There was a theme this week. It started with the idea of shoes, then walking and migrated into the idea of “where my feet have been”. I kept the concept close to home and decided I’d like to showcase some of the landscapes that I’ve taken here in my town and the surrounding Oregon countryside. These photos will show you a few of the local places near and dear to my heart.
As always, feedback is appreciated and thanks for watching the P.O.T.D. on Twitter.
Enjoy,
Kate
Sunday, June 7th, 2009 – “Shoelema”
Here’s where my idea started. A simple thought procured from the snapping of a shoe photo. Places my feet have been. It’s funny, really. I’ve never really traveled far from home. Fear maybe? Comfort most likely. Not to say that I haven’t explored the regions surrounding my little town of Grants Pass, Oregon. Oregon has an abundance of natural anomalies and sites to see. Here in my POTD this week, are a few of the most beautiful places around me.
Monday, June 8th, 2009 – “Stroke”
This is my favorite landscape that I’ve ever taken. I love the place, a little swimming hole at Palmerton Park in Rogue River, Oregon. I also love the post processing treatment here. I originally wrote a short piece of flash fiction about this photo. You can read it here.
Tuesday, June 9th, 2009 – “My Valley”
Here’s another photo that received it’s own blog. The natural beauty of the Rogue River always amazes me. Read more on my feelings surrounding this photo here.
Wednesday, June 10th, 2009 – “Caveman Bridge”
Yay! It’s the historic Caveman Bridge! I love this photo! I want to make a postcard out of it. This photo went under a massive overhaul. It’s the subject of one of my Photoshop Tech blogs. See it’s transformation here.
Thursday, June 11th, 2009 – “A Little Something Special”
I’m sure I’ve mentioned it a thousand times recently but, I’m starting a series featuring business in my town that have become victims of the current economic environment.
Friday, June 12th, 2009 – “Grants Pass Night Life”
My first night shot in a very long time, this photo features the main drag in my town, as well as our town slogan. “It’s the Climate” the sign boasts. It’s something, for sure.
Saturday, June 13th, 2009 – “Rogue River at Hellgate Canyon”
This photo has been taken a million times by a million different photographers but I still am proud of it. I took this one on a motorcycle photo excursion. You can view more photos from that trip here. (All photos on P.O.T.D. are available for viewing in the gallery. Thanks for visiting www.katiekapow.com.)
