Foolish gibberish
Hi there! I’m back with a photo from Indian Beach on the Oregon Coast. Indian Beach is in Ecola State Park, which is in between Cannon beach and Seaside. It is a stunning park and worth a visit. Fun fact: The final scene of the original Point Break was filmed here!
Taken on January 1st 2024 with an Olympus Stylus and Harman Poenix 200 film.
Last week at this time it was cool and rainy. Today it feels like the sun is trying to kill us. almost a hundred degrees outside. And there are people out there running Hood To Coast today! I’ve got to give them so much credit for being out there in this heat.
The town that I live in is on the route and it’s always so inspiring each year to see them run through town. I kind of want to participate sometime, though with each passing year that ship might sail. I’m not as athletic as I used to be!
I browsed through my archives to see if I could find a photo that reflected the day. Here is a proper sun flare shot I took with my Terrapin Ace pinhole camera, 3d printed by my friend Todd Schlemmer. I took this during the pandemic at the Rogue Brewery location in Astoria, Oregon.
Hi there! Happy Friday!
We are experiencing a wonderful Summer rain today here in Oregon. It’s kind of rare to get rain in the Summer here but so far this Summer we have had a few rainy days. I really like this trend and I hope it continues!
Here is a photo I took in San Jose last year at my in-law’s house. Oranges grow abundantly in their neighborhood and it’s really wonderful. Here are some laying on the ground because they didn’t get picked.
I used an Olympus Stylus for this photo and the first iteration of Harmon Phoenix film. I’m still trying to figure out if I like this film. I haven’t tried the new version of it yet.
Here is an attempt at a solar graph using a Solarcan Puck. I had the Puck sitting on my bedroom windowsill from Summer solstice to Winter solstice last year. I have never really had the best of luck with these extended solar graphs. I love to do these for a couple of days when I am on vacation somewhere, and I’ll share some of those in future posts. The Puck is so easy to travel with! I love it!
Here is a photo I took last year when I was visiting Heidelberg, Germany. I used an Olympus XA and Lomography Metropolis. I really love the soft tones this film creates. I feel like this photo has a vintage postcard vibe.
Speaking of postcards! If you have been a longtime reader of this blog, you may remember that I ran a postcard swap for photographers, in which we shared our original photography. I still do that! For various reasons, I lost track of some of the original members of the group. I am not sure what happened. Anyway, to help me keep in touch with people I have created a blog devoted to this project. You can find it here: Postcards From Afar. There you will find information about the project and how to sign up.
