I’ve decided to start a theme of posts, “photos I shot while on assignment for something else,” after finding this photo still hanging around on my computer. It’s from awhile back, but it’s a place to start. This is a creepy stairway I encountered while visiting potential power generation sites on the Yakama Nation awhile...
