Big mistake! Both the huge interior and the patio were packed, and there was a line waiting at the door. Luckily for me, co-owner Verne Howard kindly let me in with no better story than that I wanted to take photos for this blog.<br />
<br />
Full disclosure: I don't drink beer or any other alcoholic beverage. But I love the cordiality and aesthetic of the new brewery, and I think it's a great gathering place -- especially as one of the few places in Friday Harbor open after 7:00 p.m. Oh, and there's food too! (I just hope they plan to provide wireless.)<br />
<br />
Verne is also the owner of Friday Harbor's only two supermarkets, King's Market and Marketplace, so he is a huge contributor to this community. And I'm sure the new brewery will take its place as another of his important gifts.<br />

Basketball is considered one of the more extreme challenges of both a photographer and his gear, and I can now attest to that personally. But I enjoy a challenge, so I'm having fun and learning a lot. (Plus, I managed to get a number of photos from the first weekend into the San Juan Islands Journal and the San Juan Island Update.)<br />
<br />
The photos below are favorites of mine from the few games I've shot so far. They include Boys and Girls Varsity, and all are home games, starting with the Third Annual Tip Off Classic Basketball Tournament on December 2 and 3. The competing high schools you'll see are Seattle Lutheran, Meridian, Coupeville, Shoreline Christian, and Nooksack Valley.<br />
<br />
Truthfully, it was hard to whittle down the selection, as the Friday Harbor boys and girls are so photogenic on the court. But if you want to see lots more, you can head over to my new store at <a href="http://islanderimages.smugmug.com/" target="_blank">islanderimages.smugmug.com</a>.<br />
<br />
As in all my photography, I'm aiming to capture emotion, interaction, and the telling moment. Also, to me, part of the joy of this photography is that basketball is a kind of dance, with all the physical grace that implies. I don't understand basketball photographers who mostly zoom in to the upper bodies in landscape mode, because, just as in dance, an essential part of the story is in the feet! (I just wish someone would hire me to shoot some actual dance -- hint, hint.)<br />
<br />
For photography buffs, I'll mention that most of these photos were shot with various combinations of Nikon cameras D500 and D750 and Nikon lenses 24-70mm f/4 and 70-200mm f/4. Shutter speed was mostly a steady 1/1000. I'm now setting my auto ISO to a maximum of 51,200 for safety, but with my f/4 lenses and no exposure compensation, it has stayed between 6400 and 12,800 anyway. Just a few years ago, photos at such high ISO settings would have been too noisy to publish!<br />

I do own one for emergencies, but it's seldom turned on. When I'm away from my desk, I prefer to be away from my desk. When I'm walking around town, I prefer to be walking around town. When I'm with a friend or loved one, I prefer to be with a friend or loved one.<br />
<br />
My feelings are different, though, as a photographer. Cell phones, being the great distracter, give me the chance to photograph people up close without them ever noticing. And there's something about the cell phone that makes people reveal the most private and personal feelings, right there on their faces, right in public. With any luck, I'm there to capture those unguarded moments with a click.<br />

For most of that career, up to mid-2014, it was stationed right here in the San Juan Islands.<br />
<br />
As I write this, the state is trying to <a href="http://www.publicsurplus.com/sms/state,wa/browse/cataucs?catid=20" target="_blank">auction it off</a>, but no one's bidding! I have to admit, I was tempted. Wouldn't it be wonderful to live aboard a ferry? Well, maybe that's an outlandish dream for a single family to pull off. On the other hand, why doesn't Friday Harbor or San Juan County or the San Juan Community Home Trust buy it and convert it to apartments or dormitories to ease the current housing shortage?<br />
<br />
Save the Evergreen State!<br />

