great oldies

They get some pretty brilliant looking soccer matches going on over at the field.

They condemned Joes Cellar so Chris and I tried Nob Hill B&G as a neighborhood haunt.  We got a seat out on the sidewalk, which was pretty fun.  They have a pretty agreeable clientele and the first beer I got out of the tap was completely rotten.  I think we have a winner!

Instead of 3 in the key it'd be 3 on the drain.

mostly exterior.

The North Park Blocks-- hard to get it just right.  I know there's potential down there but reaching potential was always a weakness of mine.

NW Portland; the soon to be razed CNW property.

SE Portland.

From the waterfront for Cinco de Mayo I'm guessing.

Sellwood.  Baby and I get around on that bike!

Dang if this one was a little less crooked it could have been an all-timer!  Why is it so hard to get straight up and down lines?

Sellwood again.  Fun times around sunset.

dog park

unfortunately dog is a grouch and doesn't play well with other dogs.  Going to the dog park used to be the best.

bike shots

Child and I have been biking around.  It's a pretty good time.

mt tabor

I used to love going to Tabor.  Good place to have gears on your bike.  My current biking for pleasure route is the esplanade to riverfront park loop, crossing at the Steel Bridge and Hawthorne.  Biking with a co-pilot is fun-- I can narrate the ride without people looking at me askance.

Happy May to all!

singapore out-take

From a hawker center.  They always had a juice booth with fresh squeezed juices for like $2.  P was partaking hard.

home stripes

I've become fascinated by these type of striped pictures.  I imagine with a few flashes and a tripod I could get this scene to be pretty neon.  Maybe someday!

backyard portraits

I think our backyard could be an epic photo portrait studio.  I tested the theory out the afternoon after I took my 2nd CPA test.  I have a special portrait camera that gathers dust otherwise.  So I took a whole roll.  There are a few missing shots-- I might have taken some pictures on another camera.  I hope so.  I remember hitting the button once and being excited, but I don't see that one here.

I like to celebrate finishing a CPA test section by drinking lots of beers.  P was ... not thrilled.  We'll celebrate some other way for the next one P!  Maybe a nice chicken dinner out?  I'll start lining up a sitter.

Me and brother are not comfortable in front of the camera.  This was later in the day-- the light had flattened considerably.  Also the camera tilted to hot-dog style.

I'm hoping to take many more out there.  Come over if you want to "sit" for one or a few.  This the first time in a long time a whole roll was people pictures, and probably the first time in his life that baby wasn't a prominent subject in a roll.  He's conspicuously absent.
