Ever indebted to the great Kenny Easley for giving me my first job in photography. And many thanks to the brilliant @minakimes.bsky.social for sharing another slice of Kenny’s life.
Got a chance to interview Kenny about 10 years ago about how he published a newspaper about the Seahawks while playing *for* the Seahawks (new media before new media!), and this always stuck with me:

One of my all-time favorite photos of Ichiro. Love his athleticism and the faces of all the fans.

So cool to see him being inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame today!

When you live in the lower 48, sightings of the Aurora Borealis are rare, so when possible sightings were forecasts, I grabbed a camera and tripod and headed out into the night.

This was the view of the Rainbow Bridge in La Conner, WA.
