Week Two

 



October 8-  A small vending stand on the corner between Santiam Highway SE and OR-226. I didn't stop to pull in but the energy from the stand was very positive. The decorations accompany nicely to the autumn feel of the environment. 


October 9- A barista finishing a drink within a Safeway Starbucks. This was nearing the end of their work day. The customers traffic was slowing down. This is Quincey Chadwick, a senior at South Albany High School. She is enjoying working at Starbucks, she can express her enjoyment for art within the drinks she gives people.

October 8- This is Grandpas Fresh Market, a farm stand that changes with the seasons. It's currently autumn, therefor they have a great stock of pumpkins, apples, tomato's, and an assortment of different peppers. Not even to mention their honeys and preserves. 


Each of these three photographs were taken in Albany, Oregon.

People used to rent the rooms of the building; now it holds memories of people who chose to get away and spend time in the little town of Lorane. The ch
