I am fortunate to live in a beautiful place, so I am always inspired. The last four stories were inspired by the town of Snohomish, a few miles from my home. It is a small city along the river, and the stories take place in a fictitious coffee shop on 2nd Avenue. The town is full of antique shops and small local businesses and recently suffered from the severe winter flooding we had in this area. Despite the damage, the spirits of the locals remain high. Every time I visit, I’m greeted kindly.
One of my favorite antique shops has incredible lighting for photography. I bring my camera and ask permission to take photos. I’m not a professional and have no training, but I get pleasure and inspiration from composing the shots and seeing something that may inspire me later. I never edit the photos, as I feel some kind of attachment to them in their original form. This morning I created a set from my Snohomish photos, to give you a better idea of the location where the last four stories were set. The photos feature Creative Commons – Noncommercial - Attribution – ShareAlike licensing, so you may reuse them according to the license.
My next set of stories will take place on the beaches of the Pacific Northwest and I will share my beach photos as well.
