An image from some years back that I reworked today. It is of a stretch of abandoned highway that is sometimes used for backcountry packers to get to a wonderful campground directly above the ocean. It is near Stone Lagoon in Humboldt County near Patrick’s Point State Park.

HISTORIC HUMBOLDT PHOTOGRAPHS FROM 1980 THROUGH 2018

Posted on October 7, 2018 by Thomas Bethune

Over the coming days and perhaps weeks I will be posting images from my archives. I spent time photographing the areas around Humboldt Bay and the nearby cities of Eureka and Arcata. The imagary from 1980 through 2004 were either black and white negative film, or color slides. I scanned them to make “digital negatives” and processed them in Photoshop and Lightroom. Some of these are now in print form and on exhibit at The F Street Foto Gallery in Eureka. I hope you enjoy them.
