The fountains are on
I had a few hours to kill today so I grabbed a few filters and shot some long exposures at the LoveJoy and Keller Fountains today.
Looking through Olympus
I took my dad’s old Olympus OM2 out of the closet and shot a roll of Tri-X B&W film the other day… Here’s a selection from the roll of 36.
Lawrence Halprin Landscapes | Birds and blooms
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 [...]
Halprin Landscapes – Medium Format
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 [...]
Portland’s first snow, video
We got our first snow of the year, Dec. 29th, so I put together a short video on my Canon 5DMii. Scroll down to see some photos from the day as well.
Halprin Landscapes in the snow
Portland was surprised with some snow today. I was on a hike with Anna on the Oaks Bottom trail when the first flakes hit the ground, Then we took a trip into downtown to shoot some Halprin landscapes. I shot for a while as the snow fell, and decided to come back after dark and [...]
Halprin Panoramics, and a bowl of noodles.
I’ll start off today with an interesting photo of a man, eating a bowl of noodles alone in a chinese restaurant. I was walking from my car over to Harrison Street and found myself drawn toward this scene. I’m often captivated by events that invoke a sense of quiet isolation among a busy city environment. [...]
Halprin Cont.
The Halprin landscape photos continued today with a few drops of rain and lots of scattered leaves. I learned the other day, the most abundant plant on Earth is grass. There are millions of varieties and they cover the globe from pole to pole. So, I took a crack at photographing the grasses that speckle [...]
More from the Harrison Project
I headed out tonight to shoot a few more abstract Portland urban landscapes for the Harrison project, and came back with this.
More from Harrison
I ventured out to the grounds surrounding the Harrison building again today for 90 min, the length of time my parking spot allowed. The clouds where rolling in and the mood was stark, so was the light. I took another crack at the rolling hills of the park area, but I’m not sure I’ve achieved [...]
The Harrison and Lawrence Halprin
The Harrison Condos in downtown Portland have proposed a remodel project for their three towers along the Harrison pedestrian corridor that was inspired by famed landscape architect Lawrence Halprin. One of the proposed upgrades is a series of large black and white landscape/cityscape photos of the green covered pedestrian walk to be displayed on each [...]
