I have been to Pendleton twice. That is clearly too few times. It’s almost Spring, and in this year of the COVID pandemic I am experiencing wonderlust. It may be time for a third trip. I am building a page about “Pendleton or Bust” in the Image Gallery. Here’s a taste of what’s there. Stop by.

Looking down from “Cabbage Hill” near Pendleton. The wind was a tad stiff. Semi trucks rolled gently past along with the tumbleweeds. Holding onto my camera, and a post holding up the shelter, I shot this without a tripod. As I mentioned in an earlier picture from the same day. A tripod was irrelevant in that wind.
Camera: Speed Graphic 4×5.
Lens: 127mm Kodak Ektar.
Film: Fuji Astia.

This is another view from “Cabbage Hill” near Pendleton, Oregon. It’s quite the view, and is more than a single photo can capture. My hope is to do it justice.
Camera: Nikon D810
Lens: 24-120mm Nikon VR

My wife and I learned a lot about this place after we took the underground tour. It was the most reputable brothel in the area back in the day. I took this handheld at 1/60 sec., so there’s a little motion blur. I like the effect, though.
Camera: Speed Graphic 4×5.
Lens: 135mm Kodak Ektar.
Film: Kodak T-Max 100 developed in PMK Pyro.

I liked this composition, which is on the outskirts of Pendleton. The area relies heavily on agriculture, and the town’s infrastructure shows it.

I will be adding more pictures to the Pendleton page in the coming weeks. I will be looking through the negatives to see any diamonds in the rough. We’ll see.
Thanks for looking!
