Wonderful photos! I want to see Oregon, but it's a bit further from me in Georgia! 😆

It was SUCH a long drive. However, we were able to stop at the Tetons and Yellowstone on the way out and Crater Lake on the way back. At least I had other beautiful locations to see and break up the drive. I can't imagine driving from Georgia!

That sounds like an epic road trip!

Beautiful work!! Cannon Beach is on my list, too, and I hope to go in March. Bodhi and I will be taking road trips out to Oregon now that I’m closer.

It was so beautiful! Try to time it with low tide - I've never seen so many starfish before. The sea life on the bottom of Haystack Rock is amazing!

Thank you for the tip!

PS the lowest low tides are in the spring and fall. You don't see many starfish in summer and winter.

Great photographs. And as an Oregonian, i really enjoy when other photographers visit and enjoy our beautiful state. Next visit, Central Oregon. If you remember, drop me a note and i will fill you in on the stunning scenery we have over here.

Will do. Thanks for sharing!

Me too. I also live in central Oregon, and will be willing to tour-guide you, or just meet for coffee -- something that Charlie Borland has so far declined to do.

I’m so glad you got to spend some time on the Oregon coast! We spent a week in Waldport in December, and it felt like we were in the tropics. It was so warm. Love the coast, I’ve been an Oregonian my whole life.

I grew up on the Oregon coast, and have seen those places you mention so many times that they are boring to me. I live inland now, in the mountains and don't care if I never see the coast again.

But you're a good photog. Thanks for coming out to Oregon for a visit!

PS in my Substack's Really Old Stuff (posted a couple of years ago) there are a few posts with my shots of the Oregon coast.

Wonderful photos and commentary! Love Ansel Adams’ works so your title intrigued me. I worked in commercial printing in San Francisco late 80s. Our company was in a business park in Brisbane south of SF. For some reason I was sent to a small kind of divey old printing shop near 101 freeway a few miles away to pick something up. The older guy did specialty work. He was cordial and we got to talking. Turns out he had printed some of Adams’ work!!!! I was astounded and rightfully awed. He said you know how he got that crisp look? Of course I did not. He said he’d put it in a microwave first and few seconds later pull it out. Hand to god.I just loved that this guy knew and worked with Adams and by chance I met him, just by being in San Francisco at that moment in my life. And my boss knew the older printer etc etc and sent me there. Sometimes life really delivers.
