Sparked


Yesterday I was admiring photographs of Oregon's Painted Hills (part of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument) taken by fellow Eugenean Zeph Van Allen, and posted here on 500px. He visited the Hills last week and returned home with several sunrise keepers.

Viewing others' work is one way of becoming inspired—in this instance, I was moved to scribble plans for a trip to central Oregon on my mental list, then dig through shots I'd taken in 2005 at the Hills (coincidentally another sunrise), which had never (it turned out) been given a decent vetting.

Sometimes, there's too much to see, let alone keep track of, and I'm glad I found this one. Thanks for the spark, Zeph.
