Kindergarten Pals Turned Great Photographers
February 23, 2025
Chuck Babbitt and Lance Kinney are two of my favorite photographers. I went to elementary school with both of them! We reconnected over Facebook and have been FB friends for at least a decade, maybe more now. Much as I have come to dislike Mark Zuckerberg and what his platform has become, I’ve been deeply grateful for the connections with friends, old and contemporary.
Chuck and Lance post a lot of photos on social media (grateful for that, too). I’ve been a fangirl since my jaw first dropped lo those many years ago.
Here are two shots posted in the past couple months. I can hardly take my eyes off them.
Lance’s photo from Whidbey Island area:

Chuck’s from somewhere on the Big Island:

Gorgeous, no?
