If you're pressed for time, just want to see some yummy food shots or take a virtual tour of Seattle with me and not read all my jabbering, come join me on Instagram! I'd love you follow you back. My handle is @a.snook Here're some snippets of what goes on over at my Instagram:
I was born in Ashland, Oregon. In the heart of the Rogue Valley, it is home of the hippies, the Shakespeare Festival, and Southern Oregon University. It is also home to Lithia Park, where you can drink disgusting mineral water from the drinking fountains, and feed millions of ducks (well, not legally, but we do…
Even though I lived in Portland for a long time, I hardly ever went to the zoo there. Here in Seattle, I've already been there three times! Apparently it's my sister's "go-to" spot, and it's good practice for photography. Plus, you can get a zoo membership here for 50 bucks and go as many times…

A couple weeks ago, I took my new camera out to play at Discovery Park. It is Seattle's largest park! You can walk almost 12 miles of trails there - through the forest and along the beach, visit the lighthouse, all on what used to be the historic grounds of Fort Lawton. An essential part…
