Description for Puyallup River Flooding
A picture taken close up of the Puyallup River flooding over a road in Sumner, Washington during a bad rainstorm. I live close by, so I took a drive down by the river. Thinking back, I remember I was not able to drive into work this day because the roads I needed to take to get there were all flooded over.
I photographed the photo below in November of 2006. You can tell it was during Autumn with all of the leaves on the road. This road was not accessible during this flood. The Puyallup River is a river that floods often when Washington State gets a lot of rain. It usually does not get this bad, though.

I started out using 35mm point and shoot cameras, then upgraded to a 35mm DSL camera when I was in college. Finally, the world of digital DSL cameras was introduced. Gone are the days of having to wait for your film to be developed to see what you captured. From that point on, photography has been so much fun!
As a photographer, I draw inspiration from both the natural world and human experience. I strive to capture moments of raw beauty and to use photos as a testament to the power of storytelling through imagery. I am a firm believer that memories last a lifetime and are more precious than any physical thing you could own. Through my lens, I like to provoke connections between the viewer and any memories my photographs can bring back to life.
