To Utah and Back again
I drove down to Utah last week and took a few pix along the way with my Hasselblad. A continuation of my journey photographing small American towns.
Klickitat
This little town in southern Washington has klick in the name, so I figured why not take some photos of this charming little small town. It was a real nice change of pace, an exercise in slowing down. The town of 200 or so people is full of character and I plan to return when [...]
