Oregon Stock Photos and some great new shots of the Wallowa Mountains

As some of you may know, I am the founder and operator of a small, High end stock photography company based in Bend, Oregon Called Pacific Crest Stock Photography.  We specialize in excellent quality landscape images of Oregon with an emphasis on Central Oregon.  There is a prominent trend in the stock photography world where stock photography businesses are being consolidated into larger collections of lower quality images.  Our business plan dictates that we do just the opposite of that.  We intend to stay small, represent very few photographers and only offer exceptional quality images for licensing.  We love the area we live and adventure in and we only want it represented in the best light possible.  We hope that by offering only high quality images that we will save valuable time for photo editors and photo buyers in their selection process.

As part of our Pacific Crest Stock business, we have also been maintaining a blog which documents our photo adventures where you can find great Central Oregon Photos. Pacific Crest Stock Blog.

My friend and business partner, Troy McMullin recently documented a phenomenal backpacking trip that he and I and our other friends, Jake and Old Mike took to the Wallowa Mountains and the Eagle Cap Wilderness Area in Northeast Oregon.  To read the story and see some great photos, please visit the following link, Wallowa Mountains Photos.  I’ll continue to make fine art updates at this Mike Putnam Photography site, but most of my trip accounts will be documented at our Pacific Crest Stock Blog so if you’d like to keep up with the adventures of Troy and myself, please visit our Pacific Crest Blog and book mark it!
