Rambling around town from my front door on a very cold January day … yet, the skies were mostly clear and sunshine promising. Whether by accident or with full intent, Eugene Parks are pretty easy to link together – and using UO campus as the connector works well. Leaving early before sunrise made it VERY…
Every year, Kirby chooses the best photos from that year and publishes as a set. Some get printed, some just stay digital. Most were published in blog posts as they occurred, and some get retouched before publishing here. For reference, the 2024 library contains 5,700+photos, so these 16 photos are special – at least to…
