My good friend and critique partner Stephanie Mooney has been on a creative kick lately, which includes a beautiful revival of her Instagram account. I adore her aesthetic, and I am inspired by her renewed energy.
“Suddenly I saw what photography could be: a tremendously potent pure art form, an austere and blazing poetry of the real.”
Ansel Adams
This past weekend I visited a long-time friend who now lives in Eugene, Oregon. We checked out the building where she works (on campus at the University of Oregon) and then took in their art museum. It was a low-key and refreshing trip* — and so lovely to reconnect in person.
*Until the last day, when I was supposed to return home, and instead woke to over 8 inches of snow, which the city of Eugene was wholly unprepared for. Long story short, after half a day of flight delays, cancellations, and reroutings, I managed to hitch a ride with a stranger to the Portland airport and then catch a red eye through Atlanta. Not ideal, but I did eventually make it home.
One response to “Oregon in photos”
That mention was so sweet! I was stopping by your website just now to get inspiration from you, because I’m considering starting up blogging again. So it’s obviously mutual. I’ve always loved this particular category of your posts. <3
