Under Bandon Skies - Bandon, Oregon - a photo on Flickriver

Portfolio & Services

2100 miles.
5 days.

That was our whirlwind trip in a nutshell as Kendra and I drove up through Oregon and Washington to attend the 2010 ICP Awards in Seattle. This photo contest is held every other year by Art Wolfe and focuses on the power of photography to help conservation.

Along the way, we stopped for sunset and sunrise in Bandon along the southern Oregon coast. We scouted a few locations on our way to Pacific City and Cape Kiwanda before getting to our friend little m's house just north of Seattle on Friday.

The Burke Museum in Seattle kicked off the three month showing of the winning images with bang. Wine, artisan sandwiches (yum), and an amazing display of photography were on hand. Meeting Art Wolfe was a highlight as was the after party organized by Jon Cornforth. Sean Bagshaw and David Cobb were in attendance, two members of Photo Cascadia, as were Kah Kit Yoong and Todd Mintz. Seattle's own, Dene Miles and Aaron Reed, also joined in on the fun.

Here is an image from our first stop in Bandon. The striking sea stacks located here has always called to me, and although the sunset was devoid of color, I was still happy just to experience them. I tried to emphasis their shapes with silhouettes by waiting for the sun to get low enough in the sky to create better contrast. I look forward to my next trip here and hopefully I'll have more time, more days, and more images to share.
