Howards' Story

Howard Frisk
​I consider myself to be a photographer turned author. I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. My very first camera was a Kodak Instamatic 104, given to me by my mother when I was young. Kodak released the camera in 1963, which used 126 film cartridges and flash cubes. It was this special gift that ignited my life-long passion for photography. After owning a series of Minoltas, Nikons and Canons and entering the digital age, my photography has developed to the point where my photographs have been published in numerous books, magazines, advertisements, calendars, and web sites. My work has been shown in art galleries in my current hometown of Puyallup, Washington, and they have been selected to be included in several juried photography exhibitions. Most recently, eleven of my photographs were accepted into the 2025 Cascadia Photography Exhibition and two into the International Photography Exhibition in Puyallup. 
 
Perhaps it is a natural progression, as these days I have turned my attention to writing books as a means to share my photographs of Washington State and Idaho, along with the intriguing stories behind them. In 2015 I published my first book, The Seven Wonders of Washington State, which highlights the most beautiful natural wonders of the Evergreen State. I recently completed a series of five book that explore ghost towns and abandoned places in Idaho.
