Visit to Redmond (2007)

In June 2007 we visited Ben in Redmond, bringing several prints we bought in Japan. Ben took us to see the new Olympic Park sculpture garden of the Seattle Art Museum.

These pictures were taken using a Minolta Stylus 400 digital camera, 2272x1704 pixels, JPEG compression. Photos were retrieved using the intrinsic USB mass storage capability via the Linux generic USB storage driver. Editing was with GIMP v2.2.10. Copyright © 2007 by James F. Carter. Feel free to download any of the images for personal use; just give me a photo credit. Contact me for unedited images at 2048x1536 pixels (JPEG), specifying the filename shown by your browser. <jimc@math.ucla.edu>
