Getting out with the ‘Blad last spring while I was gatting the Hood River house ready for sale. I found a little time to take pictures during the ordeal. I miss Hood River. I don’t miss the daily 2-hour commute.

This is from a few years ago. It’s a different angle on the famous red barn in Pine Grove, Oregon, near Hood River.
I’ve never been able to get the classic picture of this barn. You have to trespass to get it, and I tend to respect the property owners’ wishes.

I made this image early last spring before the leaves were on the trees. The light was not very dramatic, but the clouds were. Mount Hood, partly obscured, is in the backgraound.
Yes, I am still using film.

I color corrected this and replaced the original 7/17/20. Something about it was nagging me.

Pear Orchards, Hood River, OR.
This Red Barn during spring must have become one of the most photographed barns in America. As an Oregon photographer, I needed this picture for my bucket list! When I went there last Friday evening after work, I was the second one to arrive at the scene. So, I only got the second best view of this barn. Satisfied with my find I set up my shop and waited for the light to get better. Very soon, the place was bustling with photographers. I met some of my flickr contacts, made new ones and above all we made a party out of this photoshoot!

Danbo marking a milestone in her life.
Three hundred days more!
Many thanks to all my Flickr (and non-Flickr) friends and contacts for following Danbo's adventure since day one. I never expected to be able to carry on with this for this long, but your views and comments have kept us going, and for that we salute and thank you all!
It was a fun ride but it was never easy as there were days were I had to agonize on what I should do and present. I had numerous occasion where I wanted to just fully abandon the project but the lure of Danbo and Flickr was too much.
Here's to the next three hundred days!

I like the way this one turned out. There’s something about using film that I find deepy satisfying. It’s the anticipation, the thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat, as it were, that keeps me firing those old shutters. “You never know what’s in pickle barrel until you get the lid off’n it,” a wise dog in a Warner Bros cartoon once said. He was right. It’s like Schroedeners film holder.: Until its developed, it’s both good and bad.

When Adora and Shiloh were little one of the things they, and I, always found amusing was going to a local park to feed the ducks, geese and seagulls. I still like doing that and they probably would too although I haven't suggested it for a while.
On one occasion we went to a local park where the crowds of birds were quite accustomed to being fed by the public and the moment they saw us coming they made a beeline toward us hoping we had come prepared to lay out a spread.
When we'd left the house I had only put one loaf of bread in the bag with me and realized as we were driving to the park that it wouldn't be enough. I stopped at a convenience store to pick up some more and discovered there was none to be had--the store didn't really sell much in the way of food but they did have a box of Fruit Loops. I figured that would do it.
So sure enough when we got to the park the girls and I headed over to the large pond area and the moment the birds saw us they came waddling over to see what we had to offer. Because the girls were so little at that time I made them sit on one of the park benches so I could make sure they were safe and suddenly we were surrounded by geese and ducks while the seagulls circled overhead. There was one goose that was particularly bold and he kept trying to shove his way into the bag in order to go directly to the bread rather than wait until it was handed to him by a little girl. I commented, "that is one very bold goose!" as I continued to make sure he didn't frighten Adora or Shiloh.
Adora was only about five years old but she was schooled in manners. She kept saying, 'that mould duck is very rude Nolly*". Mould duck or bold goose? Gosh that made me smile and how cute it is when children get words mixed up. Those expressions often become part of the family lexicon.
Anyway, we ran out of bread quite quickly and it was time to open the Fruit Loops. In my entire life, I have never bought a box of Fruit Loops and I know my daughter never buys them either but the girls had a small handful and thought they were pretty good. However, to my astonishment the geese and ducks wouldn't touch the cereal and, believe it or not, neither would the seagulls!
Seagulls will eat anything but they would not eat Fruit Loops. What does that tell you about the wisdom of nature?

