Yesterday, the traditional New Year's Day Polar Plunge took place at Reeder Reservoir at the top of Lithia Park. Approximately 40 people braved the cold morning temperatures (in the 20's) and waded into the icy water. A thin sheet of ice lining the shoreline had to be broken apart before they could walk in.
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.
