Towards the end of each year, I produce a short video capturing some of the highlights of my photographic journeys for the year. In the 2018 post, I mentioned I could not imagine topping all the places visited for 2019. But, I believe I did!
The Photograph Journeys for 2019
2019 started off with an adventure to Oregon but under sad conditions. A life-long friend died in a car accident on December 30, 2018. I found out on January 1st. I hit the road towards Oregon to support her husband on January 2nd. Despite the reason for the trip, my photographer buddy, Circe and I made the most of it.
In August another trip was prompted by another life-long friend’s illness. The destination for that trip was Oroville. Thankfully, my friend is okay, but at the time her prognosis was questionable.
Several places I’ve visited before, many I had not. So, here we go:
- Grants Pass, Oregon
- Fort Bragg, Oregon
- Bandon Beach, Oregon
