    “Our Hoodie” - Mt. Hood during sunrise on a cold spring morning.  This picture was taken from Council Crest.  It was especially cold and windy that day!

    “Eternal Support” - This is the underbelly of the Ross Island Bridge in Portland, Oregon. There are plans to build a park under this bridge someday. There is major redevelopment happening just to the north and south (left and right). It is surprisingly quiet under this particular bridge even though it is used heavily.

    “Transformation” - South Waterfront, Portland, Oregon. This is where I live. This photo is a composite of 2 different photos. The left side was taken in 2005 when the neighborhood was first being developed from industrial wasteland. The right side was taken in 2012 showing what the neighborhood has become. Both pictures were taken from the exact location but years apart. The floors of the building in the middle are aligned perfectly to show the transition from the past to the present. This neighborhood has a long history. It was one of the largest urban redevelopment projects in the US at the time. Originally, Native Americans Lived on this land. The first cabin in Portland was built here in 1842. As Portland grew, some of the wet lands here were filled in and the area became an industrial hub. Liberty ships for the World War II effort were built here. After the war, they were dismantled here. The ground became polluted over the years due to industrial production and was finally cleaned up and prepared for development. The land was deemed valuable due to its close proximity to downtown Portland and the Willamette River. To date, nine buildings have been completed, some as tall as 30 stories. Four other buildings are under construction including a research building that is a collaboration between Oregon Health Sciences University, Portland State University and Oregon State University. The neighborhood is also home to one of only two trams in the US that is within city limits. The other being in New York City.

    “Skulls and Stripes” - I stumbled upon this graffiti in a burned out and abandoned warehouse in SE Portland. There was evidence that a lot of partying had gone down in there. This was one of the more interesting works I saw.

    I filmed the moving of the Sellwood Bridge over the course of 10 hours and squeezed it into this time lapse. It is the longest bridge ever moved at 1,100 feet long and over 3,400 tons. It was moved on January 19th, 2013 in Portland, Oregon.

    “Up and Away!” - a shot from under the Portland Aerial Tram. There are two tram cars. The two cars are named Jean and Walt, after Jean Richardson, the first female engineering graduate from Oregon State University, and Walt Reynolds, the first African-American to graduate from OHSU, then known as the University of Oregon Medical School.

    “Rainbow Waterfront” - Sometimes you have to mix things up a bit. This was a picture I took from a boat on the Willamette River. The original picture wasn’t doing much for me until I applied this crazy effect. Then everything just fell into place.
