This year, our trip takes us across the bottom of Washington State, along the Snake River valley, through Yakima, Walla Walla and Clarkston on the way to the mountains near McCall, Idaho. From there, we cross the high deserts of Oregon, passing through Baker City and Bend on the way to the vineyards, restaurants and theatre of Ashland Oregon. We round out the trip by looping home along the northern California and Oregon coasts, passing through the coastal redwood city of Trinidad, then moving north through the dunes at Bandon, the beach at Lincoln City and finally, Newman's at Cannon Beach.
Our dailies are shot on Canon compacts - a G10 for Russ and a G11 for Wendy. The pictures are jpegs straight off the cameras - other than downsizing, there is no computer manipulation at all - there really isn't time for Photoshop while we're having fun.
By early 2011, we should have black and white work on our website's "photographs" page. The black and whites are exclusively shot on film, printed in our darkroom and scanned. Russ uses Ilford HP5 and Delta 3200, and Foma 400 in 6x7cm and 4x5 formats. Wendy uses Ilford Delta 400 and SFx in 6x6cm format, and Kodak HIE in 35mm format. Russ is working with Mamiya RZ67 and 7II, ZeroImage 4x5 pinhole, Fotoman PS45 with a superwide 47mm lens, and Linhof Technika V. Wendy is working with Canon F-1, Holga and Mamiya C330F.
