Sightings (2016)

O scale (1:48)

From top: Klamath River, California - 1969; Oroville, California - 1969; Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, Oregon - 1960

Shot while traveling through the Sierras, this was one of the rare times I’ve shot outside. The challenge was attempting to visually scale the scenery down. The backgrounds all needed to be kept vague as did the figure, but I needed to focus on something. Twigs and leaves don’t scale, but the texture of rocks can sometimes scale pretty well, so I set the figure with rocks in the foreground. Framing the shots was interesting in that I kept centering the figure, but when I got home and started processing them something felt off. It wasn’t until I cropped them off-center that they started feeling more realistic and gave them a better sense of movement.

Each of the shots is titled after a well-known location or sighting.

Osoyoos Lake, WA (No. 4)

Oroville was first settled by European settlers in the late 1850s and known as 'rag town.' The settlement was named Oro, after the Spanish word for gold, in 1892 after the surrounding gold mines and in an attempt to attract prospectors and merchants. The Post Office objected to the name "Oro" because a town was already named "Oso" in Washington, so the name was changed to Oroville, in 1909. Oroville was a stop along the Spokane Falls and Northern Railway line from British Columbia to Spokane, via Molson and Chesaw. In 1914 a third branch south to Wenatchee was constructed to avoid the steep inclines on the original Spokane track.

Passenger train service to Oroville was operated by the Great Northern Railway until July 14, 1953, with freight operations continuing later.

Oroville started to become a tourist location in the mid-2000s, large condo developments were proposed. After peaking in 2005–07, the city’s economy has suffered since the Great Recession of 2008. Oroville is home to the Dorothy Scott Airport, an international municipal airport with U.S. Customs check, located two miles outside of the town center. The airport opened in August 1937.
