Located just south of Spokane, in Washington state, The Palouse is a rich farming area area of some 3000 square miles. It is somewhat reminiscent of Tuscany, in Italy, except instead of vineyards the main crop here is wheat and Rapeseed (Canola).

The Palouse is also one of the most photographically exciting areas to explore, in large measure because it is capacitively unknown. It is not a national park, and there are little in the way of guidance to this area. The only one with which I'm familiar isRobert Hitchman's Photograph America newsletter – Issue #54.

In June of 2007, along with four other photographers, and friends, and Video Journal producer Chris sanderson, I spent a week photographing in The Palouse as well as the Mt. Rainier and Mt St. Helens arewas. This page contains photographs and anecdotes from that shoot.
