Bend, Oregon Photos at the Bend Brewing Company!
As many of you know, I have what I think of a permanent exhibit hanging at the Bend Brewing Company in Downtown Bend, Oregon. Please visit their website here. Bend Brewing Company. For Several Years now, I’ve had my work hanging at the Bend Brewing Company, and about twice a year I hang some of my new work in the small hallway that connects between the front door and the main dining and pub area. Well, I currently have some of my work in the Bend Brewery Hallway! My home is in the downtown area of Bend, Oregon and The Bend Brewing Company is the first restaurant/brewery I come to when I go on my frequent walks in the downtown area. that’s only part of why I enjoy having my fine art photographs exhibited at the Bend Brrewery. The below image of Tumalo Falls in summer, is only a few miles from the heart of downtown Bend, Oregon!
The above Tumalo Falls image is currently on display at the BBC, as are the following images from the Bend, Oregon area.
Because of the proximity of the Bend Brewing Company to my home in downtown Bend, It became one of my favorite resting grounds while talking my daughter for walks as a newborn. As she grew, the staff at the BBC became very engaging with Emma, making it her and my favorite father/daughter walking destination. As a matter of fact, when She was in kindergarten, she had to do a diorama of her favorite family activity and she chose”going to the Pub”! Luckily, her kindergarten teacher was also a fan of the Bend Brewery!
Another new photo on display is the following image from Newberry Crater which is also located near Bend, Oregon.
This photo of Newberry Crater, and Paulina Peak is new from the last shooting year and it is one that I am still very excited about. The warm sunrise light, the snow covered Central Oregon Cascades, the rocky spires of Paulina peak, and the misty Paulina Lake make for a stunning combination.
Below is another one of my favorite photographs that is currently hanging in the Bend Brewery, is the following image of Sparks Lake Sunrise, is also located near Bend, Oregon.
I have several other photos in my temporary exhibit at the Bend Brewing Company, so if you happen to be in downtown Bend, Oregon area, before March 1st, 2012, please stop by and enjoy some of my favorite images from the Central Oregon area!
Thanks For Visiting,

For those of you who live in Northwest Crossing, you are probably already with the great food, great coffee, and personable staff at Sage Cafe.
