About the work

   

The images here weren't taken in extraordinary settings or under extraordinary circumstances. More often than not, they were taken on ordinary days, doing ordinary things: watching the dancing reflections from waves of passing boat traffic; a sunday afternoon drive through wheat and canola fields in eastern washington; looking at the corroded, rusty back-end of an old tugboat; an early morning walk on the beach, watching the moon set and finding a pile of fishing nets laying on the sand.

This blog is attached to my main photography site, h3images.com and is mostly about...photography. Fair warning though: because photography is about so much more than pointing a camera at something and firing the shutter, other topics and features that may not seem to be 100% photography related will seep in. Hopefully that won't be off-putting. If it is, just click "home" on the navigation bar above and go back to looking at images.

I hope what you see and read here will inspire and raise your awareness for all of the extraordinarily ordinary beauty which, as the old hymn says, “…over and around us lies...” Look around - it's everywhere!

Happy imaging -- bill

gear & workflow

Cameras: nearly all images on the site were taken with Nikon film and digital cameras; most native film images are from slides which were later scanned; digital images are generally shot using nikon's RAW file format.  Look here for a good discussion of why RAW is such a great way to shoot.

Workflow: my images aren't manipulated beyond basic levels, curves, white balance and sometimes slight saturation adjustments. my goal is to present images that are as close to original scene as possible. 

Printing: all printing is done with Epson printers using archival inks and matte papers, usually from Epson and Moab.

Grace Unbound

Last fall, Kayce (aka Lucy to some of you) decided to create a short book on the topic of grace....something we have experienced abundantly during the last several years. The writing combines Kayce's own words on the subject with favorite entries from others. She was also kind enough to make it a collaborative project with me providing the visual art. The result is Grace Unbound, published in November. Although we...or I should say Kayce, has gotten a whole bunch of copies into peoples' hands, I haven't done a very good job of letting people know about it in my small corner of the world.

If you feel like taking a flyer, you can order the book directly here, or drop me an email and we'll be happy to send you a copy - the cost with shipping is $22.  You will love the writing and I'm confident you will enjoy the images as well!
