Interesting or not the local newspaper photographer of the 50's, Joseph Scaylea, who almost weekly had a black and white photograph featured in the Sunday paper had at one of his shows a multiple print named something like 101 views of Mt. Rainier or something like this. He was a popular hack of a photographer who took ever so romantic shots of this and that. As I remember the shots of the mountain he had some on farms from under and through the legs of cows that included the udders and daisies on the ground. He spent his life trying to be THE Mt. Rainier photographer. Nothing like beauty. In recent years, although deceived, he had a show in an Edmonds art gallery.

Lo siento, I didn't pay attention to the spell checker change it's deceased not decieved for poor gone Scaylea. How many times I wished the Stranger blog allowed editing of posts after posting.

@ 1 & 2-A hack Scaylea was not, technically great in an era that you needed skill, knowledge, and an eye to create a photograph.. Art it is not, but worthy historical documentation and journalistic photography of our area it most definitely is, thus the remarks are off-base and unfair. Spell check is the least of the problems with this commentary.

Her prints are lovely. I became enamoured with a few of them. And I get the "private love affair" thing. It's really odd to have such an experience with a nonhuman entity...watching it become a muse, and a driving force that can morph over time.
