iPhone shot and processed

Just a short 3-hour drive today to Ellensburg, WA. Set up camp and drove into town to check it out and take a walk around town. Wouldn’t you know it, it’s a super cute downtown with tons of historic signs and old buildings. Did Cliff bring his camera? Nope. So iPhone shots it was. I need to work on going back downtown with my camera for some proper photos.

I kicked myself for not bringing my camera and resigned myself to iPhone shots. I wasn’t expecting much to be photoworthy in town, and my main concern was food; I was starving. Learned another lesson today.

Taking two days here to take a break from driving. Planning a nice hike tomorrow and hopefully some photography time and reading.

I took a picture of the community bulletin board because you can always get a good feel for the town by looking at what’s posted. I’m trying to snap a photo of every board I come across; I think it will be neat to look back in 20 years at what was posted. Now it’s on the internet forever.
