Backyard Mary | Amite, LA | 2016 “There is a reason Mary is everywhere. I’ve seen her image all over the world — in cafés in Istanbul, on students’ backpacks in Scotland, in a market stall in Jakarta. But I don’t think her image is everywhere because she’s a

Traveler | Seattle, WA | 2016 Traveling light requires planning and courage. If done right, you’ll leave behind much that you always thought mattered, both physically and mentally.

Ravens | East Wenatchee, WA | 2016 Raven has a bad reputation: Dark Angel, Sky Omen, Bird of Death. But my own experience with Raven has been less gloomy and more playful. He’s a Trickster, cackling as he

Club House | Malott, WA | 2015 Decades ago, residents in the small community of Malott boosted their communal dream with a solid, four-walled prompt to make their town better. Headquarters of the Malott Improvement Club still sits not far from the post office. It’s like an
