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.

On the Road
The spirit of Jack Kerouac is alive and well with a number of young people today. Ashland is a popular destination/stop for many of those imbued with the desire to wander and explore. The laid-back ambience of the town, the setting amidst trees and mountains and the ease in meeting and hanging out with like-minded peers are all attractions. Spencer, a young man from Washington state, was passing through town on a car-camping trip with two companions.
