I’ve been finishing up a book on Santa Cruz California. The town is well known for it’s Boardwalk which includes an amusement park with an old wooden roller coaster and carnival games. It has a long history and is still a favorite destination among Northern Californians during the summer months. I came to find a cover shot or the Boardwalk but a wicked fog rolled in.
When I first visited Portland in November of 2007, I had the privilege of being on the set of an aspiring photographer, Alicia Rose, to view her rendition of a project called fairy tales. The photographer asked me to hold off posting my images from the set until her gallery of images had been displayed locally. This photograph was taken during a break in shooting using the modeling lights. This gives the photograph a different appearance than the image in the gallery due to the ambient light bleeding into the forest of Sauvie Island. This is my favorite from the series.
Just up the road from the city of Santa Cruz is Wilder Ranch State Park. I was wandering around the barn trying to capture the essence of what the Ranch used to be in the 1890s when D.D. Wilder built the original farm. I found this restored horse barn to tell the story.
