On my way downtown to join
David Falconer and the rest of
my photo-journalism class on a
field trip, I got to thinking: why
pictures of Portland? How gray,
drab and boring can you get?
Catching my class at the Skid­
more Fountain, I mildly was sur­
prised to see what the morning
sun did for the people and
sculptures of downtown. I have
been downtown numerous times,
but I have never taken the time to
notice the beauty and character
residing there.
Even though I was using black
and white film, the color behind
the scenes told their own story.
I’m not quite familiar on how
to use my camera as of yet. When
I have learned, I plan on taking
another trip downtown.
The difference on how I used
to see Portland and how I see it
now, is the difference between
seeing a room with the lights off
and then again with the lights on.
