Took the morning to drive up to the look out on I-90 overlooking the Ellensburg valley. Was hoping to get some great sunrise shot of the valley and the mountains in the distance. Unfortunately there is a storm coming in and it was cloudy and overcast. So I didn’t even get my camera out. So …

Last weekend the weather was a perfect for photography. I had the opportunity to take some senior photographs of a great young man named Joshua.
