Northern sights– a collection of Portland imagery, filtered through the eyes of a four-year resident.   I took these photos during a preparatory period, as I transitioned from the Pacific Northwest to Southern California.

Do I miss Portland?  Not so much.  It’s changing rapidly, so quickly that the city I knew has completely evolved into a sleeker, sexier, more corporate beast.  All the Portland people complaining about LA are watching their city become a mini-version with more tattoos.

This selection of shots was chosen for their personal relevance to my life in PDX, and their interesting juxtaposition, from street-shots to still-life.  Northern sights:  visions of my past.
