A few photos from today’s trip out to shoot a few Lawrence Halprin Park inspired photographs. Most of the trees are still barren, but a few on the south end of the park sequence where in full pink bloom, so I took full advantage. The smell was absolutely devastating. I photographed a few children jumping around the pills at the Love Joy fountain too. It reminded me of the implied design of motion built into the Halprin parks. And a major source of motion in the parks, regardless of the season, are the pigeons. They swirled over head, and received some attention from my camera.
I traveled down to Lyons, Oregon with a small crew to work on a film project at a plywood mill with an amazing director/DP Lionel Coleman (www.lionelcoleman.com). I assisted camera and worked the lights for the day while Lionel shot video on the Canon 5DMii. It was a real experience shooting inside an operating saw mill. Lots of dust, wood, and loud machines. I watched a stack of logs get turned into a stack of plywood in no time flat, an absolutely fascinating feet of modern engineering. Here are a few non-sensicle images I shot during the day.

I shot a few more portraits of average ordinary Portlanders. I’m trying to get a mix of people that really shows the diversity within the city by getting close to people we might otherwise not notice. I am always so fascinated by the people I meet when I walk the streets of Portland, especially when they allow me the opportunity to chat with them while I take their picture.
I shot a few Halprin landscape photos with my wide angle medium format camera to try and obtain a look more natural than the digital 5DMii images. My Mamiya doesn’t have a light meter, so all of the subsequent photos where taken with the use of a hand-held light meter. I’ll be excited to see the leaves and grass come back so I can get started on another series of images.
