YOUR GORGE

from The Gorge Magazine - Summer 2022

LOCAVORE

Photographer Jeremiah Pierucci was on a late-summer visit to Oregon with his wife when he took off on his own to do some photography in the Gorge. “I headed to Rowena Crest,” he said. “My plan was to photograph long exposures of cars coming up the curves.” But by the time he got there, a thunderstorm had rolled in. He snapped a few photos in the torrential rain before jumping back in his car and hightailing it out of there. “Eventually it got so bad I didn’t even feel safe,” he said. He drove down the Gorge to Vista House where, with the storm still raging, he captured more stunning images of lightning flashing across the darkening sky above the Gorge.

The Photographer

JEREMIAH PIERUCCI grew up in western Washington and now lives in Centralia. He started taking photos as a kid with his dad’s Nikon film camera, but the expense of developing the film held him back. When digital cameras came around, he got one as soon as he could and has been pursuing his passion ever since. He originally focused almost exclusively on landscape photography but has lately expanded his repertoire to include wildlife and aerial photography. An avid hiker, he captures many of his images while on hiking adventures. “I love the artistry of photography,” he said. “And it’s just fun to be out and about.” jeremiahpierucci.com
