Sekiu

The mouth of the Sekiu River inspired me to try sand. Wind from the Straits of Juan de Fuca pushed waves into the outflowing fresh water. A precious S-shaped sand bar stayed for the summer.

The Woodman - casein only

Ebey Landing

We lived at Ebey Landing for a year. North by Northwest in Port Townsend sold my furniture & boxes.

Using casein emulsion, well dried, as a resist was one of the Sekiu experiments.

Low Tide. While we played on the beach, I felt for creatures whose water home became a smaller and smaller tide pool during very low tides.

The Photographer. Bubbles in the saltwater sand were large and persistent.
