This open pit salmon bar-b-que was photographed at the 46th Annual Yurok Tribe Salmon Festival in Klamath, California. A lot of the discussion focused on the collapse of the salmon fishery, central to the social, cultural, spiritual and economic life of the Yurok Tribe. The salmon tasted great.
Original slide shot August 16, 2009 with a tripod-mounted Heidoscop with Provia 100P at 1/50th at f22.


I noticed Dale Walsh also likes photographing in Mount Royal Cemetery, an oasis of calm in the middle of Montreal. Freezing rain covered the trees with ice and then a snow storm blanketed the tombstones. I like the way the trunk hides the sun in the left image, but it peeks out in the right image.
Wrought iron staircases are typical of Montreal, and I like the way Santa parked his sleigh on the top of the wrought iron staircase in this tableau.
Most of the homes in Verdun are simple brick rowhouses that all look much the same. With limited opportunity for originality in the architecture of the home, the people of Verdun go wild decorating their homes at Xmas and Halloween.
