I stopped at a few points in the Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park; it was really beautiful.

Long before I was taking photos with a camera though. Time to plan a trip back.

What an adventure!

My first time at Crater Lake, I was stopping by after visiting the redwoods in northern California. I somehow messed up my GPS and was navigating a different route back to the redwoods instead of my home in Portland.

I didn't notice for 3 hours. -_-;;

Oh, you haven’t seen anything yet Devin…

I paparazi’d you so hard, I could fill a whole album of you making faces. 🤣

Not belated for another two hours, thank you Jason!

Thank you, that genuinely means so much to me.

Looking forward to burning through more of my editing backlog and posting more soon!

Thank you! 🙏🏻

Thank you! 🙏🏻

And hat tip to @trav.page from @storacha.network for unknowingly but very serendipitously wishing me a happy birthday during the last lightning talk of the day (though still not sure what a technocrat is).

Looking forward to rocking the bright red beanie around Portland.

That’s exactly how I read it on the closing ceremony slides, like Mario Mario. 🍄

A hand holds a half-eaten Lemon Lavender Ruby Jewel ice cream sandwich, made with soft yellow cookies and a thick layer of ice cream, with a camera lens resting on the person’s lap. The background shows a purple-striped carpeted floor, a table with papers and snacks, and a lounge area with chairs and people in a casual indoor setting.

Took a break from shooting at #ATmosphereConf for a birthday Ice Cream Sandwich from @kyledrake.com. 🎉🎂

Waves surge vigorously onto a rocky and rugged coastline beneath an expansive, storm-filled sky. The ocean churns in shades of deep blue, slate gray, and frothy white, creating dynamic, overlapping patterns as water collides forcefully against rocks extending into the sea. The vegetation on the rocks presents a rich, dark green hue, contrasting sharply with the cool tones of the waves. The surface of the water is textured and restless, evoking the chaotic beauty and relentless power of the Pacific Ocean during stormy weather. Along the coast, steep cliffs rise dramatically from the sea, their sheer sides displaying an array of earthy colors—dark browns, muted greens, and patches of burnt amber. The cliffs appear weathered, textured by erosion, wind, and waves over countless years, emphasizing the raw, natural power of the elements at work. Wisps of mist and fog hang low, gently drifting along these cliff faces and through the dense clusters of evergreen trees scattered along their upper reaches. These evergreens, silhouetted darkly against the foggy backdrop, lend a sense of quiet strength and resilience to the scene. Further along the horizon, coastal hills recede into layers of mist and low clouds, which soften their outlines, creating a gradual transition from solid ground to cloud-filled sky. The heavy, overcast sky above is awash in shades of soft gray, pale blue, and muted lavender, seamlessly blending with the mist below. Its dense cloud cover diffuses daylight evenly across the landscape, casting a gentle, subdued illumination that enhances the mysterious and moody atmosphere. The overall impression is one of wild, untamed natural beauty, vividly capturing the essence of a Pacific Northwest coastline caught in the midst of turbulent weather.

Now’s a good time. I prefer a stormy day to a peaceful one, much more photogenic.

A stormy coastline scene reveals the Devil’s Punchbowl, a striking sandstone formation on the Oregon Coast. High above the roiling Pacific, the viewer looks down at an immense, bowl-like cavern carved into the brownish-orange sea cliffs. Two large openings along the outer edge allow waves to crash violently into the chamber, where foaming white water swirls and churns against the dark, jagged rocks below. The arch-like roof forming a partially enclosed amphitheater whose natural ceiling is weathered to shades of rust, sienna, and pale tan. The texture of the rock is irregular, bearing numerous ledges, crevices, and pockmarks that hint at centuries of relentless erosion. In the background, the ocean extends to a muted horizon where dark gray clouds hang low. The choppy seas exhibit layers of teal and steel-blue, broken by cresting whitecaps. Strong winds whip the surf into crashing sets, sending bursts of spray high into the air. A nearby offshore outcropping, shaped like a flat-topped island, juts from the turbulent waters, its base enveloped in frothy waves. The sky casts a cool, diffused light over the entire scene, lending the cliffs a subdued, slightly dampened tone. Occasional streaks of reddish color streak the sandstone, standing out in contrast to the slate-like hues of the surging sea. Along the cliffs’ upper edges, sparse tufts of coastal vegetation cling to shallow soil pockets, exhibiting subdued greens and browns. Small pockets of eroded sediment gather at the lip of the Punchbowl, forming sandy patches that glisten with moisture. Devil’s Punchbowl is believed to have formed when two adjacent sea caves collapsed, leaving behind the arched rock roof and open dome that now frames the ocean’s continual assault. During high tides or stormy weather, the interior reverberates with the pounding of waves, providing one of the Oregon Coast’s most dramatic displays of natural erosion at work.

Thank you! 🙏🏻

Thank you! Couldn't be more pleased with the weather and surf that day.

Would love to see a portfolio lexicon adopted into the 1st party Bluesky appview.

Broad support of a portfolio view will slam so many nails into Instagram's coffin.

Really pleased with how the landscape photography feed over at @bluesky.photography is coming along.

Hey Jaycee! Sorry I haven’t had time to sync up, busy week for me with start of a new business quarter. Soon!

Thanks Christoph. Would love to join forces once we have a moderation labeler and reporting queue setup.

Beautiful shot Antonio.

Thank you! 🙏🏻

Looks otherworldly.
