Normally a day trip to the Oregon coast in the middle of January means you'll fight with a lot of rain, fog, wind, and perhaps snow and ice over the Coast Range passes. The coast is where you go in the summer to escape the heat of the valley and catch up on some much needed sun. But... Oregon likes to keep it's people on their toes. So, when a sunny day with temperatures in the 60's presents itself in January...you make a dash for the coast! The days are still short this time of year, but the views are timeless.
I like to photograph trees and wood. Driftwood offers a wide variety of photographic opportunities - textures, shapes, lines, and of course, the setting. Stripped bare of branches and foliage, these mangled remains, laid to rest by the tide, are some of my favorite subjects.
