Drive up, Get out, Get lost One of the reason I love the Pacific Northwest if for moments like these. The coast is so long and varied, that you can find your own personal spot(s). I call is personal, cause in those few places you instantly feel connected – kind of a bridge between thrust urban and the subtle but all encompassing nature. The below is one such lovely remote spot between cannon beach and new port – where you just drive up, get out and get lost - in the beauty of the ocean as the sun bids adieu for the day over the horizon.
So many of my smiles begin with you
Cookie Monster & Light Painting with Steel Wool Light painting is an amazing technique that I came across from my friends at flickr and facebook. It can involve simple light writing with led lights to really complex and creative compositions. For years I had been intrigued by this and tried a few simple ones in the past. One of the techniques involves the use of steel wool and couple of DIY kits. Couple of weeks back when my friend Gary extended an invite for steel wool spinning in the George area, I was all exited ! It was my first try with this technique, but boy it was fun. It was nice to meet and shoot with such a energetic group ! This particular shot was a result of two spins in parallel from the Bridge at Multnomah falls. How do u like the cookie monster ?!!! By the by, no monsters were harmed in the making of this photograph :)
