Reid Blackburn

Photography Appreciation

Reid Blackburn was a photojournalist with the The Columbian newspaper who was killed during the May 18, 1980 volcanic eruption of Mount St. Helens.

Blackburn was born on August 11, 1952. He attended McMinnville's Linfield College, and began working with the Vancouver newspaper in 1975. He was a mountaineer who was known to enjoy hiking Mount St. Helens.

Because of his knowledge of the mountain and his outdoor skills, Blackburn was assigned to cover the volcanic event for The Columbian, National Geographic, and the U.S. Geological Survey.

Stand By Me

Film Appreciation

When I was 10 years old, my dad took me to watch Stand By Me at the movies. The film featured a few actors I would later recognize over time such as Wil Wheaton, Corey Feldman, Jerry O'Connell, and River Phoenix.

Based on Stephen King's novella The Body, the film, which was directed by Rob Reiner, tells a story of four kids set to find the body of a missing boy.

Released on August 8, 1986, the film did great in the box office and received many accolades from the Hollywood Foreign Press and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
