Hyper View of Mount Rainier
Poetry By Dead Men
In “full confession” mode, I’m here to tell you I have nothing new to offer. I have not made a single image since the Before Times. That’s more than three years without loading the camera, finding the scenes, composing the image, and tripping the shutter. It is a dissatisfying mental place to be, but I just haven’t wanted to create any images.
So from this melancholic zone, I’m reaching into my box of treasures to offer you some images from those whose work has inspired me, and from whom we will be seeing no new images. I’ll try to have some new images for y’all next time around. Continue reading
Four from Don Lopp

Don Lopp d20 submission
Note: Don Lopp passed away February 24, 2019. Bob Venezia has graciously continued to allow Don’s slides to circulate.
This is Don Lopp’s contribution for loop d20, grandfathered in from loop 20 of MF3D Folio II managed by Brian Reynolds.
Waterfall
This spindly waterfall on the Sunrise side of Mt Rainier no longer exists. It was wiped out years ago by a mudslide. I think I’m the only one who ever noticed it! I’ve shown this slide to dozens of park rangers over the years and they always ask, “Where is that?”
Seattle Skyline from Kerry Park
The classic view of Seattle from Kerry Park on Queen Anne hill. Shot with 2 Mamiya Press cameras triggered with an air bulb. At least 10 feet separation and 150mm lenses.
Don Lopp passed away Feb 24, 2019. His mastery of craft and is impeccable eye missed. He was a generous and helpful man. [JRT February, 2019.]
Mount Rainier
Taken with my homemade camera. Taken from the Sunrise side of Mount Rainier. It’s August, and the flowers are mostly gone. In July there would be red and blue flowers everywhere. I exposed for the foreground, not the mountain.
