For those of you who purchased Kurt's photo, "Mandatory Evaluation," I took mine to a framer here on Bainbridge Island yesterday and he took a good magnifying glass to it. We spent about 30 minutes just looking at the fine detail in that photo, particularly below the ominous cloud bank and at the water line with the breakers. It is magnificent! In fact, I went right over to the stationer's shop and purchased a good magnifying glass so as to view this detail in my print. Kurt, it will be hung in the library of the new place here and will be a real topic of conversation. On the opposite wall, I hung the sunset photo with birds at the waterline that you recently sent. A little piece of SoWal right here in the great Pacific Northwest! Perhaps I should get a photo of Mt. Rainier for Conch Out.....

Hope everyone is having a funn spring break and staying safe. Every spring, I recall with mixed emotions the headline from The Sun:

"Yet Another Northerner Drowns in Surf" Donna

Re: Kurt's "Mandatory Evaluation"

you can order any SoWal / Moon Creek Studio photo you see online for $150. Signed and numbered prints are on 13"X19" matte paper, unframed. Actual image size is around 10"X15" for most images (panoramas are shorter).

Just right click on any image and then click properties to see the file name at the top. Example: 050411-grayton-004.jpg.

Send me the file name(s), a check for $150/image, and your mailing address, as well as phone and/or e-mail in case I need to contact you. Or, you may pay by credit card through www.paypal.com, make payment to paypal(AT)mooncreek.com (replace the (AT) with @), and don't forget to include the file number.

Thanks! ;-)

Re: Kurt's "Mandatory Evaluation"

Mandatory EvaCuation (sp?) is absolutely gorgeous, as is the sunset with the birds. :clap_1:

Don't you just hate it when you have a typo in a thread title, Donna? Lord knows how many times I've done that. I mean, I must edit every post at least once. OCD?:idontno:

:blush: I am soooo embarrassed...."MANDATORY EVACUATION," of course! Could have been a lot worse, pals: Mandatory Ejac-------. 😱 And I probably will get kicked out of the site for that one. Just call me Ms. Malapropism.

Thanks for posting this remarkable photo again, Kurt. It was just such a thrill to view the detail through the magnifying glass, which provided such depth. After seeing in that way, I opted for a different mat, which created yet another level of depth. It is mounted in a chalk white mat with a simple black beveled frame and will go on one wall of the library that is awash in high-intensity light (UV glass, yes).

Kurt, you would lose your mind over the photo opps around here. Why, just the view of Mt. Rainier from the Bainbridge Island Ferry is a heart stopper, as is the panoramic view of the Olympic Mt. Range one gets when driving over to the discount haven across the bridge known as Silverdale. Better there than here. After dark, it is like driving inside a pinball machine! Not everything out here is beautiful.

Beautiful. Which storm is this?

The date was 7/9/05, the eve before Dennis hit. All the debris was from TS Arlene which wiped out every walkover rebuilt on low beach made vulnerable from Ivan the year before.

That is a fantastic photo Kurt!

It looks as if it was a panoramic setting but I'm curious about the curvature of the clouds. Was it a fisheye lens or is that the natural shape of the storm or something else? 😱

Pretty much how it looked - surreal.
