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.

Guitar Guy
Chris can be seen regularly at public spaces around town, playing his guitar and singing. This morning he was in front of the Peerless Restaurant, performing a spirited rendition of The Beatles', "Dear Prudence." A carpenter/painter from Northern California, he's lived in Ashland for 5 or 6 years. Unlike others busking for donations, Chris says his motivation is to share and entertain.
