Searching for a camp spot, we found a long dirt road that we drove down and discovered this amazing little spot. We cleared it out, and discovered the moss bench (back of photo) and built a fire. Right next to this spot there is a rushing river which makes it the perfect setting to fall asleep to!

Over the summer, my best friend Grant and I went backpacking. I captured this shot naked, shortly before sunset, just after we hopped out of the pools surrounding our camp. It was magical and all too much fun.

This was taken at a small pull off in Crescent, OR. The view of this mountain (diamond peak) was so far away that it was barely visible in the distance. I got out the biggest lens I had and was amazing to see these wonderful scenes. Weirdly enough it was also snowing. This was in July.

The first piece of wild I visited in Oregon, way back in 2012. The trail here is easy and accessible; the memories and learnings since are rugged, overpowering, and constant, and ultimately awesome. Like the river.

Had a three day weekend so I went out to Salem with a few friends to explore the Silver Falls State Park, which did not disappoint. Snapped a few pics, and this one really turned out.

Abiqua falls is difficult to reach. First, you have to reach the middle of nowhere. Then, you take a thoroughly messed up “road” on foot or by car. Finally, you have to scramble down a hill, and about 1/4 mile over rocks next to a river. At least you reach Abiqua. Yeah, it’s worth it. This was by far my favorite waterfall I’ve ever experienced – go if you can do so carefully! The best waterfall experience was followed up with a pretty strange one: a group of people decided to take up target practice with rifles next to our car. This area isn’t a part of a park so it’s unprotected.

From the parking lot at Heceta Head Lighthouse, you have to walk up a gravel road to the lighthouse and ancillary buildings. Along the walk, I saw this nice view of the rocky ocean shore south of the lighthouse.

Snow covered mountains at Crater Lake

I was traveling from Los Angeles to Portland solo for a work show. I had never drove past the northern California boarder and was excited to be able to make the journey all the way up. I took the long route, I-5 didn’t make the cut. Two lane highways, no rush, nothing but me and the drive. I decided to detour even further north-east than planned just to see what was the deal with Crater Lake, probably one of my best moves on that trip. I had got there around 9am and was able to see shades of blue I had never witnessed in nature before.

Wine lovers: This is your happy place. Wine country in the Willamette Valley in Oregon, at sunset. Whenever I fly my drone, I usually take a photo right after taking off and one right before landing. These are usually throw-away photos that simply help me remember exactly where I was at in case I want to go back. However, this shot of the vineyards scattered over those rolling fields was worthy of sharing.

Yesterday we took a trip out to Smith Rock State Park to soak in Oregon’s High Desert. It’s the perfect outdoor adventurer’s playground with sheer cliffs made up of volcanic layers of basalt and tuff with the Crooked River cutting it’s way through the canyon. Climbers enjoy this area, and there are many trails for easy to moderate/hard hikes.

If I had chosen a more lucrative profession, I would definitely buy one of these houses. There's a cool and mysterious cave at the back of this small cove that actually leads all the way to the other side of this strip of land that sticks out into the Pacific Ocean in Depoe Bay, Oregon.

While on vacation at the beach we went to a sand-sculpture contest. Most of the entries were okay, but it was also very crowded. We wandered on down the beach and found this non-entrant, tucked neatly behind a large log of driftwood. It reminded me of childhood vacations to the beach as well as the human need to create.

This is one of the oldest hydroelectric plants in the world, located in Oregon City, Oregon, on the Willamette River. I love old industrial places--especially when they're still in operation. Fun fact: This is where the first long-distance power lines in the United States--outside of Thomas Edison's Menlo Park--were installed, carrying electricity to Portland.
