Wood is one of the oldest building materials used by humans.  It is extremely strong, and, in the right climate, it is durable.  To a photographer, it is bliss.  The structure of the wood grain in planks, the many ways it is used in buildings, and the way it ages all make it photogenic. Although wood tends to rot more quickly in moist climates, and warp and split in dry climates, the beauty of it beams throughout its lifespan.

Today's blog is a collection of photographs that were originally made on Fujichrome Velvia slide film, and scanned.  The first three were made during several different photo shoots near McClure Beach,  Pt. Reyes National Seashore in northern California.
