Eastern Oregon: A Photo Essay

On our return trip from Idaho, we took a day to do a photo shoot in Eastern Oregon for David's upcoming album entitled "Revelation." The Lord blessed us with a timely meeting of a sweet woman named Nola who gave us access to the church in Lonerock. We spent most of the day traveling gravel roads in the eastern Oregon desert. I thought it would be fun to share some of the photos that I like for their sheer simplistic, artistic beauty. To give credit where credit is due, David took these photos.
