Whereas the rest of the other windows in the little house in the canyon were at least partially broken, this window was completely intact. To further add to the intrigue of this window was the lace curtain adorning the interior and obscuring the view of the demolished and deteriorating kitchen within. This particular window is almost like a window into the past, and gives a glimpse into what this home may have been like long before circumstance forced its abandonment.
The desert sun and wind can wreak havoc on wood, but at the same time- there’s a beautiful quality to this natural erosion. The stark contrast fits the mood and the location uniquely.
This is one of the more vivid scenes of industrial leftovers I came across in the Eastern Oregon desert. The years of sun and wind have seriously taken a toll on this old thresher or other piece of farm equipment. But at the same time, it’s pretty amazing looking, too.
Certainly one of Portland’s most talented models is the lovely Katya Prekrasnaya, here in a brief but amazing studio portrait shoot.
Katya is simply golden. She’s able to pull off multiple looks and styles without missing a beat- from angelic to deadly serious, sultry to mythological. Now if only I can get her to do some conceptual work with me next time…
