The Dalles: A Journey Back Home” is a stunning visual memoir capturing the essence of my hometown in the Pacific Northwest. Nestled in the Columbia River Gorge, The Dalles, Oregon, offers breathtaking views of rugged landscapes, the majestic Mount Hood, and the winding Columbia River. This photo book features images taken between 2009 and 2024, showcasing the beauty and charm of a town I cherished growing up in during the 1970s, 80s, and 90s. In addition to the landscapes, you’ll find beloved local favorites—restaurants and eateries that may no longer exist, yet their memories stand the test of time through these photographs. My intention is to invite you into my world, allowing both newcomers and former residents to experience the warmth and nostalgia of The Dalles. With each page, you’ll feel as if you’ve returned home.
