What’s “This Is North Kitsap” About?

Hi, I’m Eric. I moved to Poulsbo, Washington, in the summer of 2004. I started this photoblog in the summer of 2009 as a way to get to know more of the people and places that surround me, and also to grow as a photographer. The photos on this blog are taken within 20 miles of my home.

I hope you enjoy these portraits. Please leave a comment on the photo pages or sign the guestbook – let me know what works and what doesn’t work. I welcome your suggestions on who or what I should shoot for this blog.

Where Is North Kitsap?

Some of you, I imagine, are reading from places far away. In case you’re not sure what North Kitsap means, hopefully this helps:

We are located in western Washington, only a few miles north and west of downtown Seattle. Since there are no bridges across Puget Sound, we rely on ferries – or the occasional drive through Tacoma – for transportation to the mainland. This helps keep North Kitsap relatively quiet and rural in nature despite its apparent proximity to the big city.

(Some might question the inclusion of Bainbridge Island as part of North Kitsap, but I live only two miles from B.I., so I consider it part of my community nonetheless.)
