I was sent up to the Willamette Pass for my last assignment as a Register-Guard photographer. It was blizzard like conditions and took a ride in the groomer, which was a quite a treat. I've always wanted to do that.

There was certain sense of finality today as a turned in my camera equipment and emptied out the last of belongings. Tomorrow I'll have cake in the library with my comrades and call it day.

Next Thursday I'll start my first day at The Oregonian as a staff photographer. A new chapter!
