Beach Walker

August 13, 2015 in Color Film, Nature

If I was a better poet I would probably spend all of my time writing prose about the ocean. Whenever I go to the coast I simultaneously feel like a kid in a candy store and completely at peace at the same time. It's a wonderful way to be quite honestly and is one of the primary reasons it will always be hard for me to leave the west coast.

This image was made somewhere near Lincoln City along a random stretch of coast line. The sun kept peaking in and out of the clouds as if to say, "here I am!" only to hide again on its journey to the water below. All I had with me was a small point and shoot camera I bought from a thrift store for a few bucks loaded with cheap Kodak Gold color film. I really couldn't have asked for it to turn out better.

This was one of those days that felt like summer before summer was the cool kid in the class.

Pre-dawn journey to the office. Sometimes the birds keep a watchful eye on everything while most people are sleeping.

Making photographs in blank spaces is always such a different mindset. Not necessarily bad, or good, or better, or worse, just different.

I can pull off a cowboy hat sometimes. I like to walk around in a flannel shirt and a ten gallon hat and a camera attached to my hip. All I'm missing is the horse. Evidently my cool factor only goes to 8 and not to 11.

I always find the lighting on the hottest days to be the most difficult to work with. A little bit of persistence always wins the day though, which seems to be my theme lately.

It was colder than we would have liked, and the light was dimmer than I expected, but with a little perseverance we managed to make it all work. Sometimes that is what you've got to do. If that wasn't the case, we probably wouldn't do it all.

More murals on the inner east side of Portland. So much great art on public view for anyone willing to brave the outdoors.

I'm looking forward to that wonderful light of the fall season. Beautifully subdued from every direction.

Looking into the sun on a summer morning. I'm a little surprised I pulled off the exposure here so well.

Evidently I live in a city "under siege". I don't know, looks rather tranquil to me. 

Portland has its share of problems. Drug abuse and homelessness being two very large ones. Federal Troops and ICE aren't going to do a single thing to he
Quick snapshots after going to a movie.

Exposing my film straight into the sun. I wasn't sure this was going to work, but nature was feeling merciful toward me this day.

Feeling the desire lately to really knuckle down and get work done, which is a good state of mind to be in. Thank goodness it is Friday!

East side photo walk around Portland. Still after all these years one of the best ways to collect my thoughts, breath in some real air, and feel connected with where I live.
