Just kidding, you can click it. :)

Hi, it's time for an update.

The Woods and the Sea is my new blog over on the tumblr platform. Cleaner, simpler. More photos, less junk.

But fear not, unicorn - this site will stay up for your viewing pleasure. Be sure to stop on over at http://blog.kamilbialous.com and say hi.

I recently took a road trip along the northern coast of Washington state upon the recommendation of a few people that it's an amazing place. True enough. I took a few photos along the way as we wound out way through Bellingham, Fairhaven, Skagit county and Samish Island, Edison, sprawling tulip fields along Chuckanut Drive, Anacortes, over to Whidbey Island - Langley in particular, then back to Mukilteo, Ballard, Seattle and the home to Vancouver. All in a three day weekend with plenty of time to drag our feet around.

Enjoy the photos.

This is a continuation of my previous post on this topic where I promised to put up some new stuff I've been shooting this spring/summer.

I've been visiting one location in particular and trying to learn to see it better. I find that each place has a way that it wants to be shown: its moods, colours (or lack thereof), contrasts, and little nuances like winds and clouds. I'm not trying to get all hippy on you and spoon feed you home made granola (nothing wrong with that, I love granola) but it's taken me almost 5 trips back to start realizing that I can't force my typical way of  shooting on this environment. I can bring some style and swagger, but too much and the pictures don't look authentic.

And if I don't have authentic - what do I have? Enjoy.
