Bellingham: Day & Night


It's been quite awhile since I've spent much time shooting for the fun of shooting but my new photographer friend Jen Martin is always sharing the photos she's taken on her shooting adventures and she finally inspired me to get out there again. She and I met up on a cold Friday evening and did some night shooting together around downtown Bellingham. It's always interesting to document the lights and shadows of the night time world. Shooting with Jen inspired me to revisit a few places a couple days later on Sunday afternoon. Kicking around alleys with my camera is one of my favorite things to do... most people tend to avoid them but I love the "behind the scenes" stories they tell! You just never know what you are going to find in an alley. I also made a point of doing some shooting around the old Georgia-Pacific paper factory as it will be demolished soon... yes, it's a big eyesore but it's been a part of Bellingham for so long that it deserves to be documented. Oh how I wish someone would give me permission to go inside the gates for a few hours with my camera... and maybe Jen & hers too ; )
