In Their Footsteps Lecture Series: Photographing Oregon’s Public Coast, Celebrating 50 Years of Access with photographer Rick Schafer. For over 30 years, Schafer’s stunning landscape photography of the Pacific Northwest has illustrated billboards, advertising, calendars, and many books including Magnificent Places: Oregon Coast. His current project is scheduled to be released in July for the 50th anniversary of the Oregon Beach Bill and titled The Oregon Coast, A Legacy Like No Other with text by Jack and Jan McGowan. His presentation will include photographs of the Oregon Coast, which has the lowest angles of evening sunlight and the last light of every day. He will also share some of the story of how Oregon’s beaches became public.
