the silence of the north cascades [plate i].


















P L A T E   I
Skagit River Valley, Washington







[ Canon 7D / 18-55mm IS / circular polarizer ]








This image was made in late afternoon from the summit of Sourdough Mountain in North Cascades National Park, looking west down the winding Skagit River Valley towards Puget Sound, and beyond, while shafts of sunbeams filtered through the multitude of creek valleys all feeding the mighty Skagit.


It is the first of ten plates to be collected for this portfolio and journal project I am putting together – ultimately to be printed and made available as either a handbound book or individual, fine art fiber prints – and titling The Silence of the North Cascades. It is a multi-year, ongoing project from which I hope to capture – in my own words and photographs – the silence found in the high places of the North Cascades, and I will periodically write about my progress.


Please check back for the next plate to be posted in the coming month or so…
