I took this photo a little over a year ago in Mulegé, Baja California Sur. I'm usually running six months to a year behind on my finished printing. The process goes like this: after developing the film and making contact sheets, I edit and select the negatives I want to print. I then make a bunch of work prints on resin coated paper. The work prints that I like, I keep out on my light table or stick up on the wall by my desk. After a while, if I still feel good about the photo I'll make a nice fiber print. I tone those finished prints with selenium or sepia toner. Finally, I hand color the photograph if coloring works with the subject.

Lunch stop, House of Omelettes, Eureka, CA. Good food, friendly people!
Self portrait, Crescent City.
Crescent City Lighthouse. From a distance it looks like something out of a Hitchcock movie.

I went on a quick road trip this week. Santa Cruz to Portland via scenic highways 1 and 101 and Portland back to Santa Cruz on less scenic I-5. The purpose of the trip was to bring my daughter home after her second year of college. It turned out to be more driving than photo taking but I did make a few snapshots along the way. On the first day, when I got to Fort Bragg all the shops were closed and the streets were almost empty. This store window caught my eye.
Above is “glass beach”, Fort Bragg, CA. It used to be the town dump now it’s a tourist attraction! Over the next few days as I develop film, print and edit photos I’ll post more.

This guy paints on Pacific Avenue, displays his wares and sometimes walks around shirtless with his guitar. He mentioned that he "really needed to get thirty bucks for the painting".

"In economics, a recession is a business cycle contraction, a general slowdown in economic activity over a period of time. During recessions, many macro economic indicators vary in a similar way. Production as measured by Gross Domestic Product (GDP), employment, investment spending, capacity utilization, household incomes, business profits and inflation all fall during recessions; while bankruptcies and the unemployment rate rise."
