awesome work. I always wonder if I'll catch a glimpse of myself in one of your photos, but it hasn't happened yet. How did you get the Marquam Bridge skyline shots? were they from a moving car? The look pretty blur-free.

Yeah seriously, it's bound to happen soon or vice versa ! Yes, those Marquam shots are from a moving car (and usually one that I'm driving)... Probably not the smartest move? Not sure the views are worth a car wreck and a trip to the hospital but it's fun when they turn out well. It's from a Nikon CoolPix, an easy little camera to just point and click without blurring.

Just got lucky -- a friend had tickets to that game, and it was fun to see the crowd go wild over our two ex-Blazers, even when they scored against us
