Olympia. From Saturday night's walk/photo shoot. The colors created by my Leica X1 (2009) are so natural they are keeping me away from the BW I have been doing lately. These scenes call out to be photographed -- to me anyway. @olympiawashington #oly #olympiawashington #color #leicax1

A bench on State Avenue, Olympia. The mural isn't graffiti and the trash isn't necessary. #olympiawashington #stateavenue #street #urban #trash #leicax1 #blueskyartshow

Almost forgot to post about #WorldPhotographyDay! Here is my latest ‘best’ photo - a triptych that was included in the South Puget Sound Regional Juried Art Exhibition. Happy to say! #worldphotographyday #percivalcreek #spscc #leofullergallery

A memory: Late in my IT career I was invited to give the Keynote talk at a Program management conference in Sydney Australia. I didn't bring my Leica M3 -- it was giving me some trouble and so I brought my new digital Canon G1. New to digital so not the best results. Oh well. #bw #sydney #monochrome

The color version was selected by Luminous Landscape out of the collection of examples of composition from members. I'm proud of that as LL is one of the best sources of advice re: photography on the web. The BW version was submitted to the Monochromists group on Facebook, theme: Full Tonal Range.

Tumwater Falls raging in December, appearing to overflow the frame of the image. River gone wild. Monochrome.

Oregon Grape in the Washington State Forest. The leaves turn bronze when under stress, these are in a very sunny spot, I suspect that's what caused them to change into this gorgeous color. A standout at this time of year. #foliage #photography #oregongrape #bronze #leicaxvario #washingtonstateforest

The Gropius House -- from Wikipedia: "The Gropius House is a historic house museum in Lincoln, Massachusetts. Designed by Bauhaus architect Walter Gropius and his partner Marcel Breuer, a two-story, wood-frame structure - 1938." We visited in 2011 -- this shot was made with my Panasonic LX3.
