Human powered exploration. Bicycles. Touring. Camping. Film Photography. Portland!
Heads up! I've got a new blog post up on 35mmc. It's about using my 📸 Olympus 35 RD with some expired 🎞Kodak Ektachrome 200 slide film when Emee and I rode the Deschutes River Trail last month as part of our Gorge visit. Check out the blog post here. More photos from that adventure... Continue Reading →
Wow. It's been two weeks since we returned from our The Dalles Trip. Better write this before I forget! Emee and I spent nearly a week in the Columbia Gorge again, this time concentrating around The Dalles, Oregon. This is the full transition to "The Dry Side", where grass, sagebrush, and occasional juniper dominates. It's... Continue Reading →

But the concept is easier than the execution, at least for the month of May, as... Continue Reading →
Camera: Minolta SR-T 101. Lens: MC Rokkor-X PG 50mm f/1.4 Film: Kodak Ektachrome 100 It had been almost three months since our trek to the Oregon Coast. Emee and I were getting cabin fever, needing to go somewhere. It's still COVID times and we don't want to go far, so we opt for places within... Continue Reading →
Horsetail Falls, 25 Aug 2020. Ricoh 35 ZF, Arista EDU 200. If you've been around here long enough, you know that riding out to the Columbia Gorge is one of my favorite things to do. It's close (within 30 miles of my front door) and features lots of great scenery. But the last few years... Continue Reading →
August had turned into a month of travel. After almost a half-year of cooped-upness due to Pandemic, the urge to get out while the weather is great has gripped us. Emee and I have kept our travels modest, nothing further than three hours (the whole "full tank of gas" strategy.) First it was the trip... Continue Reading →
