- FIVE PICTURE FRIDAY!!
Taken September 2, 2023
No place exposes the contradictions of Portland like its downtown waterfront. A busy place of community utility, yet full of our societal woes. It’s home to amazing bridges, parks, families, homeless camps, markets, tourists, and protests. Bike friendly yet hemmed in by freeways. Pockmarked with art and decay. Nature and concrete. A working port and a place for water sports. Battleground. Campground. Play ground. You can argue if it’s good or bad, but it certainly is real…
About “Five Picture Friday”
Every other Friday, I produce a short photo-essay on a location I found interesting. I try to capture the essence of the place, distilled down into a few images. It’s a fun way to practice my photography, and I hope you enjoy a little armchair travel!
Parting Proclamation
Words, witticisms, and wisdom:
For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
