Portland. The city that works for you.

By JT

Typical day in Portland Oregon. Why anyone would visit here is beyond me. The city has gone from charming and friendly to disgusting and hostile. Not a day goes by you don't see syringes, human feces on the street, anarchists and just about any other kind of undesirable tourist attractions. Blame in on the local city council and Mayor. The sad thing is some of these people really need help and they don't get it. Oh, did I say I can't wait to get out of here?

Nose ring

By JT

The nose ring caught my attention as I was walking by. I just asked if I could photograph it and he said yes. Most time people have no problem as long as you ask. I know it changes the dynamics of the scene a little but it works for the most part. Just be friendly.

Staying in the shade.

By JT

A lunch time walk in Portland offers countless photo opportunities for street photographers, and taking a smaller camera like a Leica M or a small mirror-less makes you look less intimidating. Another hot day in Portland. Avoiding the sun just around the corner from the food bank near 6th and Burnside.
