Seaview

21 October 2013:

Rika, Tony and I went for a walk along the beach at sunset again this evening. Rika caught me doing my photography thing, with Tony looking on. The bottom image is one of the more abstract images I captured on the walk.

Razor Clams

20 October 2013:

We are in Seaview, Washington tonight. Seaview is right on the Pacific, just north of Astoria, Oregon. The locals were out searching rather successfully for razor clams in the sand. There was a very low tide tonight, and that is when you go out and dig for them. The top image is Lily going out for a look, and the bottom image is the clam diggers. Rika gets credit for the setup for the bottom image - she took some very similar shots, and I borrowed the idea.

Leaves, evening walk

19 October 2013:

Lily and I went for a late afternoon walk from Rika's apartment down into Magnuson Park alongside Lake Washington. Leaves are turning, and the air was quite cool. There was a very heavy overcast sky, and this was taken just at sunset, so the light level was low but very soft. I like the result.

Successful Defense!

18 October 2013:

Rika successfully defended her doctoral dissertation yesterday. Following tradition in the Oceanography department, the successful candidate goes up to the third floor kitchen / dining area in the Marine Sciences building and pops the cork on a bottle of champagne, thereby putting a dent in a ceiling tile. The candidate then initials next to their mark. Rika managed to put a new dent for her doctoral dissertation right next to the dent from her masters dissertation!

Santa Monica Pier

7 September 2013:

I went north to the Santa Monica pier this evening in search of more material for this year's photo project. While there, I caught the sunset with a more 'traditional' photo. The clouds were quite nice. The pier was absolutely packed with people enjoying the evening.

At the beach

1 September 2013: 

Taken during a break in our walk through the Hermosa Fiesta this afternoon. Today's posting of ocean conditions at lifeguard headquarters said the water temperature was 70 deg F. Warm for here.
