Only upon special request might I photograph this fantastic enlarged art print of the Heceta (correct spelling) Head Light just North of Florence, Oregon along the 101. I am a bit embarrassed to admit that I needed to trip 4 inches off of each side and 1 inch each from the top and bottom to fit this into my frame for it. My frame is a little bit more classical and has a matching color scheme with the rocks in the forefront. Unlike most other photographs I have seen of the Heceta Light, the added mist or haze of the morning when Todd took this photo invites a mystery of where the sea line ends to the horizon. Like Todd, I live in Montana but much more in a mountainous area with forests and this photo includes that as well. The best part of this is that in the enlargement, the fine detail of the entire image remains intact. Needless to say, knowing that most of Todd's photography is centered on agrarian work, life and scenery, I was pleasantly surprised to look deeper into his gallery to find images like this of his travels beyond his normal Wisconsin and Montana. So, to address maybe a hidden question or two, yes we have the same last name, yes both live in Montana, but no, we have never met. Our family line does originate through a settlement in Wisconsin, which I have yet to visit, and on back to a common township in Switzerland. His 11th great-grandfather is also my 12th great-grandfather. Being an atypical family member among the relatives I know and with that being very introverted for numerous reasons, I hope maybe soon to slightly detour on any future trip East to stop by and meet him. Before that, I hope to come across to anyone reading this as an unbiased supporter of Todd Klassy's photography with future intentions to acquire others of his work.
