Keith Wallach.

I only recently became acquainted and got know Keith. In fact, I met Keith through www.wayfarecollective.org outing early this winter. Wayfare.collective has incredible diversity of world class talent and I'm honored to have the opportunity to meet, collaborate and go on the occasional outing with this group.

Keith is a creative professional and works with clients such as www.stashtea.com among other, be sure to check out www.wallach.design/. It was so cool to get the opportunity to get out and shoot with a creative talent such as Keith.

We made arrangements to head out to a place called White River Falls a few hours east of Portland, just catching a pause between snowstorms in the PNW. We had good expectations to catch the falls in a really unique setting and we were both pretty stoked for the adventure! But, as often is the case, things rapidly changed on our journey eastward and once we arrived at location quickly saw we had better make use of a new location. Most times traveling east you can bet on some clearer skies, we definitely got that. But unusually those clear skies came with a significant warm up as well. So our hopes of icicles and knee deep snow became melt off and mud. oh well! We decided to hit some backroads and got in some really fun creative shooting in the wide open back country.

As we began our return back to Portland we decided to drop in on Rowena Crest, an icon along Gorge. Keith made som quick work of the classics and grabbed this awesome sudo abstract of cake style layers! 

One of the most distinguishing features about Keith besides his high energy and enthusiasm, is his World Class Beard. Seriously must have some ZZ Top heritage in there somewhere! Be sure to check out Keith's work on Instagram and give him a worthy follow @keithw3.
