about
my name is anne archambault and i’m a french-speaking québécoise in exile. i currently reside in seattle where i design software. i love the outdoors and spend many a week-end exploring the nearby cascade and olympic ranges. when time permits, i like to travel to more exotic venues. many of the images on this photoblog have been taken over the course of these local and more far flung escapades. when not away from home, i try to post new images on a regular basis.

i retouch most of my pictures – from mere cropping and tonal adjustments to more radical perspective shift or artifact removal through cloning. I also like to play with an infrared filter and to stitch images together.

please post your comments and suggestions. I can also be reached at blog{at}wideangle{dot}ca.
