One On One

This man is shooting probably the most photographed item in the city of Portland. It is a sculpture created by J. Seward Johnson and it is entitled “Allow Me”. Most people just call him “Umbrella Man” because it’s the statue of a man hailing a taxi (apparently for an out-of-town visitor) while holding an umbrella. Umbrella Man is stationed at the south end of Pioneer Courthouse Square, also known as Portland’s living room. Everyone who passes through this city park gets his or her picture taken with the sculpture.
