Year in Review
This recap of my year is, of course, different than everyone else’s. It is what I observed during various forays and from my perspective.
Salmon Runs
Salmon are the iconic fish of the Pacific Northwest of the USA. And, many species of salmon are endangered. My interest in the fisheries, science, and cultural issues was piqued…
Taxonomy Boot Camp
I’ll be speaking at the 2023 Taxonomy Boot Camp Conference about metadata quality.
Summer Trails
The summer of 2023 has continued to be a time of reflection. While smoky and hot on occasion, there have been stretches of pleasant days. I was able to navigate the highways and passes various times en route to new and familiar views.
Tree-sit Prints
Two 12”x18” silver gelatin prints of the Winberry Tree-sit in 2001 are on display at White Lotus Gallery in Eugene, Oregon, USA.
The Digital Archive
It's worth reflecting on the evolution of archives after 20 years of work with quickly changing technologies. The experience is invaluable as I make decisions and gives context to why I make specific recommendations.
Summertime
It’s been a fantastic summer in Seattle, from the MLB All-Star Week to a Latin American music festival and blue-sky days on the water.
Urban Hiking
An urban hike poses a variety of options for anyone interested in sightseeing, exercise, exploration, or simply clearing the mind.