The event was held on a sweltering August 25, 2016, at English Camp, part of the San Juan Island National Historical Park. I was lucky enough to cover it for the San Juan Islands Journal.<br />
<br />
Speakers included Park Superintendent Elexis Fredy and Washington State Senator Kevin Ranker, along with an array of tribal elders. Highlights included the dedication of a Reef Net Captain Totem Pole by carver Charles Elliott of the T'sartlip Nation and two accompanying Salmon Story Boards by Jewell Praying Wolf James -- all now permanently installed at the camp -- plus two canoes newly built by Dean Washington of the Lummi Nation. There were also three birthday cakes from the park service!<br />

This year's, held on August 20, was the tenth and possibly final show, as founder and local textile artist Francie Hansen is retiring from organizing it. I covered it for the San Juan Island Update. It was actually my first time seeing the show, and I was glad I did!<br />
<br />
You may (or may not) recognize former World Wrestling Federation star Lisa Moretti in a hilarious take on the Bride of Frankenstein. Also of note is the lithe and limber Madrona Jameson of Spring Street International School, leading a flash mob dance.

It was good fun, and I got to photograph it for our local print newspaper, the San Juan Islands Journal. The race course ran along Park Street between Marguerite and Price, just west of Friday Harbor Middle School. There were divisions for several age groups, including adult!<br />

I love photographing kids! This year it was on May 7, and I covered it for the San Juan Islands Journal, our local print newspaper.<br />
<br />
A special feature of this year's festival was the appearance of some of the people helping with the upcoming first annual Hill of Thrills Soap Box Race, also sponsored by Island Rec.<br />

In this first post on Washington State ferries serving the San Juan Islands, I'd like to feature the newest addition to the fleet, the M/V Samish. The photo above and the next few, in fact, were all taken of the Samish on its official maiden voyage on June 14, 2015, as the ferry entered Friday Harbor. It was escorted into the harbor by Sentinel, the new fire boat of San Juan Island Fire District #3.<br />

I must admit, I find the Samish a particularly handsome ferry. I love its stately lines. Here are a few shots of the ferry front as it rested at dock in Friday Harbor on September 24, 2015.<br />

There's something especially magical about a night ferry. Here's the Samish arriving and docking at Friday Harbor on September 26, 2015, on the night of the full moon but one. I cheated a bit on the photo of the moon over the ferry: That's the exact size and position of the moon as it appeared, but to get the right exposure, I took a separate shot of it and pasted it in place.<br />

The photos above were actually from a practice shoot of mine for the next night, September 27, the night of the blood moon. The sun set a bit later on that night, so I got to shoot the ferry in the not-quite-dark for a different effect. Here again, for the final photo, a shot of the moon at the same size was pasted into place in the exact position it appeared in the original photo.</div>

Finally, here are a few detail shots -- a name sign, the anchor, and one of the towers. Notice the twin horns on the tower. These are what produce the Samish's distinctive two-tone blast -- the only one heard in the San Juan Islands. When we hear that, we know it's the Samish!</div>

Being an <a href="http://www.aaronshep.com/" target="_blank">author</a> and <a href="http://www.shepardpub.com/" target="_blank">publisher</a> as well as a <a href="http://www.islanderimages.com/" target="_blank">photographer</a>, one of my pet projects is to take candid shots of people reading books in public. Later, if you zoom into the cover, you can sometimes easily identify the book being read. Other times, you might see only bits of the title or author's name, and then identifying the book becomes a game. A little searching on Amazon is usually enough to find a match for the cover.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the shots I've taken around the Port of Friday Harbor -- most of them in the past year -- with the books identified in the captions.<br />

One Saturday afternoon last October, I was hurrying downtown in Friday Harbor to photograph the annual Farm Parade when I came upon the following scene in Sunken Park.<br />

