March 2026 was one of the most significant months of my life.
I’m not being dramatic. I closed circles I thought would stay open forever. I found a steadiness I’ve been chasing for years. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, I kept picking up the Ricoh GRIIIX and pointing it at things that mattered to me.
The Ricoh, my iPhone, and I covered some ground this month. The Little Squalicum waterfront, the BNSF trestle, my pier. Heather Meadows up near Mount Baker, which had some weight on it and still does, just different weight now. A solo day trip down through the Skagit Valley, La Conner, Mount Vernon, daffodil fields blazing yellow on both sides of the road. Downtown Bellingham on foot. The waterfront at different times of day in different kinds of light. Behind the scenes work with Marcus Badgely (Badgely Photography) at the Seattle Arboretum. And two concerts at the WAMU Theater.
And I took a lot of selfies this month. A lot of them. Smiling and feeling love in all of them, which is not nothing. That’s new. That’s the whole story right there if you know what to look for. The sunsets helped. March had some absolutely stupid good sunsets and I was at the pier for a bunch of them, camera in hand, grinning like an idiot at the sky.
Here’s what I saw, starting with what I listened to the most while shooting photos.
