I have come across an interesting series of photographs recently that document the filming of a silent movie that took place on Mount Hood.

I love Mount Hood, history and photography, and when I can bring all three together in one place I’m happy. Loyal readers of my column may remember the article that I wrote about Jennie Welch and her photography and its importance to the history of Welches and the Mount Hood area. (August 2018 M.T.) Before Jennie Welch took her first photo another Mount Hood icon was bringing cutting edge photography technology that would eventually allow consumers, such as Jennie, an easier method to create their own photos to the Pacific Northwest.

Jennie Welch Mt Hood Photographer
Although not recognized as such, Jennie Welch should be included in the list of early 20th century female photographers. Her photos capture the history and beauty of the Welches. Without her photos many early scenes would be lost with the passing of time.
