Fun with Digital Photography
The Olympic Penninsula photos were taken using a Casio QV-100 digital camera. I used a Sony Mavica FD7 for the others. The Sony camera has a much better color balance, but I like the gloomy look of autumn on the beach.

The memorial was built to the original specs, rather than as a replica. It's how Britain's Stonehenge would look if it were intact and had been built using rebar and concrete.

Plan on a road trip to photograph the country, sell out, and turn it into a coffee table book with connected web page... If you include some vague waffle about America and nature and people living in harmony with fence posts, you could win a Pulitzer prize... -- BlankMark
