Places I’ve been with cameras
Moving to the Columbia Gorge.
The house is sold. Part of the selling process was the Dismantling of the Darkroom. It was a very sad day. I tore apart the 7′ sink that I built, tore down the shelves, painted the walls white, and installed...
The Rainshadow
One of my favorite places for photography these days is the eastern Columbia Gorge. It’s really the “old west.” Once you pass Hood River going east, the landscape changes from the pine-encrusted rainforest west of the Cascades to the arid...
Infrared Church, Colton NY

Mt. Washington through trees, Oregon.
Gaia and I went to Sisters, Oregon last October. We plan to go back soon. Lots of potential photography.
Angel’s Rest Trail, Part 2
Adam Robins, a friend and fellow photographer, and I made it to the top of the Angel’s Rest trail today. I didn’t take as much gear, and I took more water. The trail was shrouded in mist, and a light...
