Mt. Rainier, the most iconic image of the Pacific northwest, went by another name.

Our people generally called it Mt. Tahoma, said Puyallup Tribal Culture director Connie McCloud.

Not only the physical relationship between ourselves and the mountain, but thats where our water begins. Thats where the gift of life comes from.

It means the source of the waters, or sometimes, mother of the waters. And it has great importance in the history of the Puyallup and several local native American tribes.

The change to Rainier came about after George Vancouver spotted the mountain in 1792 and renamed it after his friend Peter Rainier, a British admiral who fought against Americans in the revolutionary war.

The Puyallup River is a river in the U.S. state of Washington. About 45 miles long, it is formed by glaciers on the west side of Mount Rainier. It flows generally northwest, emptying into Commencement Bay, part of Puget Sound.

As a photographer and artist, I like exploring the interesting visual world around me. The images you see here are about nature, beauty and the magical relationship between the camera lens and the human imagination. It's my desire to reflect and express the harmony found in natural textures and man-made structures. My greatest pleasure comes from working with the creative canvas that nature offers. The use of digital camera equipment to capture images and using innovative editing software, I am able to create and offer some unique works of Art. Come and enjoy this journey with me. Thanks for viewing and I hope your selection will be treasured.
