The Whale

I love Eastern Oregon. This wood is completely weathered out from the intense dryness and brutal, constant sun. I noticed the face in this board, looking somewhat like a whale. Portrait, taken.

 #69   What Window?

Found a sweet leather couch just hangin’ out in the middle of some massive room in a massive complex near Wilsonville, OR (circa 2008). Decided to shoot Model: Erin Dierking on it, with the help of stylist: Alicia Elfving.

 #55   The Hidden Church

I love when nature takes over and is left unchecked by civilization- It may hide or even destroy old architectural ruins, but something about the process is so intimate, so delicately balanced…

 #36   Land Surfing

This old farmhouse has either been moving or the ground itself has…

Take a close look at the bottom right corner- doesn’t it look like the old thing is casually surfing on some gentle wave?

 #35   High Water Mark

Not entirely sure what the story is, here. It looks like someone built a building next to a wash, ravine, or small canyon. Weather did what it all too often does so well, and caught them by surprise one day. As you can see, the back of the building has fallen into the ravine.

 #34   Cold Front

Near the old Shoe-Tree sat this imposing old building. We didn’t go much closer to it than this.
