Blue Bench

Eric

Here is a blue bench that had recently been painted. I thought it stood out against the mostly brown landscape and the messy paint job gave it a bit of character.

Just Launch Out

Matt

I have been to this spot a ton of times but never took a photo of this boat launch area. I guess it never really looked interesting. This time the sunset added some epicness and I really liked the way everything kind of lined up.

The Bridge Is Out!

Mat

I went exploring down this road one morning just to see what was down it. It was supposed to let up on the rain that day. The rain however never stopped so with three hours or so of driving I only took this one shot. It was a nice little spot to just stop and rest although taking a shot with the constant drizzle is always a chore.

He Touched Me

Matt

This shot was taken at the Portland Oregon airport. As I walked around the airport I seemed to get noticed by the Airport police pretty often. Every time they walked by they seemed to give me a extra bit of looking. I was carrying my tripod around so maybe it looked like a three barreled gun? As I was setting up to take this shot people walking by would kind of do that duck maneuver to avoid getting in the frame. From the corner of my eye to the left I could see another cop approaching and kind of walking right toward me. He got closer and closer and then he grabbed my left arm, quite firmly and held on. Then while still holding my arm kind of gave me a couple pats on the back and said, "haha I don't want to walk in your shot." It was a bit awkward because he could have just walked around. The grabbing seemed a bit much. I guess he just wanted to feel my guns? 

Grass and View

Matt

This is one of my favorite viewpoints I have found so far to watch the sunrise. I tried to put some of this dead grass in the foreground that surprisingly had some nice color too it, for being dead that is. The water level is super low and I have been hoping for some good rain to get it back up to the bigger rock line. That way I can incorporate some nice boulders into the foreground instead of dead grass.
