Camera: Olympus 35 RD. Film: Fomapan 200. Hello friends! It's another installment of "Attempts to explore the Westside more". This time we'll be heading to a pretty popular trail: Fanno Creek.

New Society of Three Speeds membership kits PRE-ORDER

Hello, friends of Three Speeds. It’s time for a refresh of the Society of Three Speed’s logo. The current logo was designed almost three years ago. It’s not “too old” by any means. And while I do like how it came out at the time, now I realize that it’s just a little bit too...

Welcome to another year of the Coffeeneuring Challenge! This annual event, headed up by the esteemed Mary of Chasing Mailboxes, has been going on for most of the decade.