Food Month Continues! This highly nutritious morning meal is for my friend Barb's new group, A Month of Mornings, which celebrates healthier eating of the most important meal of the day. Stop by, join in and have a bite.
Fruit Loops and a Brown Sugar & Cinnamon Pop-Tart: Only the finest breakfast combo since green eggs & ham, I ate this nearly every morning in high school & college. And yes, I was usually sound asleep at my desk an hour later when the sugar crash hit. Zzzzzzzzzz.
I see you wanting my Toucan Sam bowl

I took this picture at The Gorge White House a couple years ago. Located in the Hood River Valley, you can see the transition from the wet west to the dry east in the trees on the hills on either side. The Gorge White House is surrounded by fruit orchards, and vinyards, some of which they own. Like all of the eastern Columbia Gorge wineries, they make very good wine.

This picture was shot on a tripod with three exposures (-2..0..+2 EV). I used Photomatix Pro to create the HDR with tone mapping and detail enhanced. I increased the overall saturation with Hue/Saturation in Photoshop. Curve adjustment to increase the overall contrast. 1 layer mask to increase color and contrast in the sky. 1 layer mask in soft light mode at 50% gray, using brush tool to lighten and darken some areas of the image, to bring out details. Used Nik Sharpener Pro to sharpen image.
It was a beautiful warm Sunday drive along the Columbia River Gorge. Since it was early in the day, we decided to stop by the Chinese restaurant in Hood River for dinner before we head out to this red barn in the pear orchard for sunset shots. It was our first time out shooting this red barn, and I was surprised that there were quite a few photographers doing the same thing. Really cool to watch the photographers maneuvering around the rows of pear trees to get the perfect spot to capture this red barn with Mount Hood. Wow, I really didn't realize that it's been more than a month since my last upload!

I took this at the Gorge White House in Pine Grove, Oregon, which is just outside of Hood River in the Columbia Gorge. It looks a little unreal, but that’s the way it looked. I actually had to drop the saturation a bit to bring it to heel.

I think I have to say that reduced-sugar Fruit Loops are one of my favorite things ever. Well, as far as breakfast things go. (my actual favorite thing ever in the category of breakfast is breakfast at Tom's in NY).
Oh, and on the note of color, I took this picture in mixed lighting, so couldn't quite get the colors in the cereal quite right. Look at that red. Looks sorta like Pinhole's dog, eh?
...and yes, I probably only took this because David did a breakfast shot the other day (my cereal habit isn't as bad as his). Plus, I like rainbows, and what are Fruit Loops, if not a rainbow? ;)
To bad I eat it every day.
Grocery Shopping is definitely a priority this week.
I don't know why, but I love this shot
Danbo and the Twin's favourite snack.
Mine as well!
Lots of fun setting up this scene as we get to eat all of the stuff afterwards!
Fruit Loop got new eye chips-these are some really pretty purple and silver GBaby ones, it's hard to capture the beauty of these! Also, I got her rainbow glasses, because of how quirky, yet beautiful she is. I envisioned her with glasses! :)
Yes, that is bacon on a maple bar; it is what they would call the maple-bacon bar. You may also notice Kellogg's Fruit Loops and Post Cereal's Cinnamon Toast Crunch, strategically settled on their own spherical-delights.
This is what a PWO inevitably leads to; replenishing the glycogen stores, spiking that insulin for salutary results. I suppose you can say that I Doughnut care too much about counting calories when a selection like this is provided.
It still surprises me to how much one can get away with by adopting ultra-low-carb sources of sustenance for the majority of the week. Add a few days of resistance training or HIIT and you can get away with even more.
Tomorrow's agenda, triathlon; cycling; swimming; and tennis... then likely, even more donuts.
This wrap always reminds me of the Candy Crush game, bursting with those bright orange colors.

