Visit my NEW site and see some different photos presented differently.  It's a much slower site, due to the larger photos, but I hope you'll think it's worthwhile.  Let me know what you think.

Governor Evans, in 1974, was the first person to rappel down the clock tower at the Evergreen State College (I was a recent graduate at the time).  Everyone else got a photo of the whole clock tower.  I got close to the bottom, on a small hillock, with a 135mm lens and got the only shot taken with his face in the image.  I'm really proud of this.  But when I sent a copy to him, he never even acknowledged it.  Recently, the University of Washington wanted a copy for display, but they failed to contact me and ended up not using it.  While I love the shot, I guess the powers that be didn't.  Sad for me, and for them, too.

Personally, I think this is a great shot.
