working on this project with Portland writer Lisa Wells, we received a Regional Arts & Culture Council
project grant to document a few very small towns in central and eastern
Oregon) -- I drove 1700 miles and visited 4 small towns. I shot more
than 25 rolls of film. And, for the first time in a long time, shot a
lot of medium format film on my Rolleiflex. I developed 12 rolls so
far, here are the best portraits with the Rollei from Fields, Oregon.
First (below) is Mike Ensley...
then Cindy Hoagland...
then Amanda in the tiny town of Diamond (about 60 miles from Fields)...
next is John Hodges...
and the last one from Fields is of Lorin (picking up his mail at the
Fields' post office, which also serves as the town's store, motel and
cafe).
The next 3 are from Long Creek (sometimes pronounced "Long Crick") --
first one is of Sandi and her great grandson Austin (age 4), and puppy
"Token"....
next is Mayor and Fire Chief Don Porter...
and last from Long Creek is Roy Mercer (who shared and early morning cup of coffee with me in front of his wood stove fire).
The last two are from Halfway: first is local ski guide & fire jumper Jordan Manley and his dog "Snag"...
and the second is Scott in one of the two Halfway bars enjoying an afternoon beer.