This was my year to finally get this bucket list image. I had never shot this barn before, though I did know where it was.
I have made this analogy before, but landscape photography is like surfing. You head out, usually early, and try to catch some waves. Maybe you get a few good one, maybe the waves never break right and you get nothing. Here, swap waves with light. Perhaps you have great light, perhaps you don't. I really wanted some clouds in this image, but usually you get clouds covering Hood, or a clear sky. Both is very hard to get.
So I started visiting this site a lot. I usually never got out of the car. I was just watching the blooms. As they got close, I started watching the weather. There were a few times when the weather said partially cloudy, so I headed out. I got there once at sunset, yes, Hood was there, but the clouds were not. So I drove home, an hour each way, and then got up at 4 the next morning to try my luck again. This image was from that sunrise, I was out there long before the sun came up. Again, the weather said partially cloudy, but there was hardly a cloud in the sky, shy of the odd hat on Hood.
All in all I took WAY too many images of this barn this year, but I thought it was my turn. I ended up with several great images to choose from, so I may post a few. Interestingly I did the same thing with 'that' Japanese maple from the Portland Japanese gardens. I stalked that tree last year in the fall because I had missed it for years and I was fed-up with missing it. So I stopped every day on the way home from work until the color was perfect and the line of photographers was long. So the moral of the story is, if you love something, stalk it until it looks perfect. No...wait, that's not right.
Let me know what you think.

I love the area around Hood River, with all of the orchards, hills, and mountains. I made it back to the area a few times this Fall, and traversed the usual routes, byways, and highways, taking pictures were the light was right, and there was a place to pull off of the road. I left my heart there when I moved back to the Portland area last summer, so I must occasionally return to reclaim it.

I know - technically it should be Strawberry Fields, but that's what popped into my mind. This was taken on Oregon's "Fruit Loop" (Hwy, 35, on an uncharacteristically clear day), in the shadow of Mt. Hood. It was one of those last minute stops we saw on a brochure, but it ended up being a really fun place to take pictures. (I didn't realize lavender even grew in Oregon!)
Kellogg Co. today become the first major company to drop Michael Phelps over the photo that appeared of him smoking marijuana.
""Michael's most recent behavior is not consistent with the image of Kellogg. His contract expires at the end of February and we have made a decision not to extend his contract," spokeswoman Susanne Norwitz said in a statement."
1. Kellogg Co. is idiotic. Apple Jacks, Cocoa Krispies, Eggo waffles, Froot Loops (yes, you heard that right Froot Loops!), Frosted Flakes, Frosted Mini-Wheats, Cinnamon Marshmallow Scooby-Doo! cereal, Spider-Man Spidey-Berry cereal, SpongeBob SquarePants cereal (say it ain't so!), Cheez-It crackers, Mother's Cookies (and I'm talking pink and white frosted animals sailor!), Pop-Tarts, Rice Krispies Treats, and the list goes on. Do those idiots not realize that stoners probably make up at least 50% of their sales?
Fortunately Cap'n Crunch still remains safely owned by by Quaker Oats and their parent, our good friends over at Pepsi (whew! dodged a bullet with that one!).
2. By dropping Michael Phelps for the sole reason of smoking pot, they are making a statement that pot is bad. That pot is evil. That by extension pot ought to be criminalized. In a very public way.
Earlier this week when several of his sponsors announced that they'd be standing by him, I think Dave Winer put it best, "Glad to see some sensibility emerging. Smoking pot is like having a beer. BFD." And that's exactly how Kelloggs should look at this as well.
The War on Drugs has cost our country dearly. It's cost millions of dollars to incarcerate people for doing something that is no different than imbibing in a little alcohol. Instead of legalizing pot, taking the profits away from organized crime and drug dealers, and taxing it to raise much needed revnue, the politicians (along with their friends from the alcohol lobby) would rather just keep wasting money. To this end Kellogg Co. is not part of the solution. And they are very much a part of the problem. And for this reason, as much as it pains me, I'll be keeping away from my Froot Loops and frosted animal cookies for a while.
Hopefully someone can talk some sense into Kellogg and Co. and have them reverse this horrible decision announced today.
Update: an interesting article from Anthony Citrano. Michael Phelps Should Not Be Sorry.
