Scaring Crows And People On The Island
The dogs and I took a drive out to Sauvies Island to get some shots of a cornfield that I have been scouting out for the last couple of months. I have been waiting patiently for this damn corn to grow tall enough to capture the fall colors at night as the crops begin to blossom. The fertile island fields are stunning during the day. However, at night it is completely dark and its views are extremely limited. This field is across the road from a pump station and is illuminated by one lamp which offers an eerie view of this wall of corn. This may be the one of the only public lights on the south side of the island. Just a short distance away scarecrows line one side of the road creating a very spooky atmosphere scaring more than just the crows.

The Jewel Of St. Johns
One night Matt, the mutts, and I hiked up a dark trail in the dead of winter to get a shot of The St. Johns Bridge in which we could look down upon it. The west side of the bridge rests against a ridge that is probably one of the only ways to get some height for the particular shot. Most other times of year the trees and foilage would obstruct some of the view. We waited for a string of traffic to head towards the west in order to get some light trails to give the shot a dramatic effect. This bridge is definitely a favorite of all of the bridges that inhabit Portland.

Full Circle
My grandfather connects on a pitch during a senior softball tournament in Medford, Oregon. One of the coolest parts about watching these games is the spirit that these fellas carry out onto the field with them. It is the same spirit that one can witness at any little league game. These guys spend their golden years of retirement playing a game in which that spirit has persevered. Full circle.