<div>
I knew at once this was something new to me. The swords and protective clothing were too heavy for normal fencing, and the movements too aggressive and disciplined for fantasy reenactment or role play. But I only had time to snap a few shots before hurrying on.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Luckily, a woman walking the same way tipped me off that these two young swordsmen were regular visitors to the park. So, I went back two weeks later and found them again.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Their names are Mattias Anderson (pronounced ma-TEE-us) and Ellery von Dassow, and they're practitioners of an art called medieval longsword. It's part of an international revival movement called Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA). Though their swords are blunt, their movements are authentic, based on manuals written by German and Italian masters of the Middle Ages. The bouts have rigid rules, and protective gear is required!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Mattias and Ellery are both San Juan Island residents, though Ellery goes to university in Bellingham. The longsword events they attend are in Bellingham and Seattle. So far, they say, they're the only two longsword fighters in the San Juan Islands, but they hope others will join them. Weather permitting, they meet in Sunken Park every other Saturday at 2:00.</div>

Each year at Christmas, people of Friday Harbor come to watch the lighting of the trees at Memorial Park, accompanied by caroling and an appearance by Santa Claus. This year, kids and their caretakers gathered before the ceremony at the Whale Museum to make decorations; and afterwards, at the Brickworks, a community center, to make crafts with San Juan Island Parks & Recreation, enjoy refreshments provided by the San Juan Islands Agricultural Guild, meet characters from the Animal Protection Society, and have photos taken with Santa.<br />
<br />
We lucked out this year, with the ceremony landing in a brief respite from a week of heavy rain and high wind. I was especially glad, because this was my first paid assignment from the <i><a href="http://www.sanjuanjournal.com/news/360860071.html" target="_blank">San Juan Islands Journal</a></i>, and I didn't want to let them down!<br />
<br />
By the way -- in case you're wondering -- no, they don't string all those lights every year. The wires and LED lights are left in place year round but lit only for Christmas season. Don't ask me what happens if the tree grows!<br />

<br />
Bite of the San Juan Islands is a relatively new yearly event here in Friday Harbor. It lets San Juan Island restaurants and other food vendors offer samples of their wares to community members. These photos come from the Second Annual, which took place on October 25, 2015. Like the First Annual, it was held at the Brickworks, a community center created from a restored brick factory. It was organized by Richard and Sherry Daly of San Juan Island Cheese.<br />
<br />
As a photographer, what I loved most about this event were the wonderful faces, especially of the vendors. They showed so much character! You don't see so many faces like this in the chains and franchises of the mainland.<br />

The town of Friday Harbor -- named after the harbor that serves it -- is the largest town on San Juan Island, or on any of the San Juan Islands together. These islands lie a few miles off the coast of northwest Washington State, halfway between that coast and Canada's Vancouver Island. But even though Friday Harbor is the largest, it's really quite small. There's not a single traffic light to be seen, and a break in the water main on the town's main street easily made the hometown newspaper's list of top ten news stories of the year.<br />

It wouldn't be accurate to say Friday Harbor is cut off from the mainland. On the contrary, it's connected by some hefty underwater cables and an impressive if mostly aged ferry system. Yet it can certainly feel separate. The mainland is only a few miles away, but there are no bridges, and the ferry ride takes over an hour, even when skipping stops at other islands. When islanders visit the mainland -- as many do regularly for visits to Costco and such -- they sometimes call it "going to America." They see it as a whole different world.</div>

"You live on an island, you need a boat," says a frequent local ad. Well, not everyone in Friday Harbor owns a boat, but there are certainly many boats in Friday Harbor. The Port of Friday Harbor, a public entity, owns and operates the largest marina in the San Juan Islands, with about 14,000 guest boat nights each year. Also under Port aegis is the adjacent Spring Street Landing, which docks excursion and tour boats. These include two restored tall ships that call Friday Harbor home -- the Spike Africa and the Dirigo II.<br />

Arriving in the harbor by ferry, excursion boat, or biplane, there's no trouble reaching Friday Harbor's downtown. In fact, it has only one major street -- Spring Street -- and that starts at the harbor. Most of the town's stores, restaurants, and lodging are within a few blocks of Spring Street, so you can reach almost anything on foot within minutes. And Spring Street is also a great place to sit on a bench and watch the town go by.<br />

