Foolish gibberish
My husband and I finally decided to stay at the Oregon Garden Resort this past fall and had the best time! We have gone back quite a few times ever since. We love visiting Silverton and walking the Oregon Garden is a delight.
Here is a pinhole photo I took there using my Woodblak camera. Kodak Gold was the film used.
Here is a pinhole photo I took with my Woodblak camera on this past New Years Eve at Seaside, Oregon.
I have a lot of photos of this particular view! Each one is interesting and unique.
First of all, Hi! It’s been 5 years since I have posted on this blog. I am not sure why I have neglected this blog for so long, but I thought maybe I would revive it and use it as a way to share my photography again.
Here is my photo for Pinhole Day 2025. It was taken at the Oregon Dunes in Florence Oregon using a Ranica MIR 6F.
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to meet up with my usual Pinhole friends this year, we were all busy with other things. I ended up having to go to a librarian conference in Eugene, Oregon. I figured I might as well shoot over the the coast to Florence and check out the dunes for Pinhole day. I’d never been and always wanted to visit. The Oregon Dunes inspired Frank Herbert to write the novel, Dune. They are pretty impressive and beautiful and worth visiting if you are on the Oregon Coast.
I haven’t blogged at all over the past 5 years, but I’m still taking pictures. Just haven’t had the energy to share my stuff on social media. I think I have been burned out by it. I think I’ll try sharing things here on my own blog and see how it goes.
Thanks for visiting!
Hi!
Wow.
I guess I am now that person who posts on my blog once a year on New Years now.
So 2020! Wow! What a year, am I right?
Here is my 1 Second Everyday video.
do I even bother to do this? To recap this year?
It started out pretty cool for me, with a trip down to California to Hearst Castle and Cambria in January. And then the world changed with the Pandemic, as we all know. In Oregon we had to also deal with the president hyper focusing his ire on Portland this past Summer, when we were experiencing daily riots. We also had the fires. This was, personally the worst thing that happened to us. We had to evacuate our home in September and it was terrifying. Everything turned out ok, though. Our home is fine. But there was a week in September when things were pretty scary.
The good thing that happened is that we bought our dream home. My husband and I are working from home and we are doing ok. We are hunkering down and hanging in there are really grateful at the moment that things for us haven’t been devastating.
I wish you all health and safety. We are not out of the woods yet, so please stay safe. Wear a mask and stay home. Let’s hope for a better year in 2021. ❤
“We don’t create anything in a vacuum. When you create art, like you’re basically just feeding into this big, sacred legacy of work. And you’re just feeding into the neural net of every other human. You know, it’s like, ultimately, we all kind of function like A.I.; we’re all a product of all the content that we feed ourselves. And so, you know, it’s just like, it’s just funny to be like, ‘Oh, this is my work.’ In reality, it’s the result of thousands of years of human art making.
