Water levels in the Columbia and Willamette Rivers at Kelly Point rise and fall based on precipitation/runoff, ocean tides and I suppose management of upstream dams. The fluctuating water levels as well as wakes from passing vessels frequently wash the roots and bases of trunks of trees. The beach is made primarily of sand and clay, as the soil is washed away the roots are exposed in many fantastic ways as the trees adapt and cling to terra firma.

This mini series includes four images made with three different instant films/cameras.
The first is a scan of print on Fuji FP3000B shot with Polaroid 225 Automatic Land Camera.

Epson Scan. I really like the tones of this film. The focus could be tighter, but it's Polaroid, eh.
