I follow every backroad and freeway to see where they lead
And I look to the pages learned people read
I look at all the flea market uniquities and antiques,
And the things they’re liquidating at the chains and boutiques… — Amy Sell

Getting Lost and Finding Peace in Deception Pass State Park, Washington
Arguably the prettiest coastal state park in the country, Deception Pass earned a non-negotiable spot in our itinerary, but for a purely emotional reason: This was one of my late father’s favorite places.
A Good Day at “Work”: Shooting Eames in the Alley
On a good day, this is “work”. Incredibly fortunate timing provided the perfect natural lighting for a quickie photo shoot for our Vintage Shop.
Walk, Drink, Eat: Fairhaven to Bellingham via the South Bay Trail
Walk. Take pictures. Eat. Drink. Repeat. So goes our last (long, super-fun) full day in Bellingham. During our Fairhaven / South Bay Trail / downtown Bellingham trek, all five senses are in for sweet treats.
Bellingham, Washington: Ye Olde City of Subdued Excitement
Bellingham, Washington has rightfully earned its nickname: “the city of subdued excitement”. Bellingham boasts a stunning waterfront location, two historic downtown business districts, hundreds of miles of trails, Western Washington University, a variety of interesting restaurants, cideries and breweries, and other entertainment options not typically found in a city of 89,000.
Larrabee State Park in Bellingham, WA
The scenic route north on Chuckanut Drive winds through farmland and up the side of Chuckanut Mountain, providing teaser views of the Salish Sea and San Juan Islands. Upon discovery of the sweet campground and shoreline at Larrabee State Park, we decide to stay here for four nights and explore the area. By the end of our time in Bellingham, I will find myself dreaming about a life here.
Visiting Twin Peaks: Snoqualmie & North Bend, Washington
“I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange.” — Agent Dale Cooper
35mm Film Photography – One Hit Wonders: Oysterville, Washington
I am fascinated by the roadside oddities, quiet city streets, and man-made structures that have begun their return to the earth. Film seems an appropriate medium for capturing these less-than-perfect subjects.
