Works of Woodinville photographer to go on display in Lt. Governor’s office – (Or, My Brother Got a Gig!)

Several prints of Woodinville photographer Richard Mitchell will be on display in the office of Lt. Gov. Brad Owen Feb. 1 through April in Room 220 of the Legislative Building (State Capitol).

The display will feature landscapes, nature, and macro photography that capture scenery of the Pacific Northwest. Working in both film and digital media, many of Mitchell’s prints are created by “stitching together” a large number of individual images, resulting in finely detailed prints. Other images capture fleeting moments of time not easily seen without the aid of photography.

See the official announcement the Washington State Lt. Governor’s web site. – Congratulations, Richard!

I was in Los Angeles last weekend for something at UCLA. More accurately, I drove my son to something at UCLA.

My plan was to drop him off for his event and then drive to the Getty Museum to do some photography. I’ve been there a few times and I’m intrigued by the architecture and the light. I had some particular shot ideas in mind, mostly involving low-angle afternoon sunlight. However, things don’t always go as planned… It was raining.

I had just managed to reconsider my goals and develop some ideas about rainy, cloudly shots at the Getty when I found out that I would not have time to get over there and back to meet my son. So, instead, I ended up with about an hour and a half to wander about at UCLA in the rain.

I started in the sculpture garden at the north end of campus and took a few shots there – nothing that seemed to go anywhere though. Then I wandered over to one of the older buildings housing, among other things, an espresso shop. I killed a few minutes there and then left slowly. First I noticed a very interesting set of stairs between this building and an adjacent structure – hopefully I’ll get a photo or two out of that. Then I saw this empty patio with interesting lines and contrasts between the white table tops and chairs, dark colored tiles, and the black legs of the chairs and tables.

Dusk, Fletcher Meadow. Yosemite National Park. September 11, 2006. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell. (Sales)

The story: Fletcher Meadow borders Fletcher Lake, in the Yosemite National Park backcountry near the Vogelsang High Sierra Camp. On this late summer pack trip I had set up my camera near the west side of the meadow and as the sun quickly set, I tracked its shadow as it moved across the meadow. Mount Conness is in the distance.
