So, I decided to meet up with Matias and Rebecca up in Bingen, Washington for a working week since my plans for Mammoth fell through. I stayed at Matias' friend's, Russ, place just looking over the town, the Columbus river, and into Oregon. The photos are shoot with my trusty 1D Mark III and my new Olympus Stylus 1050 SW. Here are some photos...
