Book Overview

""Oregon, My Oregon,"" published in cooperation with the Oregon Historical Society, portrays stunning black-and-white images of Oregon, seen through the lens of famed photographer Ray Atkeson. Beginning in 1928 and continuing through the 1960s, until color photography became the preferred standard, Ray Atkeson spent every possible moment photographing Oregon in black and white. Photo compiler and historian Tom Robinson searched through more than 100,000 negatives to select and print these images. Because of his understanding of Ray's work, Robinson is the only person Ray authorized to make prints from his negatives. The extended captions, also written by Tom, explain the historical significance of the image, the reason Ray tripped the shutter, or circumstances surrounding the picture.

Vintage black and white photos of Oregon

If you appreciate vintage black and white photography. If you remember the Oregon of the 40's, 50's and 60's. If you're looking for nostalgia, then this photo essay is for you. The largest percentage of the book covers Portland and northern Oregon, but most of the state is highlighted somewhere in the book.
