I was hired to take photos and to promote on social media a weekend series of events for Google Photos app. People would get free (delicious!) tacos from a specially wrapped Koi Fusion food cart if they could find certain basic types of images on their phone galleries.
Nice person in Portland, Oregon, and beyond.
Just after sunset on 22 April 2016, I walked around a couple of the blocks in my Portland neighborhood taking a few photos of the many dazzling flowers along the sidewalk. I am preparing to move to a new area here, so it was a little bittersweet. So here is something of a goodbye to my 10 years (next month) in Portland's Richmond district.
Angeleno power-player Ellie Pritts and I wandered in April 2017 around a couple of blocks in North Portland's Mississippi District, where there are fun little shops, bars, and coffee shops. Plus, we got to see one of the most wonderfully named parks in town, DeNorval Unthank City Park, or as it's more commonly known: Unthank Park. What a name! And from what I hear, Dr. Unthank himself was pretty amazing too, breaking numerous racial barriers in 20th century Portland...
In July 2018 Elaine Schimek and I were invited to the opening of the new Canopy by Hilton hotel in Portland, Oregon…
Because I was shooting at the free tacos / #paywithaphoto event promoting the new Google Photos app, I figured I'd play around a bit with the app and share some thoughts about it.
