It felt SO GOOD to stretch my photo muscles and shoot a newspaper assignment again. I miss newspaper photography; it just doesn't get to happen much in this chapter of my life. My photos and story about Sequim's lavender farms are in The Seattle Times here.
World's worst photo assistants. I'd fire them, but I can't afford anyone else. They work for ice cream.
Your photos and story are beautiful! I loved reading them this evening (just submitted a ParentMap lavender article yesterday, so it was good timing) and am adding Jardin du Soleil to my list after seeing the cute goats.
