Ropes & knots.

One of the many new experiences of our photo seminar was visiting the docks in Waldport & Newport to get up close and personal with the fishing and crab boat fleets.  The photo opportunities were extraordinary because we were able to go right up to the boats, the gear storage yards and walk through the commercial activity. 

 Specifically, the ropes and knots caught our eye.  This group of images are our view of this colorful integral part of shipboard fishing activity. 



Back from Oregon

It has been a while since we last posted on our blog. 30+ days of 100+ degrees of heat, and little incentive to take a picture or even leave home. Fortunately we opted out of Texas for a few days at Coastal Oregon. Our dear friends Carol and Chris were hosting a photo workshop and we eagerly anticipated a change of scenery, unique photo opportunities and time with incomparable Carol and Chris.

What a great trip. We started in Waldport and spent 4 days exploring the coast to Astoria and finally we hung a right to Portland for a day before returning to Texas.

Elena and I have taken so many pictures that frankly seem pretty interesting. Now embark on post processing adventures to get the best out of these pictures.

Check in from time to time and see what you think.
