Here’s a partial list of Oregon-related Wikipedia articles that need photos. Surely, you’ve got a photo of Jantzen Beach in your back pocket, don’t you? Low Pass, anyone?
You can license them under a Creative Commons license (CC-BY or CC-BY-SA) on Flickr or upload them to Wikipedia directly. Be careful, though. Adding photos to the best Oregon Encyclopedia around is a gateway drug that leads to more addictive pursuits, like writing about your favorite Oregon band, and eventually to digging through regional planning documents looking for buried creeks.

Yeah, it is a gateway drug 🙂 I might do Jantzen Beach next time I’m over there..

It’s too late for Jantzen Beach; it was torn down in the 1970s. Oh, maybe you don’t mean the amusement park, but the current mall and condominium situation?

Hey, that needs a photo, too.

Be careful though, you might get hooked like me and start investing way too much money in camera gear.

If I buy a really, really expensive camera, can I take photographs of things as they once existed? (Information transfer through time?.)
Never mind. I just need an old camera for that….
