Back Entrance

2009-11-04T04:00:00.000-08:00

Back entrance to a mom-and-pop store near Foster and 92nd in Portland. I'm guessin' they don't use it much.

A not-as-gigantic-as-it-appears sphere -- a bit of playground equipment at Marysville School in southeast Portland.

Autumn Tribute

2009-10-28T04:00:00.000-07:00

This week, a friend found out he has stage four cancer. I guess this photo is my tribute to him. Like falling leaves, his life is changing into a winter season of difficulty. But there will be a Spring. Love you, Jason.

Through The Log

2009-10-27T04:00:00.000-07:00

Is it a monstrous cave opening or just a hole through a log.

Ball and Stripes

2009-10-26T04:00:00.000-07:00

There's a brand spankin' new playground at Marysville School in Portland. Bright colors abound.

(My son had to throw this ball up in front of the wall only about four times until we go the shot.)

Vented

2009-10-23T04:00:00.000-07:00

Just a dryer vent with texture, shadow, shape and mess.

Dusky Discs

2009-10-21T04:00:00.000-07:00

It's not often I spy farm equipment now that we live in the city. Found this disc while out on a scenic drive in the outskirts.

Weathered Stump

Viking Bell

2009-10-16T04:00:00.000-07:00

A warning bell outside a warehouse near 17th and McLoughlin. The sign next to it says, "If this bell rings, call 9-1-1." That would be an interesting conversation.

Razor Loop

2009-10-15T04:00:00.000-07:00

A loop of razor wire keeping the snoopers out of a warehouse lot.

I like to call this photo "Something My Mother Would Never Take A Picture Of".

Chain Proof

2009-10-14T04:00:00.000-07:00

Here's proof that I'm not that great of a photographer. What I'm good at it post-processing. =)

Original shot:

For My Grandkids

2009-10-13T04:00:00.000-07:00

I don't recycle for myself. I recycle for my grandkids.

(By "I", of course, I mean my wife.)

17th Street Warehouse

2009-10-12T04:00:00.000-07:00

Went out for a drive this weekend looking for a good photo op. Found grunge heaven near 17th and McLoughlin -- an entire block of old warehouses.

Five Stones

Wrapping up a week of beach photos from Westport, Washington. (Which was an incredible locale, by the way--if you're into free, secluded, luxurious vacations by the ocean.)

Refractions

2009-10-08T04:00:00.000-07:00

A visual cacophony created by the Fresnel lens at the Grays Harbor Lighthouse near Westport, Washington.
