She walked into my viewfinder unexpectedly. Perspective rules here giving an interesting angle to the main subject and setting her against a dramatic sky and roofline. The bold backdrop shapes anchor the shot and provide a vivid contrast that pushes the subject visually forward in the frame. There is a dynamic feel of motion - of things to do and places to go - even though the frame is frozen in a split second of time.

Framed
Reflections in tinted glass and avant garde architecture join forces to make a surreal frame for the potato man. (Inside joke.) Wondrous colors and fun shapes create patterns that delight my eye. Repetition builds strength and textures add substance. Perspective exaggerates a bit. Sharp focus keeps everything viable and it's a shot that becomes eye candy to explore.

I hit the road with a new buddy I made on Instagram this morning. Last night we were trying to decide between one of the waterfall hikes in the Gorge or something else. We eventually settled on trying to locate a hidden lava tube near Carson, WA that we had both heard about and see photos of. After some back road adventuring and a quick quarter mile hike we found our hole in the ground and wandered in. Inside we found a huge, cavernous, cathedral shaped lava tube with striated walls and sections of floor alternating between high piles of boulder and smooth sand and cooled lava. We spent some time shooting long exposures, painting the walls with our headlamps. There's no darkness quite like being 1/4 mile under the surface of the earth and turning all your lights off.

A rarely seen reverse view of the Instagram famous Buntzen Lake Boathouse. I just loved all the fog on the trees in the early morning light.

I loved the moody low hanging fog at Multnomah late Monday afternoon. It appears as if the falls are cascading out of thin air and adds a ton of monochromatic drama to an already postcard ready real life Rivendell. Hashtag alliteration. Who cares if it's overshot and crowded, it's beautiful and a must visit for all my out of town friends. And the peppermint hot chocolate from the lodge is on point.

Just Above Ceiling Height
Looking barely down on a ceiling holding lamps in suspension is a perspective that gives a different view. Closing time leaves mostly darkness but they hadn't turned out these lights. The array forms a pattern that joins a ceiling sporting patterns of its own. Splashes of light illuminate just enough to show off details. Spots of other colors offer punctuation - a bit of added interest.
It's a diptych in appearance, even though it's been done in a single frame - either side could stand alone.

Beautiful yellow and orange maples contrasted over the multiple layers of green of the walls along the hike to Wahclella Falls. It's everything I love about the PNW all in one frame - conifers, autumn, fog, waterfalls, moss.
