Pickup Mural

This pickup truck was parked in front of a mural in Cottage Grove, Oregon. As a rule I prefer not to use other's art in my work unless I can juxtapose it in a way that gives rise to an unexpected relationship.

Next Seven Miles

This sign was spotted in The Klamath National Forest in Northern California.

Extinguisher Box

"Extinguisher Box" was taken in White City, which began in 1941 as Camp White, an Army training camp. Today much of the town is an industrial area that for me has a surreal feel that I enjoy exploring.

I'm always fascinated by the patterns that fresh rain leaves on new cars.

Rural Directions

I found this personalized road sign by Lake Siskiyou near Mount Shasta City in California.

Frozen Tracks

This section of trackbed in Talent, Oregon was last used in in 2008. A recent $7,000,000 grant from the US Department of Transportation will result in new freight traffic in 2014. Many of us hope that passenger service, which was last available in 1995, will not be far behind.

No Parking II

Engaging graphic design, whether conscious or not, appeals to me. Weathering
gave this sign, which I spotted near the Oregon Coast, a character that could hardly have been imagined by its makers.

Factory Windows

Shooting through a wet window created a partially faceted finish on these factory windows in Medford, Oregon.

Zooming Semi

This semi was taken in far Northern California on Interstate 5 as it approached Southern Oregon.

Cab Aura

I was drawn to the play of fog and condensation on the windshield of this weathered pickup truck.

Pickup and Weeds

It's hard for me to drive past weathered trucks without wanting to stop and photograph. I was particularly drawn to the way this pickup blended with its surroundings.

3 Wires & A Window

I found this wall during a walk in Portland, OR.

Subtle nuance is a favorite theme. It's also at the heart of our Unseen Ashland Photo Exploration this Saturday morning, November 10. If you'd like to find out more about our exploration, click here. "Fall Wall" was taken on Second Street in Ashland.

Wet Alley

"Wet Alley" was taken through a car windshield along one of Ashland's backstreets.

Road Lines Gone Wild

"Road Lines Gone Wild" started out as two yellow lines. I've always liked the image, but felt it to be too minimal. This week I decided to use the lines as a departure point.
