Wordless Wednesday: Nighttime Commute
TWO5: 7/23/18
I’m working on an exciting new project! I love this new idea, and I’ll be sharing it with you soon (can’t wait? my awesome patrons already know what’s happening!).
But while I’ve been working on that, it does mean I haven’t posted much to Instagram lately. I did, however, post to 500px last week, so I have those images to share with you this week.
I also noticed when I update the acronym to reference 500px instead of Instagram, I get a fun “TWO 5” thing going on. (more…)

Another week, another set of photos. Do you like these weekly recaps?
As you know, I’m moving more toward 500px over Instagram, but I’m still posting several times a week to both. I have some ideas for new content; I’m going to try to start rolling some of that out soon. Stay tuned!
This first image was from Bryce National Park. I played around a bit with the coloring on this one. It isn’t quite black and white with the red tones, and I like the feel the more sepia-like treatment lends.

Happy Monday, and welcome to a shiny new week! First of all, I’d like to say that today is a special day. It’s our anniversary! Aaron and I have been together a crazy 17 years now. And what’s also cool: this original date back in 2001 also fell on a Monday. We’ve been on a lot of adventures since then (as this website can attest), and you can look forward to many more!
Now, getting to the photos from this week…
You might have noticed last week that I started keeping to a certain color theme. I kept that going this week, but I additionally added a moody tone to my edits for a more uniform look. I’ll try this for a while longer to see how it pans out. What do you think?
This first picture was from a trip out to the Oregon coast. We ended up having a rather remarkable day prior to this planned evening shoot, and we made a fascinating discovery that was far better than this sunset hoped to be. That was a good day.
Soggy Sakura
We can’t always have sunshine when the sakura bloom, but I won’t let the rain stop me!
Portland Winter Light Festival 2018
This festival lights up the winter nights.. and I’m there to photograph it!
TWOI: 2/16/18
This week has been crazy busy.. I’ve been scrambling to process PDXWLF photos (I’ll have a post on that soon!), entertain family, and prepare for a trip to Utah! We just spent our first day in Zion National Park, and I can’t wait to share some of the photos – what an amazing place!
This first photo from Instagram this week was from another national park: Denali! We had some beautiful clouds to contrast the lush landscape. I’d love more time to explore there.
WC: My Favorite Things to Shoot Around Portland
There are so many things I love about Portland, and there’s so much to shoot!
TWOI: 2/9/18
This week on Instagram featured a lot of scenic shots. I’m trying to shoot for a more consistent look on my Instagram, so I’m going to be a bit more particular with the images I choose to feature there. Let me know what you think!
This first one is from Hawaii. This was a beach we wanted to reach, but we had a really late start. We did make it down there (through the mosquitos), just in time for sunset and a darkening trek back up the massive hill. You can read about that adventure in depth here.
This next one is also from our trip to Hawaii – the beautifully cracked lava fields with Mauna Kea looming in the distance. It barely even looks like a mountain the incline is so gradual.
We saw this little guy at the summit of the Savage River Alpine Trail in Denali National Park. And while this isn’t quite a groundhog (he’s a ground squirrel), I chose this image for last week’s Monochrome Madness and for my February 2nd Instagram post. These little guys are so curious!
This is also from Denali National Park. I couldn’t get enough of that mist.
And another from Hawaii. When it’s all rainy and dreary here, I dream of those tropical beaches – of a simpler time.
Getting down to the final two, this was tough. This was for my Weekly Wow this week, though my actual wowing picture is a panorama. You can check it out right here. We were clouded in for the lunar eclipse, but the city sure was beautiful that morning well before dawn.
And finally, my top pick for this week is from beautiful Crater Lake. It’s crazy to think this spot was a complete blizzard only 24 hours prior. Those clouds added some nice texture to the sky, and I just love the colors.
This was also an image from my weekly challenge post this week for the theme “beloved” where I talk about how I wound up shooting the things I do. You can read the post here.
Which image do you like best? I’m always curious to hear what people think, as my personal opinions seem to differ from everyone else’s. Feel free to leave a comment below, and check out daily posts over on my Instagram account.
