Jes, Train Tracks and a Bridge...

Music | Goodbye Pork Pie Hat by Charles Mingus

Cold, bone chilling winds, a great location and the possibility of the law to take us away, we quickly forged ahead to get these shots. I had seen this spot only from afar, but looked exactly as I had imagine when we got up there. Because this bridge crosses the Columbia river, I knew security would be tight, but I still thought we would be able to get in and out fast enough. After not even 5 minutes, as we made out way back down to the car, I saw the Police drive up and I knew we would be questioned. After convincing the officer we were there only to shoot these photos, of which he was quite impressed with, I think, he still got our identification and called dispatch to make sure we weren't on the 10 most dangerous wanted list.

The tracks and bridge was our second location and we only spent just a little more time at the first. Though cloudless skies looked inviting, I was reminded of how the midwest blue skies with frigid temps always fooled me.

Jes was a wonderful subject making the best of the conditions that we had to deal with. The results turned out fantastic.
