A rock covered with all sorts of little sea critters, sitting in the shadow of Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach, Oregon.
Pacific City to Newport. 50 miles with one grueling painful climb due to a missed turn. But a wonderful sunny day otherwise.
As the year comes to an end I will start going back through last year and the year before images to find any last minute keepers. Last year I think I threw away about 10,000 images....this year is looking to be about the same.....

Time for the Holiday Print Exchange. I have finalized some details and would like to make this formal announcement.
I am hosting the 1st Annual Flickr Holiday Print Exchange. December 5th 12:30pm at Kells Irish Pub in Downtown Portland. This will be a great time for all photographers to get together and share their work with others and talk about any and all things photography.
Here is how the Exchange will work.
Everyone brings one of their own pieces of work to exchange. I would like to see all images be 11x14 or 12x18 as these sizes are really nice for viewing and I think most people can find room for an image this size in their home or office!.
Please have the image wrapped before you arrive. When you arrive we will put a number on the image and a number in the hat. At the time of the drawing we will then draw numbers and whatever number you get will be the image that matches. Very simple and fun. If you have never had any images printed up at the larger sizes, I can recommend some great places.
I DO need RSVP's for this. This is NOT a locals only event, if you wish to travel and come visit us, that would be great....I welcome everyone from anywhere in the world. Once I get your RSVP, I will add your name to the list....
I think this will be a great event and I look forward to seeing you all there!!!!
Please email me with questions and your RSVP's as soon as possible. Thanks much! FYI, this isn't the print I am using for the exchange!
Every single person has at least one secret that would break your heart. If we could just remember this, I think there would be a lot more compassion and tolerance in the world. ~Author Unknown
Pinhole image, taken on a stormy morning at Cape Kiwanda. That same morning we had awoken in Pacific City to the sound of hail pelting glass windows. The breaks in precipitation were brief at times; ten minutes after this exposure the sky opened up again, this time to pour buckets of driving rain. Luckily by that point the six of us were inside a nearby restaurant, sipping orange juice and watching the unlucky beachcombers who were still outside come racing back to their vehicles.
This was about as close as I could get to the water... the waves came all the way up to a sandy 3-foot tall embankment, which I stood on to take this picture. Even with that height separating me from the edge of the tide, a rolling wave still managed to fling itself upward high enough to splash my pants. It may look calm here, but the sea was decidedly turbulent that day.
Taken with my Zero Image 2000. For the life of me, I cannot remember an exposure time - I want to say either 20 seconds or 2 minutes; judging by the light, the former is probably more likely.

Btw, the phrase "As above, so below" has a fascinating history. Thought to have originated with ancient philosopher Hermes Trismegistus. Though lost in antiquity, he has been fixed at the early days of the oldest dynasties of Egypt, long before the days of Moses. Some authorities regard him as a contemporary of Abraham.
A completely gray day turned into a photographers paradise for a matter of seconds. The thin light bands on the horizon were just enough for the sun to peek through. Pacific City, Oregon coast.
After a day to restore body and bike, 63-mile ride from Bandon to Gold Beach. A beautiful day along the coast. Caught up with fellow cyclists that I met in Pacific City.
Over 2,000 seabirds nest on Haystack Rock each year, the third largest coastal sea stack or monolith in the world. Print size 8x10 inches.
Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach after an awesome day surfing on the coast. It's January and it feels more like summer out there!
I kept walking up the beach trying to get it all in. A good spot to capture it all would be up at the Ecola State Park lookout. I went up there the next morning but it was overcast and drizzling.
Haystack Rock is 235 feet high, an impressive monolith and certainly the largest sea stack on the Oregon coast. The surrounding basalt towers are called "The Needles".
The ominous clouds stayed to my south and passed quickly to reveal more blue skies. This is a color photograph.
I got to Cape Kiwanda a little later than I had hoped for sunrise. When I parked in the parking lot at the beach, the light and colors were intense but starting to fade. I ran towards the sandstone bluff but realizing the colors were starting to fade, I walked out onto the rocks and shot a few shots. This is 2 images - 1 image for the sky, 1 for the foreground, then hand blended in photoshop. Thanks for looking...
As a photographer we hope for skies like this, in fact we sometimes dream of them. At Cannon Beach, Oregon the dream came alive this time around. Yes it's certainly an icon and I have a keeper photo of this location already yet it's not hard to click the shutter when conditions like these materialize.
