Portland Light
A quick grab shot while on an evening photo walk. Yes, the sun does shine in Portland.

Smoke Break
I liked the elegance of her hand, the ring, the sweater and the way she held the cigarette. The chain link fence made a nice frame and background pattern.

Crystal Pier, Pacific Beach
Watching the sunset is both a cliche and a big part of beach culture. It had been grey and rainy all afternoon. Just before sunset, the rain stopped, the sun popped out and folks made a beeline to the pier. I couldn't resist a snapshot.

Chicano Park
Details from a few of the murals in Chicano Park, Barrio Logan, San Diego. The park, under the Coronado Bridge, was founded forty years ago after a twelve day protest. Building the Coronado Bridge was going to have a negative impact on Barrio Logan and the community wasn't happy about it. The Chicano Park was one of the concessions residents got from the city of San Diego. For more information about the park go to: http://www.chicanoparksandiego.com/. Next time you're in San Diego check it out!

Beach Bike
I'm just back from a trip to San Diego. I didn't do a whole lot of photography while I was visiting but I did snap a few pics here and there. This one was taken on the bike, skate, jogging, walking path that runs along Pacific Beach and Mission Beach. I sat on a bench for a long time snapping beach bike photos. I like this one the best.

Portland Cityscape
Waterfront Park, Willamette River and a few of Portland's bridges. It kind of looks old timey.

Street Chess
The chess games at Pioneer Square in downtown Portland can be intense. These guys take their game seriously. It's fun to watch and listen to the banter.

More Portland
This is Dee, short for Delores. I met her Sunday afternoon in downtown Portland. She was smoking and waiting for her laundry and agreed to let me photograph her.
The window seat, baseball cap and black and white vest with the plaid pants caught my eye. She reminded me a little of my Grandma Gracie.
