The two Steves have been meeting for backgammon on an average of twice a week for nearly 20 years. Generally these matches take place at one of the numerous local coffee houses, in this case Rogue Valley Roasting Company on East Main, with Radar the dog looking on.
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.
