Calle Guanajuato (Ashland, Oregon – December 25, 2023)

After playing a little Christmas pickle ball in Lithia Park, I was driving through deserted downtown and noticed that Calle Guanajuato looked particularly different. Not only was the lighting nice, there were no people for once. Christmas is probably the only day of the year that you can see Skout and this walkway this empty at 4:30 p.m.

Hillstomp @ The Rogue Theatre (November 4, 2022)

Almost exactly one year since their last performance in the Rogue Theatre, Hillstomp returned this past Friday evening. Fortunately, they brought some of their own lighting (as the stage lighting in the Rogue Theatre is really bad–I wish bands wouldn’t use the house red lights as they don’t look good or photograph well).

Speaking of poor lighting, the exterior of the Rogue Theatre used to be the highlight of a nighttime drive through Grants Pass. Now it looks pretty neglected.

Donut Den’ Homer Simpson (Medford, Oregon – March 2013)

I purchased a couple of lenses from a guy in a Medford parking lot back in early 2013. This is one of the test shots from one of those lenses.

Alas, the Donut Den went out of business, and this place is now a T-Mobile store. Hopefully, someone has this glorious Homer Simpson set up in their living room or something.

Between Hilt and Yreka in the most northern area of Northern California (less than 20 miles from the Oregon border and about 30 miles from Ashland) you can find this exit heading south on I-5.
