Mountains are calling & I must go! Let’s wander where the Wi-Fi is weak & the trails are steep.
Adventure awaits!
Jason Roberts is a photographer who threw himself back into the art like a man escaping a burning building. No plan, no roadmap, just a camera and a hunger for something real. Oregon is his stomping ground: mountains that bleed into the sky, rivers that rage like drunk gods, and ghost towns crumbling under the weight of time. That’s where his lens points, not at the polished, the staged, or the safe, but at the raw nerve of the world.
Roberts walked away from photography once, swallowed by the static of daily life, but he came back swinging. The camera became his weapon and salvation, a way to wrestle order from chaos and bring back proof that the wild is still out there kicking. Every shot is a field report: lightning storms stitched over the Three Sisters, deer skulls strung up in hunting camps, forests whispering secrets in the dark.
Through Nerdy Viking Photography, Roberts keeps driving down back roads, chasing storms, and crawling into the forgotten corners of the Pacific Northwest. His work is part survival note, part love letter, part battle cry. A reminder that beauty isn’t gentle, it’s feral, and you have to step off the map to find it.

Times Are Changing
It’s funny to see the evolution of this site and myself. I started this site/blog well over 10 years ago. The original idea was to share things that worked for me or didn’t work as a single parent. As well as a escape for my mental health, plus a few nerdy things here and there.… Read more

Trail of the Ten Falls
This still has to be one of my favorite photos that I have taken. This was at Silver Falls State Park, part of the Trail of the Ten Falls. I would love to go back there this winter, to see the difference. Try to create a before and after picture. Read more
