In 1910, Woodfield was introduced to photography by a man named Elmer Alan Coe Both he and Coe would travel the coastline, capturing the most iconic of Oregon images. Woodfield and Coe took many photos of early Cannon Beach, Astoria and Arch Cape.

Woodfield retired to Tolovana Park in 1944, and died at his home in 1955.

The collection consists of fourteen images, thirteen post cards predominately documenting the Astoria fire of Dec. 8, 1922, and one sepia toned image of Haystack Rock at Cannon beach at sunset.
