Elleda's Interests

Ninjaz 4 Hire | | Movies | The Godfather, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, All About Eve, Gone with the Wind, A History of Violence, The Abyss. | | Television | CSI (all three), Law & Order (all of them), Bones, House, NCIS. | | Books | Will read damn near anything, including cereal box labels if there's nothing else around. | | Heroes | Anyone who helps/protects animals. |

About me:
I am a writer and photographer. I have my own photography business, Astoria Photografpix, I work at the local newspaper, The Daily Astorian, as an editorial assistant and editor/writer of the weekly In One Ear Column, blog when I have the time (Elleda's Blog), and write children's stories in my so-called "spare time."
I was born in a small oystering/lobstering village on Long Island Sound in Connecticut, and being able to be near the sea has pretty much driven my life.
After 22 long years in Los Angeles, I now live in the Pacific Northwest in another fishing town, Astoria, Oregon. It's as far north and west as you can go in Oregon without falling into the ocean.
Being near the mouth of the Columbia River (4.1 miles wide at this point) we can see the Pacific Ocean and the ships coming in from the kitchen windows. It still amazes me every time I walk into the kitchen and see the incredible view overlooking the town, river and sea through the wall of windows.
There are two lighthouses nearby, across the river on the Long Beach Peninsula in Washington, Cape Disappointment and North Head. I never get tired of visiting them. And then there's the mysterious Tillamook Head, aka "Terrible Tily" that is essentially inaccessible.

Who I'd like to meet:
Lots more people in my booth at the Astoria Sunday Market . It's always interesting to talk to people from all over the country as they browse through the local street markets.
