It doesn’t necessarily feel like spring here in the Pacific Northwest, but there are signs it’s inevitable. Flowers are sprouting, the snow is melting faster…

For a very limited time I’m offering 50% off any photograph that has snow in it! Below is a small selection. View even more WINTER PHOTOGRAPHS here

Sometimes you forget why. The other day I was reminded. Below is a photographic journey into the central Washington Cascades for a day of backcountry skiing.

After a week acclimating to sea level, and work, I’ve begun the enjoyable but tedious task of sorting through the 500+ photos I took from last weeks road trip to Steamboat. I’m curious as to what others do to organize photos.

The first two steps I typically take are pretty straight forward: download all the images onto my external hard-drive and then load them into iPhoto on my Mac. Using iPhoto I can scan through all the images very quickly, deleting those that are junk and noting the others that are keepers. The ones I find worthy, I open in Photoshop for any necessary post-processing, which I really try to limit because this is where hours, days even, can fly right by; time I’d much rather spend outside taking photos! Some of you may ask why I just don’t view and sort in Adobe Bridge. Good question…I do…sometimes. iPhoto just moves faster, that’s all.

Here’s one photograph from the trip, a frigid evening in Steamboat Springs, Colorado – “Ski Town USA”. I placed the camera on the railing of a foot bridge.

camera metadata:

• ISO 400

There surely are benefits to living on the water in West Seattle. The peaks of Olympic National Park Washington often come into view, but on mornings like this, blanketed in fresh snow with a rising sun illuminating the peaks, they remind me how fortunate I am to live in an area with such splendid natural beauty.

Back to work now…

Someone told me
April was supposed to indicate the first days of spring. Maybe south of the
border, but definitely not here in the northwest. Last weekend the mountains got
hit with a huge winter storm, offering up some of the best powder skiing all winter. Of
course, this just means we’ll be able to enjoy a banner season of spring ski
touring.

So although winter is still very present in many parts of the country, I am offering the 12 adventure photographs that appeared my Seattle photography exhibit at a
discount to the masses. If you haven’t seen these images, you can view
the online gallery here – http://mackieimages.com/photography/Globe_Gallery_Photography_Exhibition/index.html. These are
all limited edition prints (signed & numbered), so it’s pretty unlikely
you’ll see these shots elsewhere in these sizes. The prices include a mat, so at
only $150 your gain is my loss. Sizes vary slightly. The photos are roughly 10×19 or
13×19 (print size).

Don’t let winter slip by…or better yet, keep a piece of it
nearby at all times!

If you are interested in any of these photos, or others that appear on my photography website, please email me. Shipping is available.
