  • ✨ Just out here in Oregon taking the best photos of my life. . But seriously though, ever since I moved here I've been dying to shoot "night sky over mount hood" and put my aurora borealis photography learnin's to the test. So this weekend when I was out at Lost Lake it became a must do. The evening I had planned to do it, my camera battery started flashing. It was about to die (I had no spare battery and no power source - lesson learned!). I knew I had very little time to get the shot. I sat there, in the dark fiddling around trying different exposures and not getting anywhere near what I wanted. I snapped this and as I went to review I caught a glimpse (enough to make me excited!) and the camera died. I didn't get to see it until 14 hours later! It was like developing film again. But it was worth the wait, I'm so chuffed! . Inspired by my grandfather's notes on all the photos in his albums, here are the specs: shot on Canon 5D Mark iii, 40mm prime lens, ISO 2500, 30 sec exposure at 2.8 fstop. During the exposure I used my headlamp to paint in the foreground and create the illumination effect. Very minimally edited, adjusted contrast and removed extra light flares from the headlamp.
  • A lake-ly story. More shenanigans in (omg NOT the link in profile) but my IG STORY. Limited time only unless I decide I like it enough to move to highlights.... 📷✨ @chrlstnjoe
  • 🗻💎 Winter in Oregon - a little round up of my seasonal escapades in my new state now on ze blog. This shot of Mount Hood at Trillium Lake was shot with my 40mm lens through a crystal prism - giving the reflection effect!
  • When people ask me what I miss about Los Angeles, I say Joshua Tree. Yeah, I know. Here's some pics from a moment in time at the Krblin Jihn Kabin. Which is a really strange place. More about it and even more snaps on le blog (link in profile)
  • Kind of got used to Cuba being an annual thing, so missed it this year. Pondering the ways in which it could have changed already.
