Ashland, Oregon is a town of 21,000 that has a lot in common with other small towns across America. It also has qualities that make it truly unique. Home of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and Southern Oregon University, people from various backgrounds and places have chosen to call Ashland home. As a photographer, I thought it would be a worthwhile project to document the varied aspects of Life in Ashland.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration
The Historic Old Armory Building was filled with people commemorating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on this national holiday set aside in his honor. It was a program that managed to be reverent, inspiring, and festive in conveying Dr. King's message and legacy. A crowd gathered later at the Plaza downtown to listen to a recording of his "I Have a Dream" speech.
