Scenes

Recently we have been revisiting our scanned photographs. There are so many fabulous images! While the images in the book hold a special place in our hearts, there are so many others we didn’t include—it is enough to make us want to write another book! Sadly, lack of information was often a cause of an image not making the book. Of course if we had had unlimited information, choosing what to include and what to leave out would have been a Herculean task! Perhaps we should be grateful…

Here is a gem we know nothing about:

We scanned this from John Kamb Jr.'s collection. We simply adore the composition; the “slice of life” vibe from people who don’t know they are in the camera’s eye. Sadly, we didn’t know much about it so it was left behind.

And in this so-far-snowless winter (for us anyway), Big Snow pictures are catching our eye. There was a massive snowstorm that hit Mount Vernon back in 1916, and the book has a few photographs from then (can you image ice-skating on Skagit River?!?); this one didn’t make it.

It is still great, but we had to make an executive decision.

Never fear photos, we love you all!
