very nice, man. lots of things i haven't seen before, or at least angles i don't recognize. i dunno about my man smoking that pipe in those boots, though.

never mess with a guy with rubber boots smoking a pipe. he means business.

Nice work!

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.

(I'm a Blazers fan, and I commend Cho for pulling the Gerald Wallace trade, but I miss Joel and Dante, they were standup guys.)

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

Portland will be the next US city I visit.
