Return to Disappointment
We recently added a new gallery: Return to Disappointment. This new gallery contains images that make a longer-form project. The project captures moments as storms batter the headland, Cape Disappointment, at the mouth of the Columbia River. The storm came to Cape Disappointment, bringing tumult, turmoil and chaos. We think it turned into a wonderful project. We look at the images and feel the sting of the rain, and the taste of salt. Most of these images were originally captured in early November of 2025 and we think the gallery lives up to the line: “when the gales of November come slashin”.
Even though the project is longer than most, we have some images that didn’t fit this story of storms so well and so were excluded from the project. But we think they are worth sharing. So here are a few more images from Cape Disappointment.
If you haven’t seen enough of our photography of Cape Disappointment, scroll down in this journal to the entry for April 18, 2022 entitled “Cape without Disappointment”. That entry contains some of the history of the Cape and some more pictures we love, from the mouth of the Columbia River at Cape Disappointment.
