Robin Mae for Into the Wild
🕑 Added 2017-03-07 22:46:49 +0000 UTC I'm heading back to Portland this weekend to work with Robin Mae again, and I'm pretty damn excited about it. The nature in the north west a stones throw away from Portland and Seattle is one of the big reasons we finally settled on moving out here. I can't set foot in these forests without seeing a million spots I want to shoot in.I learned to appreciate the little things living on the east coast. I am constantly blown away by the huge things on the west coast. The tree's bend under the weight of the moss, the waterfalls plummet and cascade over basalt rock formations. This is an easy place to fall in love with, and finding amazing people to that appreciate this with the some wonder to work with is a reward of its own.
Robin and I shot last summer at lower Panther Creek falls. A pretty perilous little place to get to you. You hike down a narrow cliff side to Panther Creek falls, then you hike down an even narrower cliff side to get to the lower falls. Not content with having engaged in enough danger we both slide carefully across a tree that had fallen across Panther Creek's very fast moving current to the opposite bank, so that we had a little more to work with compositionally.
Fun fact: I am terrified of heights. I still go a lot of high places, but I do so with much trepidation. So sliding across a wet tree trunk 6 feet over a swift moving current with my camera bag, tripod, and pounding heart is sort of a personal hell.
Still I go for the photos. Camera not in hand I'd be rather content to stay safe, dry, and on the opposite bank.
