At The Herald we are accustomed to our photographs printed on pulpy newsprint, which, once read, is quite often laid out on the floor for the new puppy, folded as liner inside the trash can, or used as fish wrap. Yet we still like to talk about those pictures.

Job On-A-Stick (Check out the first column in Thursday's Herald)
Posted at 12:02 pm by Kevin Nortz
Viva Polaroid! Maybe I'm a bit late with that one, what with Polaroid going bankrupt and ceasing production, but I can't get enough of Polaroid film.
All summer long (and by summer I'm referring to the months of June through August when it is not supposed to rain!) I will be shooting the last bit of Polaroid film I own. Running around Snohomish County trying to capture the horror that is known as "The Summer Job."
We all had one. Heck, I had about three in any given summer. I specifically remember working for a bagel company next to a 400 degree oven in June! In Ohio! If that's not bad enough, my hair stunk of garlic, and my hands reeked of bleach (I had to wash walls down with bleach and a piece of steel wool) all summer long.

p.s. hilarious uniforms are a HUGE plus. ... [Read More]

Farm Dreams

He is a very busy man. He runs a business delivering boxes of organic food in three counties. He runs a farm, 37 acres. It's a labor intensive farm, involving plowing, planting, weeding and more--all the hard way, because it is organic. He also has horses, cattle, chickens, goats, dogs and kids. Lots of kids. Eight all together, from 1 to 16. That’s a newborn every two years for a long while.
The sweet moment between Tristan and his daughter is like countless other times I've seen him stop in the middle of whatever work he was doing to pay attention to one of his kids. This time, it is Madeleine, who has something to say about the family cat. ... [Read More]
