  • gabryshak replied

    i’m a lighthouse lover too… and i’m thrilled to hear that
    i can say this, i am not afraid of getting down and dirty for that
    perfect shot and i am full of adventure… the trek there got me covered in mud as you can well imagine~ washed out from all the rain, but this is the reward…

    Hey good luck with the Nikon contest. Great image, why do you call it a “disappointment”? Or is that the real name of the place?

  • gabryshak replied

    richard

    i’ll let you know about the contest i’m anxious to know how everyone placed and can’t WAIT to see it in print…

    as for the name, it truly is called cape disappointment~ it was named by captain meares (yes there is another lighthouse in his namesake) after he explored the area and was unable to find the opening to the columbia river… it is by far a disappointment, in fact, well worth the 1.5 mile trek in this gorgeous bluff where two lighthouses stand within like a mile, there are 26 some miles of beach, and touted the second windiest place in north america i hear.

    no, far from a disappointment… in fact, the funny thing is, cape meares seems to me as the disappointment, you get there and all you find is a short little stub of a lighthouse, just big enough to house the lens… i am giggling, cause it seems funny to me, but truly, it is not a disappointment either, i find beauty in most everything.

    hey tommy! yaeh it was one heck of a wet day! the trail was flooded out in many spots, and if you’ve been there, you know it was a challenge… somehow i find myself attracted to such adventures and found the rewards of getting to the top - well, priceless!

    Okay, now look… your portfolio is simply not fair to the rest of us. You have to cut out about fifty percent of these images since they are simply overwhelmingly discouraging to people who cannot create a bazillion powerfully emotional excursions onto imaginary story arcs. People like… like… well… me. Grumble….

    :-)

  • gabryshak replied

    okay, have i forgotten something? i was suppose to take you to lunch? i’ve simply been too busy and not stopped by to give you proper love, so now, you shower me… shucks you’re sweet… but stop the grumbling cause it simply isn’t true!! you are inspiration bursting at the seams… one just spends a moment with you and life is better, brighter, filled with more mystery and wonder…
    you humble me,
    and thrill me!
    with your eloquence
    your insight
    and vibrant emotion.
    thanks for all the love

    Sheesh!!! I’ve never scrolled so far in my life to leave a comment. LOL. First, congratulations. Second, I love this. It’s thrilling. There is just something special about a lighthouse, abandoned or otherwise. They are national treasures.

  • gabryshak replied 17 days ago

    oooooooooh i so agree they are special, abandoned or otherwise… thanks for the love miss moore!
