I was rummaging for an old photo when I found these images from a portrait project I shot years ago at Burnside in Portland, OR. Gawd, they bring back memories, just of living in Portland and the wonderful people and vibe of that city. A different time and place indeed…for me at least; really it was only a few years ago, but sometimes life can come up with a lot in a little time…

It was back too when I thought shooting 4×5 was “really cool” and when my pictures had some modicum of a sense of humor…both areas I like to think I’ve come a ways on.

Is Burnside still around? Or did they end up closing it?
