has sprung, or so it would seem =] Upon arriving at the local bakery, I noticed these beautiful berries all bunched together. Not because of their incredible vibrant hue, as one might think ( I mean, they are pretty BAM!) But no, it was their scent. I smelt something sweet along the busy road. I followed my nose to these little beauties, paused, noticed the clouds were retreating, felt the cool air…then got super excited and started digging in my bag for my cam ;]
Since I saw these this morning, I took extra note to my surroundings for the rest of the day. Vines and ivy are beginning to resume their twisted growth upon the towering trees at Takena Landing. I noticed shops and homes are planting these gorgeous lime green and purple leafy bushes in their yards. And even in my own backyard, I spotted several the tulips beginning to sprout. It’s only a matter of time!

Soooo I found out about a week ago that some of my work will be in an upcoming show at a gallery in Portland, and I wanted to share those pieces with you! Chances are, if you’ve been following me around, you’ve probably seen them.
The Flash Player and a browser with Javascript support are needed..
The first two are from my body painting and will be huge, 20×30″ each. The following 4 are from my river series and will be 10×15″ each.
Anyone is welcome to come to the reception and see these pieces and more *hint* The reception is Friday January 6th, 7–9PM and will be on display through the end of the month. The gallery is called the Splendorporium, part of the NPO Art4Life Children’s Gallery. One reason I love them so much.
Anyway, you can check out their website for more info or just ask me ;] Holla!
Fall is my favorite season here in Oregon. I think I’m still getting used to the leaves and all the colors I see every day just driving around town. In Texas, there is no autumn. It’s still summer over there now and when winter comes around, the leaves just die and fall off their trees!
I am in love with Oregon.
And even though I know the rainy season approaches, just the few weeks from October-November make it all worth it to me. It had been raining and freezing all week but today was just one of those days you just want to grab a jacket and lay in the grass. The sun hung low in the early afternoon creating this beautiful orange glow, which hit the last of the same colored leaves and just radiated. The air was so fresh and crisp…cold enough to make you want to wrap yourself in something warm and fuzzy but not too much that you couldn’t feel the tip of your nose =] A day to treat yourself to a Pumpkin Latte from Dutch Bros and go for a walk just because.
A good day. A beautiful fall day. And for that, and all of you, I am very thankful.
Well, I’m pretty sad right now. Sarah Page Photography is to be considered on hiatus. Which really is just a nice way of saying, I’m closed. My camera fried last night. I’m not 100% sure what happened, but it fried and it fried my best lens as well. I believe it has to do with the new connector I bought for my flash. I will be doing my research and seeing if this has happened to anyone else and if they will reimburse me for my loss. (My photographer friends, if you have any ideas I would love your opinion!)
Because this isn’t just about my camera. I have spent countless hours building this site and working towards creating something I loved. I was just getting to a point where I was starting to really be proud of the work I was putting out. One of the greatest reasons I love photography…there’s always something more to learn, there’s nothing you can truly “master”. You look around the world around you and every time it looks different. I can’t even begin to describe how sad I am, as though an extension of myself has just died.
So! As I said, I am done. At least for now, and more than likely for a very long time. But this won’t be the last you’ll see of me…I will continue painting and creating and taking pictures with my dingy toy film fisheye and share with you my inspirations and aspirations. I worked too hard and put too much heart into this endeavor to just stop…so even without my camera, let’s keep on keepin’ on. I will still be posting regularly on here and on FB and your continued support is cherished. Thank you all so much for making this last year worth it.
The advantage of the emotions is that they lead us astray. —Oscar Wilde
Always such a fruitful journey when you truly hold nothing back. I have lots of photo sessions lined up, paintings to be finished, words to be written, kisses to be given. I’m looking forward to this month, as I have no idea where it will take me.
New work coming very soon!
