Portland, OR

My best friend has invited me to go on vacation! We met at Portland, Oregon and had one insane line up set up. The first stop was to visit Halloweentown at St Helens, OR. The day was very rainy so not a lot of photographs was taken and it was worrying how waterlogged my Hasselblad got.

Halloween town was fun but it is time for the real photography to kick start. We stopped in Astoria to check out the sights and view the Astoria-Megler Bridge. We were hopping over that bridge to go to Cape Disappointment in Washington. This was my 2nd time visiting Cape Disappointment and it honestly does not Disappoint. My friend even decided to surprise me by going for an impromptu swim while fully dressed, very entertaining to watch.

This was a fun short trip. The weather was challenging on these vintage cameras but they persevered and got me some amazing shots and some memories too. I am excited for the next adventure together!
