Winner

Rebuild and destroyThis is my winning picture in the Professional Category for the Photo Of The Year contest, which had it’s awards ceremony at the Oregon Historical Society this weekend. It was pretty fantastic to see it printed on a wall, people looking and talking about it. With some of the proceeds of the event going towards Outdoor School it was also nice to learn that I have a testimonial about my experience at outdoor school in their new book Counting the Rings. It was an amazing weekend.

Get up already

Peaceful RestI haven’t done a lot of middle of the night star and cool landmark photography. I live in the downtown of a city and we might see 200 total stars on any given clear night. But I watched some time lapse video’s from http://www.timescapes.org/ and his video “learning to Fly” so I did, and it’s amazing how fast stars move in 30 seconds…amazing stuff But after the sun comes up I have experience at that stuff, I was pretty happy at my night stuff.

Mount St. Helens

sometimes you have to gamble on the weather
View Larger And On Black
I got up really early, or did I get up really late? Either way my alarm was set for 1am. I guess we can go with got up late because the clerk at Plaid Pantry did say have a nice night. I arrived at Johnston Ridge Observatory at 3:30am and it was spooky. Mostly because their was another car in the parking lot but it also had something to do with my ear were ringing because it was so quite. Zero sounds, just a river a few miles down the way, a water spout that was dripping and a loose sign up on the hill that reminded people to stay on the trail. It was a horrible drive up, a lot of fog and a giant mysterious elk that was or was not in the road hidden by fog. I had my fingers crossed that the fog would die off or something, never would of guessed that 4000 feet up you would end up above clouds and fog for a clear shot at the mountain. I will go back and do this again, maybe just staying up and getting there earlier or just camping and doing it Louis and Clark style.
