The beautiful Siuslaw River that you see here flows right next to our Old Town in Florence, then curves around passing our home, just before dumping its waters into the pacific ocean. Because of the tides, the rivers elevation changes daily. It is also one of the best salmon fishing rivers on the central Oregon coast.

About the Photographer
I'm a photographer that at one time, changed my hobby of photography into shooting professionally for many years. I had two different business names during those years of shooting professionally, one called "Western States Photography" and the other as "David Michael Portraits". The first business was mainly shooting landscapes. Soon I found myself shooting weddings and personal portraits so changed my business name to better suit what I was doing. Now I'm retired and wanting to travel and shoot photos that just strike my fancy. This site will showcase some of my favorite photos along with stories about them. I hope you enjoy.
I just love that picture!! If you keep posting beautiful pictures of your neck of the woods, maybe some of the cyber-brides will want to go there for a destination wedding. I sure would love to if I were getting married.
Sounds like you’ve done all the legwork, so good luck in reaping lots and lots of fruit for your labors 🙂
Dave, I am THRILLED that there has been a silver lining to all you have been through with your health issues. AND… I am thrilled that you will now have more time to get your camera out and bless us with the beauty of the Pacific Northwest on a regular basis! I just subscribed to your blog, so you know I will be on you like white on rice if ever (not that you ever would) become negligent in sharing all things Oregon “through the lens” of David Michael Collins! Congratulations! I’m still finding my around your new site, but so far… I liiiiiiiiiiiiiiike it!!!!
Excellent Blog!
Looking forward to seeing more of your work. It has been a pleasure knowing you and lets not hesitate to go out together and do some shooting.
