Coaldale, Nevada – The Ambition of a Prospector in Petticoats
» ‎ Eponaleah's Photoblography

Tags: [edit]

Warning: Get yourself a cup of coffee and relax. This is going to be a long one. The isolation and decay of the abandoned “modern” buildings at Coaldale Junction, Nevada is a draw for photographers. Abandoned about 1993, it seems that the people living and working in the area simply got up and left, discarding [...]

The Little Nuggets at Goldfield, Nevada

After hubby and I departed Rhyolite, we headed north, toward Reno. I really wanted to see Goldfield, but he, having driven through it as quickly as possible so many times in the past couldn’t understand the draw. We weren’t there at the best time of day for photography, there was a biting chill in the [...]

Welcome to the second of three Rhyolite installments.

Rhyolite – A Photographer’s Delight

I can hear the groans about the title already. Sorry I am such a geek. I think it is some kind of mental tick that I like to rhyme things. I guess that’s why my poetry has never been really popular. Anywho… On my previously mentioned trip to Nevada, hubby and I stayed a [...]

Cinnabar Mines of Central Oregon
» ‎ Eponaleah's Photoblography

Tags: [edit]

Mining in Central Oregon was a booming industry in the early to mid 1900′s. Though there are a few small gold mines around, the majority of mining was for cinnabar, from which was extracted mercury. Many of these mines have since been abandoned, their equipment removed and the buildings pulled down. Most are on private [...]

Has Spring Sprung?

When I moved to Central Oregon 17 years ago, the locals told me that there is the potential for snow to fall on any day of the year. In fact, several old-timers reminisced about that 4th of July snowstorm in nineteen something or other. I kind of swallowed those tales the way one does when [...]

I have always had a fascination with rocks. When I was a kid I had a rock tumbler that stayed in perpetual motion in the garage.

A Few Buttes in Central Oregon
» ‎ Eponaleah's Photoblography

Tags: [edit]

Central Oregon is a geologically interesting area. It owes its geology to volcanic activity, which has been occurring here for the last 45 million years. Things have been pretty quiet in Central Oregon, volcanically speaking, for the last 1300 years. Since Central Oregon experiences eruptions about every 500 years, we, it seems, are overdue.

When my photography journey began way back in the early ’80′s (can I really be that old?), the rage in wall portraits was to print portraits (or emboss or press them) onto textured masonite. The portraits were durable, easy to frame, and depending upon the texture the client selected, could imitate the look of canvas, [...]

Okay, I’ll admit it. I’m a color junkie. I don’t do much black and white work. I am one of those photographers drawn to color. Very colorful images are kind of like fast-food for the vision; easy to consume without thinking too much about the quality of the work. Although color can add to a good image, [...]

I don’t know exactly why I am drawn to these decaying and often desolate places, but their appeal to me is undeniable.

Though Christmas was invented as a religious holiday, celebrating the birth of Christ, or Christ’s Mass, it has certainly become a secular catch-all celebration.

If you live in Central Oregon and would like a professional pet portrait done at a great value, come on in to the Mini Pet Mart on Sunday, July 25th between 1 and 5 pm. Don’t put this off because I won’t be doing these pet photography events forever… especially at these insanely low prices!

Mini Pet Mart Sitting – Puck
» ‎ Eponaleah's Photoblography

Tags: [edit]

Another fun sitting with a gorgeous 130 pound German Shepherd named Puck – after the Shakespeare character in Midsummer Night’s Dream, not for the sport of Hockey! Puck was also known as Robin Goodfellow, and that is what this wonderful dog is… a good fellow. What a great big love! Thanks for letting me photograph [...]

Central Oregon Wildflowers (via Eponaleah’s Photoblography)
» ‎ Eponaleah's Photoblography

Tags: [edit]

I have updated this post with more Central Oregon Wildflower images. I continue to take more photos as the wildflower cycles advance. Hope you enjoy the pictures. It may not feel like summer is swiftly approaching, but the wildflowers in Central Oregon don't know it. The wastes and the wildlands are putting on a show [...]

Recycled Writing
» ‎ Eponaleah's Photoblography

Tags: [edit]

Well, I could smell it coming. I began to grow suspicious when the link for open writing assignments mysteriously disappeared. My Vertical Manager didn’t seem concerned though and continued to assign me writing assignments. He should have worried. Mahalo has redesigned their business model, at least as far as writers are concerned. Come July [...]

Tags: [edit]

From the first Mini Pet Mart Pet Photography Event, may I present Sunny! She is a 5 month old St. Bernard, and her owner wanted some shots of her in and out of her dress. She was a doll about the entire thing, even though it was the first really warm day of the season [...]

Central Oregon Wildflowers
» ‎ Eponaleah's Photoblography

Tags: [edit]

It may not feel like summer is swiftly approaching, but the wildflowers in Central Oregon don’t know it. The wastes and the wildlands are putting on a show of understated beauty. If you don’t know where to look, or if you aren’t paying close attention, you just might miss it altogether. If you are watching [...]

Willow Creek Cemetery at Grizzly, Oregon
» ‎ Eponaleah's Photoblography

Tags: [edit]

The Grizzly cemetery, like many pioneer era cemeteries occupies private land. Like cemeteries everywhere, it is full of long forgotten stories. This cemetery is reputed to be the final resting place of Aaron Harlan Crooks and Stephen J Jory, the pair that made the fatal mistake of trying to fence off a section of Luke [...]

Ghosts of Grizzly’s Past
» ‎ Eponaleah's Photoblography

Tags: [edit]

As heard at Burmeister’s Stockman’s Exchange Saloon Faro tables… “Let the cards remain where they fall and the Devil take the hindmost!” Central Oregon doesn’t readily spring to mind when people think about the wild, wild west, but Prineville and some of the surrounding areas were about as wild as they came. Back in the [...]

The Photography Landscape
» ‎ Eponaleah's Photoblography

Tags: [edit]

Lots of people pick up a camera originally because they want to record the memories of a travel vacation or to capture a pretty scene. Most of the time they are disappointed with the landscape pictures they ended up with because the images they snapped don’t resemble the scene they recorded in their memory. Successful landscape [...]

Flower Photography
» ‎ Eponaleah's Photoblography

Tags: [edit]

If you want to skip directly to the flower pictures, scroll down… Here it is nearly May and I think the Central Oregon weather gods are finally going to cooperate and allow springtime to turn her face in our direction. Winter has been blustery, gray, dreary and just generally cold and miserable. Adding insult to injury, [...]

How to Take Great Baby Photos
» ‎ Eponaleah's Photoblography

Tags: [edit]

I wrote quite an in-depth photography article for Mahalo not too long ago about how to take baby photos. I thought I would touch on some of the important points in the article, and if you are interested in more in depth information you can check the article out for yourself. Taking great photos of [...]
