Lost Children - a photo on Flickriver

Lost Children

            Moulton Falls footbridge near Yacolt, Washington     

The name of the town Yacolt comes from a Klickitat word for "haunting place" but, the area was also known as "the valley of lost children".   A bit creepy to be sure!  However, the area is absolutely beautiful and even though the rain was pouring down, I had no haunting feelings and saw no creepy kid ghosts.  The rain and wind made for an odd effect on the water. At first, I wasn't sure if I liked it or not.  I ultimately settled on the "anything different, is good" philosophy and went for it.    

I met fellow photographer Matt Straite here for a day of photography on his home turf.  We had a great day.  

One thing that I have always found extremely interesting is how two people can be standing in the same place, at the same moment, with the same (or in our case very similar) cameras yet, walk away with completely different photographs.   I have to admit, I love Matt's version and it was very difficult not to mimic it as I processed my own version.   In fact, I had to wait about a month after seeing it, to put it out of my mind and go my own direction lol.
