

Rumor has it that another group home is going to be built on the property and that some former Serenity House residents will be invited back.

This project is dedicated to all those who called it home.

There are a total of 49 photos. Be patient and look.
