Photography Adventure to Fort Rock, Oregon

This Friday, my dad and I took a drive out to Fort Rock. It is about 30 miles East of Bend. We were experimenting with a "new" style of photography...and by "new" I mean new to us. It seems as though everyone knew about this but us! HA! At any rate, we took our first HDR photos and learned to use the software today. Here are the results! We will definitely be taking another photography adventure soon :)

Birthday Present to Dad

For dad's birthday this year, my family and I headed over to Yachats for a few days of kite flying and chillaxin'. I had just taken my nursing boards and was more than happy to get away from PDX and "forget" about the stress. My parents met me after a couple days at Mogfest- an annual gathering of off-roading gurus; in which they participated in the DAF.

DAF has been all over the world and is a source of great happiness for my family. It was in the DAF that we celebrated my dad's birthday and he opened his gift I made him....

This little piece was another easy and fun one I did after school one day. I love messing with the blues and the contrast with the reds and oranges is great.
