The journey begins.

Welcome to our blog. We are photographers Heather Wallace and Ali Lockwood.

We are underway in the planning stages of our mission. How did this idea come to be? Heather has a goal to become a photographer for National Geographic. A pretty great goal! In fact, such a goal has inspired this project. Heather talked about how she would like the Cascades and other national parks in Washington State be more widely acknowledged. During a trip to Utah, I traveled through the Central Cascades, known as Snoqualmie Pass. It was then that I understood the importance of Heather's mission and immediately sent a text message telling her that I understood her desires.

A trip was planned. Just a small trip to just see the place. However, that tiny idea expanded when we learned of a site called kickstarter.com. Where you can post a project or idea and hope that others will like the idea or project and make a donation. There are incentives or rewards depending on how much you donate. We decided that was an opportunity to take this small trip and really go for it. This is a chance to take what was a leisure trip to a real mission, to help Heather bring awareness to the national parks in Washington State.

It was decided, that our first trip would be the Central Cascades. Our end goal is to produce a beautiful photo essay book and have a gallery showing event. So, keep coming back and watch out for updates and progression of our mission. Website will be up soon and check us out at Facebook "Two Women, One Mission."


See ya around!
