Oregon Through Time - OTT

Hey there! I’m Brian, an amateur historian and photographer with a passion for preserving the past and capturing the present. Whether I’m digging into local history, documenting forgotten landmarks, or framing the perfect shot, I believe every story—whether told through words or images—deser...

When I first started, I called it Brian's Oregon Historical & More, but that just didn’t sound right to me. With all the photography I do of historic buildings and landmarks, I thought Brian’s Oregon Historical & Photography might be a better fit—but that name was way too long.

So, I put some serious thought into it, doing extensive searches for LLCs, copyright conflicts, and any potential name registrations. After about a week of searching, I finally landed on Oregon Through Time (OTT)—a name that wasn’t taken (at least to the best of my ability to check). Right now, Oregon Through Time is just tied to my Facebook History Group and Photography Page, but I do plan to register it as an LLC in the future so it’s officially mine. The OTT part is simply a shorthand that makes it easier to reference.

Now, you might be wondering—what inspired the name Oregon Through Time? Well, I wanted something that captured the essence of what I do: photographing historic buildings and landmarks, preserving the past through images. The name reflects the idea of seeing Oregon through different periods of time. Plus, it still fits perfectly for when I branch out into nature photography.

Next on the list? Finding the perfect catchphrase!

What do you think of the name? Have any ideas for a great catchphrase?

Good Afternoon @@
I have been dealing with Facebook for almost two months and they aren't allowing me to change this page's name to "Oregon Through Time - OTT, so I started a new page please go like and follow it, so I can delete this one sooner rather then later.

Best,
Brian Engstrom

Our Peace Committee's work has no boarders. This photo was taken by our very own Kathi Futornick at the Peace Pole Dedication in Istanbul Turkey. And this is Rotary International President Stephanie Urchick leading the dedication! Rotary International creating opportunities to promote peace and bring our world together. We are people of action...together!

Thank you Kathi for being there! We miss you but we are so proud!
