I'm excited to be back on the Spring Studio Tour on Vashon Island.

Stop #4, 2 miles from the north end ferry - makes a great first stop!
VIVA - Vashon Island Visual Artists
Step into a world of analog photography with Michelle Bates’ photos from over 30 years of making images with film and prints in the darkroom.
Michelle’s main artistic muse is a low-tech plastic camera called a Holga. Her images made with them on 120 black & white and color film include carnivals, festivals & parades, travel, nature, cityscapes, and portraits. Her images with “real” film cameras include Burning Man, and the series “After the Fire” made in a historic Vashon home.
Stop by to peruse decades worth of images, check out a Holga, talk photography, and page through Michelle’s book, “Plastic Cameras: Toying with Creativity.” Michelle is a sought-after speaker and workshop instructor and loves to share information. Framed and unframed prints, vintage prints, and art cards are available.
