Axel Strakeljahn: Port Commissioner Candidate

  I've always been interested in politics, and having befriended a few candidates in the local elections, it was high time that I photograph a political event.  Because it was held inside, it required some prep on my part. The morning of the event, I took a ferry to Seattle, where I visited Glazer's Camera Shop for the first time, and rented a Canon f/2.8 24-70mm lens. I could get lost in there. Did you know it's actually two locations? There's a rental side (where I rented the lens) and a store location, where I bought my new camera bag!
Of course, my mom and I took the ferry back, too, which naturally, meant a lot of seagulls! What better way to test out the rented lens?

Whale Watching!

I bet you thought I disappeared, huh?  I kinda fell off the face of the earth after my trip to North Dakota, and just realized that I never posted my photography from my camping trip up at the northern border!
Without further ado, here they are!

Before leaving, we all met at Purdy, near Bridgeway Market.
