Washington State History Museum

Last spring, the Washington State History Museum and Storyline Studio set us out on a whirlwind road trip covering a portion of the states geological treasures. Due to the tight timeframe we calculated that I only had three hours at each location to photograph. The trip in total was close to a month on the road, driving and shooting the entire time. Our journey was filled with joy, frustration, illness, navigational nightmares and awe at other times. I haven’t had a chance to check it out in person but here are a couple semi-permanent display prints that the museum created from the assignment.

Killing time waiting for good light.



Some days were better than others... 1DX down and a brand new Zeiss lens


We had a difference in opinion on the map at times.
