On an unexpectedly clear June evening, about 20 of us, me and friends I met on Instagram, did a photowalk — aka Instameet — around downtown and Old Town Portland. And we were lucky enough to have it end with a spectacular sunset.
Nice person in Portland, Oregon, and beyond.
Just before Halloween 2016, the Portland Instagram group had a fun little instameet at Fir Point Farms in Aurora, Oregon. Pumpkins were everywhere of course, but so were goats and bunnies and horses and donkeys... plus games like Cornhole and badminton. We feasted on ice cream, donuts, freshly pressed cider. Probably the most fun though was the corn maze -- so beautiful...
The Portland Instagram Group held a fun instameet at the Lan Su Chinese Garden , a great little oasis of calm in the hustle-bustle of Old Town Portland. It had been foggy and drizzly all morning, but when we gathered the sun came out and it was lovely. Here are some unedited snapshots...
A few months ago I took my beloved Canon AE-1 and some expired film around downtown Portland, Oregon.
In northeast Portland, there is a nice viewpoint at Rocky Butte Natural Area. The park covers the remains of an extinct volcano and gives you — on clear days — a nice view of several more volcanoes, both extinct (e.g., Mount Tabor, Pilot Butte, etc.) and active (e.g., Mount Hood and Mount St. Helens).
Summer has begun in 2024 here in Portland. So I took the day off work and headed downtown with my Leica T (L-mount) rangefinder to grab some snapshots…