Part of Friday Harbor's charm is the total absence of big-box stores and national chains and the near-total absence of franchises. There's no law against them, they just don't get permitted. And it's not that islanders don't frequent such businesses -- they definitely do -- but they prefer to do it on the mainland or online. Restaurants especially are tightly controlled, as one couple discovered when they valiantly but vainly tried to open a Subway. There's no fast food in Friday Harbor! And you never need to refer to "small businesses" here, because there is no other kind!<br />

Friday Harbor is anything but a united community. There are factions here -- propertied retirees, younger alternative types, members of families that have been here for generations -- and that kind of division leads to serious political squabbles. Yet, when you meet people on the street or in the shops or at events, you can't help but think how friendly they are. It's not that the people are different, but that they're not as subject to the pushing and pulling that turn mainland residents into bundles of nervous aggression. In Friday Harbor, the smile is not an endangered species.<br />

Though not everyone is an artist in Friday Harbor, the arts are important here. Some of the work produced is very fine -- and though some of the rest may not be up to big-city standards, islanders tend to be generous in their appraisals. Galleries feature the work of local painters, sculptors, potters, and photographers. Community theater productions play to sold-out houses. Local bands range from jazz to rock to country, and the city hosts not one but two African marimba bands.<br />

In a way, Friday Harbor seems defined by its community events, both large and small. On the large end is the Fourth of July parade, which may seem to have almost as many marchers as onlookers. Even bigger is the annual county fair, complete with competitive exhibits, stage shows, foot races, zucchini races, benefit cookouts, displays of horsemanship, and carnival rides. It seems to draw almost everyone in the county for at least a few hours out of the few days it's held. Smaller events are spread throughout the year, often competing for attenders on the same weekend.<br />

Islanders have a love-hate relationship with tourism. On one hand, few care for the way visitors overwhelm the streets and ferries in summer. On the other, the island economy largely depends on the money they spend, and many businesses would simply disappear without the annual summer hordes. (I do enjoy photographing them, myself.) Even with all the tourists, it can be hard to keep things going financially, for individuals, businesses, even the city and county governments. Many islanders work several part-time jobs to make ends meet, and new businesses often appear and disappear quickly. Not many young people can afford to stay, especially with the scarcity of rentals and their rising cost. Most of the island population is either very young or very old, which makes things a bit unbalanced.<br />

San Juan Island's one claim to historical fame is also a reflection of the spirit of this community. The Pig War took place in the 1800s, at a time when both the United States and England claimed ownership of the San Juan Islands. It is perhaps the only military war in which no one was killed -- that is, if you don't count the pig. English and American soldiers faced off for twelve years -- meaning they built camps on opposite ends of the island, held joint social and athletic events for the men and their wives, and generally waited for the powers-that-be to negotiate the islands' fate. English Camp and American Camp survive today as two segments of the San Juan Island National Historical Park, attracting many visitors -- though, truth be told, the charm lies more in the story than in the few remaining buildings.<br />

Friday Harbor has no shortage of major parks around it. Besides the historical park, there is the Lime Kiln Point State Park -- a.k.a. Whale Watch Park -- which features not only whale watching but also the lovely Lime Kiln Lighthouse. San Juan County Park is just to the north of that, and the island also features several preserves in the care of the San Juan Preservation Trust. As if all that was not enough, the breathtaking and spacious Moran State Park is just a short ferry ride and drive away, on Orcas Island. And pieces of the new San Juan Islands National Monument are spread throughout the islands.<br />

Though Friday Harbor and San Juan Island are nearly synonymous in the minds of most islanders and visitors, the island does have one additional town -- the tiny resort town of Roche Harbor. It's popular for yachting, for weddings, and for browsing among the street stalls of artists and artisans. There's a historic inn, a formal garden, and relics of the lime works that are the town's origin -- though the posted historical information discreetly avoids focusing on the working conditions of the lime workers.<br />
