Semiahmoo Spit, a long, narrow finger of land between Drayton Harbor and Semiahmoo Bay, was once a home to the Semiahmoo tribe, and, later, the site of a salmon cannery. This fish processing machine was patented in 1905 with the offensive racist name of the iron Chink. The name was an insulting term for the many Chinese workers in the US in the early 20th century. Each machine processed over 100 salmon per minute at the fish cannery on Semiahmoo spit, and eliminated the jobs of 15 to 20 workers, many of whom were Chinese. Nine such machines were used at the Semiahmoo fish cannery. The machine was painted a bright red, covered by a solid roof, and now sits outside a museum at the base of the Spit. March, 2020.
Welcome to my Vagabond Photography site. Much of my work is shot in Washington state, though I also wander other places in the western US and in southern British Columbia. I hope you enjoy the images of the places, things, and people that are displayed here. Vagabond Photography means seeking interesting, fun, remarkable sights, being a will-o'-the-wisp in search of the unusual, the beautiful, the engaging, and the truly awe inspiring. Perhaps you'd like to join me on my journeys. Welcome to my corner of the world! Welcome to Vagabond Photography, vagabonding (wandering) across the Pacific Northwest.
