a slow drive up the Columbia River Gorge

December 29, 2009  |  Travel

On monday, I was asked to document a wedding at the Historic Multnomah Falls Lodge in the Columbia River Gorge, just outside Portland. The wedding was amazing, I’ll post photos from it as soon as the bride and groom se the images and “o.k.” the post….

But, on the drive to the wedding, I left early, simply so I could take the slow road up to the lodge, stopping at Crown Point and making pictures along the winding road that home to close to a dozen waterfalls.

I did post a few images shot from my cell phone on my FaceBook page, comments have been wonderful, but here, this is where I’ll post the real images, shot with the “big” camera….. enjoy.

  1. Steve,

    How in the world did you get these pictures up on your web page so fast??
    I barely had time to look at mine, and I live here. Did you take the first picture, the one of the gorge and Vista House taken from the Women’s Forum the day I met you? If so, I’m impressed with the results you got. Mine looked nothing like that!
    I guess if I am going to go too much further in photography, I will need to be able to shoot pictures in freezing weather with street clothes on without fingers becoming so numb I can’t adjust the camera settings! I thought Florida was a warm climate. You evidently haven’t lost much of your Northwest ability to withstand the cold. It was enjoyable meeting you and learning of your company and background. You are an inspiration for me to keep working at composition and just taking a bunch of pictures. I listened strongly when you suggested looking at all the pictures possible taken by the ‘big boys’. I certainly would place you in that esteemed group-
    Take care. Maybe we’ll run into one another again at some photo opportunity-
