I live & play in the Pacific Northwest, specifically the Portland, OR area. One of my favorite hangouts is Astoria, OR with it's connection to the ocean. I've captured a particular fishnet factory along Hwy 30 that is 106 years old. On Dec 5th, 2007, a horrific storm packing 129 mph winds ripped through this area and did a great deal of damage. My beloved factory was not spared. When I recently returned to film the damage I bumped into the actual building owners who told me there would be no further restoration on the damaged building. At least I have my favorite photos before this storm ripped apart a local landmark.
