Port Townsend in Worldwide Photowalk

Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photowalk happened on Sunday October 1st this year in Port Townsend. I decided to photograph other photographers for the day and ignore the Kinetic Skulpture Race, which I’ve shot several times before. Here’s a Flickr slideshow of more photos from that day.

Classic Old Boat at Port Townsend’s Wooden Boat Show

Most Unusual Christmas Lights

I’ve never seen anything like this, with flexible tubes running across the roof like a technicolor mohawk haircut. The parallel red lines are from a passing car. The house is on 19th [...]
