Opal Creek

Oregon, USA [Summer 2013]

It's been awhile

ITS BEEN AWHILE.

This past week I went on an adventure to explore out past Portland heading north-west up

route 8, onto route 6, through 47 and home on route 30.

In that small expanse, there was incredible scenery and great off-road paths to explore.

Looking forward to many more explorations this summer.

Gales Creek - First and longest stop, got lost in the woods and scaled

the drop off to reach the road.

North West River highway - Found abandoned farm houses with a 

tabby and hungry horses.

Route 47 - Towards Veronia, discovered old train tracks, an abandoned trailer,

 old boat and gutted volkswagons.

Some favorites of the day:

 In need of some inspiration and motivation, weekly plans have been set to explore the NW to shoot with my good friend Reid. Finally remembering how important it is to watch the progression and steps taken, rather than solely investigating the outcome.

Time to be serious about the process: not only the end result.
