We went up to Timberline on Mt. Hood on Aug. 6th amidst rumors of the Aurora Borealis being visible very far south. Alas, no northern lights that night (the photo is of the northern sky, of course the mountain could have been in the way, or too much light pollution), but the stars were quite [...]
That’s right, I finally got around to putting together a little calendar showcasing some of my favorite photos taken last year. Why only photos from last year? I had a hard enough time selecting so few of my favorites from just the past twelve months, the idea of choosing from my entire library threatened to [...]

The past few weeks have been absolutely gorgeous weather wise. While nice weather is not all that unusual in itself, during this time of year (Rose Festival season in and around Portland, Oregon) is a bit odd, especially with the added bonus of hot temperatures. I can’t even remember the last time the Starlight Parade [...]
Last weekend we met up with some friends at their cabin in the Mt. Hood National Forest. It was a nice day out, so we had brought our bikes up to the mountain with us. Riding around the back roads, we found a trail that led up to a large rock formation. At the base [...]
A cold, cold day in the Columbia River Gorge. This was probably the most wind I’ve ever experienced on the Columbia River. It did make for interesting photos despite the fact that I had lost all feeling in my extremities. — Technical Details Aperture Value: f/8 Focal Length: 300mm Exposure Program: Aperture Priority ISO: 200 [...]
It was a dark and stormy night… well, day actually. New Year’s Day to be exact. What better time to head to the coast? Probably any other day. We went anyway. It was wet. It was dark. But, the fish at the aquarium didn’t seem to mind. Not that they ever do. Is it just [...]
