“Portland Across the Willamette.”

A night image of my second favorite Bridge in Portland (my favorite is the St Johns). This one was taken from Tom McCall Waterfront Park near Riverplace. Of all of Portland’s bridges, Hawthorne is lit up the best at night.

Camera: Calumet 45,

Lens: 150 Fujinon,

“Blue Heron.”

From the Vaults.

The Blue Heron paper plant in Oregon City. This was an image from my latest exhibit called "The Night Shift." It's the first image I took with my Kodak Commercial 8x10 camera. This is a scan from the proof sheet, not from the final print that hung in the exhibit.

I was inspired to take this image by the industrial photography of Ansel Adams. I have always liked old things. I seek out landscapes and cityscapes that remind me of the early to mid 20th century.

Camera: Kodak Commercial 8x10
