Oregon Coast - Lighthouses

Oregon Coast

Lighthouses

     Oregon Coast, one of the most breath taking scenes of the pacific line. As an amateur photographer I couldn't even come close to capturing 1% of its beauty. Its coastal lighthouses also had something more to add to its charm. There are 11 lighthouses along the coast and the Yaquina Head Lighthouse was the most exquisite to me.

     Lighthouses always feels older and wiser to me. It can be spoken to it's architecture to the serenity of its lonesome. It with held many storms, and guided voyagers through these storms. They carry stories than no other, from romantic maiden waiting to scary haunted keepers. Regardless of its past stories, anyone and everyone visiting it finds to tell a new story of their own.

Pinhole Journey


 
Photography is and has been a very long journey for me that started in 2000. The most fun I have had in this journey is taking pictures with film and Pinhole cameras.

Pinhole camera is by far the only way to understand how taking pictures works. I had to manually make the camera with an empty oat meal cylinder cardboard box. A hole in the size of a pin and used unexposed photo paper as the negative and developed it in a dark room. This is how I learnt how light can over or under expose a image and work best without light meter. 

As much as I would like to write about these images. I would like my viewers to have their own feel of these images.
