Throwing it back to 2010, with a fun ol’ concept-shoot of the ever-talented Kira Distler and her BFF, Turtie. These two have the kind of friendship where you can just see the love in their eyes. Okay you called it, it was really just a stuffed turtle. Fun shoot, anyway!
Some of my favorite days are spent lost, roaming with a camera. It’s a great way to see the (often over-looked) details.
These long, straight stretches of road are pretty rare in Oregon’s higher elevations. Highways like this give great long-distance perspective in the otherwise steep hills and dense forests.
Middle of Highway 138 in Eastern Oregon near Crater Lake.
Long night, bright day, circa 2007.
Dipping into the past shoots, to see if there are any sweet old trap queen images I haven’t gotten around to sharing with you dear peeps. Found this great take from a 2008 Film Noir styled photoshoot, with Saron Nehf (model) and Alicia Elfving (style).
This footage was captured back in 2013 (via hot air balloon) on my wife and I’s honeymoon.
Established In 1907 as the Oregon State Institution for the Feeble-Minded, this spooky complex later was renamed to the Fairview Training Center in the 1960’s. It was eventually shut down in 2000.
From a distance you thought this was some kind of crucifixion and now that you’re closer, you realize that actually might be the intended effect.
It looks like artist Dre Peeter’s wood sculpture is called Icara which you presume is the feminine equivalent of Icarus (that sassy son of Daedalus who flew too close to the sun). Metaphor or not, the sun is really good at pointing out hubris. Cool heads prevail.
From here you can take a closer look at the base (which seems to have booty shorts nailed to it) or you can investigate the ghosts nearby.
