“Portland.”
Why I love Portland, reason 3: beautiful downtown.

Portland, Oregon from Vista Blvd, April 2009. It was part of the Night Shift Project.
Spring had almost sprung. I drove my aging Volvo into the West Hills high above Portland, and erected my tripod just up the road from the Vista Bridge. As was the case many nights before, my day job working on the night shift was keeping me awake on my days off. This is one result.
