Hi there! I'm back with a photo from Indian Beach on the Oregon Coast. Indian Beach is in Ecola State Park, which is in between Cannon beach and Seaside. It is a stunning park and worth a visit. Fun fact: The final scene of the original Point Break was filmed here! Taken on January 1st 2024 with an Olympus Stylus and Harman Poenix 200 film.

If you are wondering what this is all about, we are exchanging postcard sized prints of our original photography! You can find out more on my About page.

Last week at this time it was cool and rainy. Today it feels like the sun is trying to kill us. almost a hundred degrees outside. And there are people out there running Hood To Coast today! I've got to give them so much credit for being out there in this heat. The town that I live in is on the route and it's always so inspiring each year to see them run through town.

Hi there! Happy Friday! We are experiencing a wonderful Summer rain today here in Oregon. It's kind of rare to get rain in the Summer here but so far this Summer we have had a few rainy days. I really like this trend and I hope it continues! Here is a photo I took in San Jose last year at my in-law's house.

Here is an attempt at a solar graph using a Solarcan Puck. I had the Puck sitting on my bedroom windowsill from Summer solstice to Winter solstice last year. I have never really had the best of luck with these extended solar graphs. I love to do these for a couple of days when I am on vacation somewhere, and I'll share some of those in future posts. The Puck is so easy to travel with! I love it!

Here is a photo I took last year when I was visiting Heidelberg, Germany. I used an Olympus XA and Lomography Metropolis. I really love the soft tones this film creates. I feel like this photo has a vintage postcard vibe. Speaking of postcards! If you have been a longtime reader of this blog, you may remember that I ran a postcard swap for photographers, in which we shared our original photography.

If you are interested in joining my photography postcard swap, you have one more day to do so! Names will be drawn tomorrow. you can sign up by clicking here. If you are wondering what this is all about, visit my About page or FAQ page!

My husband and I finally decided to stay at the Oregon Garden Resort this past fall and had the best time! We have gone back quite a few times ever since. We love visiting Silverton and walking the Oregon Garden is a delight. Here is a pinhole photo I took there using my Woodblak camera. Kodak Gold was the film used.
