Late afternoon light pierces the canopy of the Hoh Rainforest, illuminating the vine maples, club moss, and clover carpets below. Olympic NP, Washington, USA. You may have noticed I previously had zero green images in my portfolio, save for a corn lily abstract. I typically shy away from green/waterfalls, because I find it harder to differentiate from the crowd with that type of image. Well, I can safely say I've found some green scenes I love. I now have a Bollino-like obsession with vine maples, and I've garnered quite an affinity for carpets of clovers. This type of scene is probably now my favorite to shoot - there's very little time pressure like sunrises and sunsets, and the results can be much more dynamic than night scenes (the other slower, more chill/deliberate type of photography I enjoy). An Olympic-themed rendition of Dre's perennial classic "Let's Get High" was brewing in my head as I composed this: "Let's Get Hoh" / "Beaches and Hohs" When I'm shootin' these Hohs there ain't no gun involved No hugs, sun kisses, bear tracks, bare britches, rare beaches..
