Expecting the Unexpected
Dear ##firstname[Friend]##,
Photographer Alan St. John has a knack for the unexpected. This self-proclaimed Oregon desert rat wrote about and photographed the state's arid wonders for "God's Country" in the Aug/Sept issue. We didn't even know Oregon had a desert. Well, we asked him to tell us about his favorite photo, and once again he came up with the unexpected. Read all about Alan's favorite photo.


—Robin Hoffman, Editor
