Astoria/Portland
After a loud night in Astoria, I made my way up to the Astoria Column for early morning views of the Columbia River under heavy coastal clouds. From there, I drove to Portland and spent time inside Powell’s City of Books, getting lost in photography shelves and old techniques that still matter. A day of travel, history, and small moments that shaped the experience.
