It was the 5th year anniversary of my sister's passing this week. We've been going to the Oregon coast on her anniversary every year, her final resting place, but almost didn't make it this year due to moving/closing at the same time. It was a bit of a stretch to squeeze in a trip on top of everything, but somehow it all worked out and I'm so glad we were able to.
I have become increasingly interested in making my Pentax 6x7, which otherwise produces nice, sharp, "perfect" into something that makes imperfect images. Using it out of focus, with lenses turned around, with the lens turned right but not mounted fully, and in this case, with a homemade tilt-shift contraption. I borrowed a lens from an old RA4 printing machine because I needed something that would cover the 7 centimeter long Pentax negative and still have room for movements. It is basically the Lensbaby effect, which itself is basically the same tilt-shift effect large format photographers have enjoyed for decades. Unlike the Lensbaby, this method has a sharper plane of focus, which I prefer.
But yeah, as technical as it sounds, it really isn't. Auxiliary lens crammed onto camera body (recycled cloth bag for bellows) and away I go loose on the beach.
Mental note to self, do more of this.
as the sun peeked through the thick layer of clouds, and warmed up the cold and misty shore of pacific ocean. that was the moment we all were hoping for. few minutes of sunshine, before the clouds rolled over and the magic slowly disappeared in the darkness.

Pacific City to Newport. 50 miles with one grueling painful climb due to a missed turn. But a wonderful sunny day otherwise.
Almost missed sharing this gem in a timely fashion. As seen at Cape Kiwanda, in a place where it takes some effort to get to, which makes the appearance of jack-o-lanterns even more incongruous.

Is go to the coast. But my due date's only four days away, and being about two hours from the hospital doesn't seem exceptionally wise.

A little later on the same night as my last shot. The sky shifted from golden to orange to a deep red, and finally to a purplish blue. Here it is during its red phase. I'll put up more shots to show the different colors, but I might take a break tomorrow and put one up of Amy looking rather badass in the caves at Hug Point.
I get to see our beautiful coastline for two weekends in a row. Swoon.

I am fond of the idea that you can be casually strolling along a sandy beach and unknowingly be a part of an artistic moment of creativity/beauty/whathaveyou. In short, every moment we exist is a moment we are participating in something outside of ourselves, or larger than ourselves, whether we are aware of it or not.

So dark was the night that Haystack looked like the bow of One-Eyed Willie's pirate ship. Waves splashed gently on the beach. The night was cold and air was clean. I collected my wishes so that I could make a wish for each shooting star as it grazed across the curtain of star-filled sky. But for every shooting star that went by, I was so thrilled to have caught sight of it and would forget to make a wish. Fortunately, I did get my shooting stars, thousands of them. One for each person to shine the brightest that he possibly can despite of the darkness, or with whatever life might deal you.

For this week's Digging in the archives I went back to 2005 and the Oregon coast - Cannon Beach to be exact. Oh yes, Oregonians love to visit this tourist destination no matter what the time of year.

Thanks everyone for the views, faves and comments!
We watched the sun go down on a chilly evening in Pacific City. It was beautiful, as always. I'm enjoying having a subject that can't crawl/walk/run away from me yet.

I place a lot of value on my job as a teacher. I mean, first off, it is highly rewarding. It really is a neat experience to see that spark of inspiration flare up in someone, or to play a role in convincing them they are much more creative and artistic than they had allowed themselves to admit they were. It is pretty amazing to spend time with another photographer in that role and see the development as well. But I admit that I get a lot out of the process as well. I learn, even while they are learning. I learn from each student and each time we go out to make photos. How can one not? You simply watch another photographer work, how they look at and interact with the world and you learn from that, regardless of their skill level.
Such was the case with this image. This came about on a field trip to the coast during that spectacular stormy weather we had a while back. The lesson here was a simple one: if you stand in this spot, see what you see? And I would not have seen this if not for one of those students teaching me something even while I taught him something. Teaching is often a two-way street like that. For me at least.

French Impressionist painter Claude Monet used to take a subject -- a church facade, a water-lily pond, haystacks -- and paint them in different light at different times of day as a study in light. I was thinking of him as I took these images recently at the Oregon coast. I was thinking about how he might handle this scene as one of his "studies." So I'd like to pay homage to Claude, one of my favorites, by trying my hand at a study of light at this scene in Cannon Beach, Oregon. This particular scene is of Haystack Rock in morning light.
