Then, out of nowhere, a rogue wave came crashing on the rocky ledge. Bracing myself with just a camera tripod, the sea showed me who’s boss. After being hit knee deep with a wall of water I struggled to hold my ground and my gear. I hear salt water isn’t the greatest for camera

Nestled in the northeast corner of Oregon, the Wallowas didn’t fall short of my expectations. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a glassy lake with stunning cloud reflections.
