Super gray, soggy, dreary Portland winter day today. In a small lull in the deluge, some red berries on a tree. A little color in an otherwise gray world.
January 10: MORNOTF!
This was inked on the fence around the perimeter of Holladay Park in Northeast Portland. No idea what it means. Any ideas?
January 9: Rook’s Barbershop Downtown
This is the downtown Rook’s location. It’s in the Medical Dental Building, which is this odd 10 story-ish building near the main library full of dentist offices.

January 8: Sidewalk Patch
Shooting outside in the rain. Too dark to shoot. Pushed ASA. Everything washed out. 40mm f/2.8. Only salvageable shot. I kind of like it.
