Peg Caliendo’s photos have added color and interest to many issues of the High Prairian. She has a long-time interest in photographing the world around her, and among her beautiful photos are several in which she’s shared stunning views from her home on Stacker Butte Road.

Over the last year Peg has enjoyed honing her skills by participating in blipfoto (blipfoto.com), an online daily photo journal and social networking service. A blipfoto user posts just one picture a day, writes something to accompany it, then shares it. Peg says she has found great value in reading others’ comments and feedback, both on her own and others’ photographs. 

Peg’s professional life working for Columbia Gorge Community College keeps her very busy. Photography is one of the way she finds a balance to all the work.
