Back to the West: Aberdeen, Hoquiam, and Grays Harbor, Washington (2024)

Aberdeen and Hoquiam are interesting old cities near Grays Harbor, Washington. They offer some of the topics that I like to photograph. Here are some more summer 2024 examples.

This ends this short trip to towns near Grays Harbor. There is more to see - time to return and explore some more.

I took these photographs on Kodak Panatomic-X film (expired 1989) using my Hasselblad 501CM camera and various lenses. All were tripod-mounted. Praus Productions in Rochester, NY, developed the film. I scanned the negatives with a Minolta ScanMulti film scanner.
