Daily Journal of Commuting in Portland... On Foot

holladay · #1 Posted **Jan 5, 2009, 6:21 AM**

These photos were taken while I walked to and from work this past fall. Many of them are shots of the same streets and buildings shown in different light and weather conditions. Also, on certain days when I needed to go to other areas of town for various reasons I carried my camera with me when I left work. The pics sort of chronicle the passing of the fall season in September and October. Hope you enjoy!

I'm moving to Portland next week -- so pumped to be skipping out on another New York winter. Nice photos, sir.

Very bohemian. I like the fact that you threw in some shots of the slums, too. Too often we only see "perfect Portland".

Portland ain't all roses and violets, but I'm guilty of usually photographing only the things I'm interested in. Nonetheless, these aren't really the slummy areas of Portland. Most of those are in North and Northeast Portland. I don't get over to those parts very often but one of these days I'll try to do a tour.

Impressive collection. Potland is such a great city.

Wow, those were some beautiful pictures... thanks for posting them. Didn't the city receive a lot of snow recently? I'd like to see Portland in the snow.
