Trying not to do that thing where I don't post stuff just cause I don't know what to caption it, so here's some random photos I like that I hadn't posted yet!

Got to meet the wonderful Maine C**n and his owners at Cars and Coffee last weekend. The owners were even kind enough to pick him up for me to get a picture but sadly I wasn't standing far back enough to get his full body in the picture like we were trying to do. Still a cute family pic though so I still included it!

Went to on Sunday for the first time in a few years and had a great time! I think I actually took just as many photos of not cars as I did of the cars 😂 I'll admit that a lot of the photos I took didnt turn out quite how I hoped, but its all part of the learning process. Here's some of the ones I liked! Please tag the owners of the cars or any of the pet accounts if you know them!

Rollers with randoms! Well, one random. While .smyth and I were on our little road trip, this guy caught up to us and since one of my main focuses was getting as much practice with photography as possible, I stuck the camera out the window and took some rollers! Some are definitely better than others, and they all need work, but I figured I'd post them anyways. After all, one of the reasons I'm posting my photography is to document my journey as my photos improve and change over time. So, that means posting photos even if I feel that they're not very good đŸ€·â€â™‚ïž Shoutout to this guy for letting me take some photos!

Some vertical shots for you this Thursday! The first shot was a dream shot for me and it couldn't have worked out better. Even before getting back into photography I had always wanted to get a picture of a train crossing in front of Multnomah Falls, and this day I was prepared to wait as long as needed to get the shot. Well, on the way there we passed this train headed the same direction as us and with only 2 possible sidings for it to pull into and stop in along the way, I knew we were looking good. Sure enough, it didn't stop in either of the sidings and within 10 minutes we heard a horn in the distance and the lights appeared through the trees. The shot isn't quite what I envisioned if I'm being honest, but I'd still consider it a dream shot achieved!

Despite being a truck driver, I don't often take time to actually stop and look at the trucks around me. Maybe it's something I'll have to do more often though because I had a great time photographing these ones at Biggs Junction! It gave me some good practice shooting moving objects while I wasn't moving, which I'm hoping will be helpful when I attempt to take pictures of cars at our local racetrack.

Deciding to give photography another try, and although I already had an account on Instagram to build off of, I didn't have one on Facebook. So since some of you may not know who I am, let's get caught up on things the people following on Instagram will already know!

My name is Drew, and I live in the Pacific Northwest. I used to do a lot of car photography about 10 years ago when I was a teenager, but then stopped when I went to college and then just never got back to it until now! Although cars are still one of my main interests, and something I will photograph a lot of, I will also be photographing other things! Along with cars, things you'll see most often will be trains and nature, but end all be all, I will photograph anything I feel is worthy. Now its worth noting, when it comes to my hobbies, sometimes I bounce around a bit, so while this is an interest for me now, I have no idea how long that will last. I may make a few posts and then never post again, or I may post daily for years and years to come 😂 Realistically, it'll probably end up somewhere in the middle, but either way, if you like the photos you see here, please give this page a follow and let's see how long this lasts together!

A westbound BNSF train passes the Confluence Café and crosses over the mouth of the Klickitat River.

This photo actually has a fun story behind it as well! .smyth and I had planned to drive a loop, east along 84 on the Oregon side to Biggs Junction, cross the bridge, and then head back west on 14 on the Washington side, stopping at scenic spots along the way. One of the places I had wanted to stop was the Confluence Café, known mainly for its good food, coffee, and beautiful views, but known to me because it's supposed to be a good railfan spot. I found out about it probably a little over 6 months ago, but being that its about a 2 hour round trip from my house, I hadn't found the time to go yet. At the time I took this photo, I didnt actually realize that that was the Café off to the right side of the photo despite planning to go there later in the day. As we continued our loop, leaving Biggs Junction I went to set my GPS for the Café only for Google to tell me that they had closed already because it was past 3pm. I looked at the parking lot on Google Maps and decided it would still be worth stopping because the parking lot seemed like it would still have a good view of the tracks. I'll admit, after setting the GPS, I didn't look at it much cause I was just focused on enjoying the drive and the scenery. While glancing to my left at said scenery, I realized that you could see the fence for the viewpoint we were at a few hours earlier. While I was blabbering about how cool that was, Konnor was trying to tell me that we were about to pass the parking lot we had planned to stop at. It was at that moment, passing it at 40mph (or whatever the speed limit was), that I realized the picture I had taken, the one you see here, was of the Confluence Café. As bummed as I was to not stop at it, I didn't feel it was worth turning around for, especially being that it was closed anyways. Now that I know the hours, I'll definitely plan to come back, so keep an eye out for those photos at some point in the future!
