Decided to put my camera in a cheap underwater casing and try and get a new perspective on the frequently photographed scene. Let me know what you think!

My dad and I decided to go up and camp up on Mt Hood. A harsh blizzard cleared off and revealed beautiful stars. For only a few moments, there was both falling snow and the view of the stars....

Here is a shot that I took while hiking up at Mt. Rainier. I had totally forgot that I had taken this and was quite happy when I found it amongst my files! :)

A couple of good friends and I drove out to Toroweap overlook for the first time about a week ago and were amazed at the vastness of the place. I hope that I can even bring a glimmer of justice to this vast and magnificent place. Enjoy,

Last night was the new moon, so I decided to test out my new 16-35mm lens by heading out to the Dalles, to shoot the stars. I made the 2 hour trip out to the old "Emerson House" (I think thats what its called) and arrived at midnight. I got out of my car and it was deathly silent outside. Looking at the old house way out in the field in the utter blackness made me think twice about walking out there. I am by no means superstitious, but when you arrive at a so called "haunted house" at midnight by yourself, your nerves start to get to you. After about twenty minutes of staring at the house, I finally built up enough courage to crawl under the fence and walk out into the field to photograph it. I set up, (and by this point I am really freaking out!) and fired off 4 shots. Then I start hearing noises in the complete silence of the night, but I shrug them off thinking that I am just paranoid. Then something tips over in the house, it was an unmistakable noise. (really, really freaking out by now!!!!! eek!) My mind starts making up all sorts of explanations. THen I hear an awful blood curdling screech, and 2 very large birds came stampeding out screeching and hollering strait at me. I freak out, run-- trip, run -dive, freak out that I almost broke my new 16-35, scramble under the fence leap into my car, and speed off as fast as I can. I do not think I will be back to the Emerson house, unless it is with a very large parade of people :) This is one of the 4 shots that I got before I was chased out by some pterodactyl screeching bird thing. ( I never did see what type of bird, looked too big to be an ordinary owl) (could have been a vulture) :) THis image was made by using a flash light to paint light on onto the old building. Enjoy!

My friend Christian and I headed out to "Thors Well" last night. We wanted to get a little closer than the normal, so being freaked out like normal, we tied ourselves off on some rocks and stood right on the edge of this huge chasm. I am rather glad that we decided to tie off because I was slammed really hard and knocked over multiple times.... scary spot. My camera took the beating pretty well. I was pleasantly surprised that my camera held up against the onslaught of sea salt and water. But just when I though I was safe, as I was opening the front door of my house, SLIP EEEEEEEK! I dropped my camera as I was digging out my keys, and the lens shattered :( .__.
It turns out, this was a rather expensive trip. :(

The Grand Demonstration

Hi,
Today I headed out to the gorge with my grandpa and we had a killer time. We did the hike to Metlako falls on Eagle Creek in the rain. Scrambling off-trail, we found this interesting perspective of this incredible falls. I tied off on a tree and laid down in the creek to get this shot. Although it is difficult to tell in this image, this is about a 60 degree incline, down a 150 foot epic waterside (which would be a lot of fun until you hit the bottom) :) I thought I was all fancy because I bought some cool waterproof pants, but when you lay on your belly facing down on a 60 degree incline, the water just flows up your pants. Then since the pants are water proof, it does not let the water out, until you stand up! Very cold! I hope you can FEEL the wet in this image! Your comments are appreciated.

I had heard that this place was tricky to get to. It definitely was, and I made it in my skinny jeans! Buyah!
