Mural for Snake River Stampede Whisky on the side of the Modern Man barber shop at Southeast 46th Avenue and Hawthorne Boulevard in Portland.
The Steel Bridge seemed to reflect every form of transportation but air... 2 decks, one for trains and a pedestrian walkway, one for auto, trucks, and light rail, and a center lift section for boats.
This is my favorite trip from this Portland trip.
There's a story with this guy - quite serendipitous. My friend Suzie and I went to the Saturday Market and she talked me into going to the palm reader. At the next station was this guy (we later came to know as Floyd) and a couple of friends selling stickers.
When the palm reading was done, Suzie and I were reviewing our read together (the theme being a bit of disappointment that she was such a quack) and up runs Floyd who starts asking us what we thought of the reading. It was a strange encounter but we gave him our thoughts. He then pulled us over to his table and proceeded to do a Numerology reading on Suzie. And she was so impressed that it was spot on. We thanked him and said our good byes. After we were a little ways away, I said to Suzie that I wish I had the courage to ask him if I could take a macro of the tatoo on his cheek.
The next day (Sunday) Suzie and were walkin' around Portland and Floyd and his friend go driving up the street and he yells out at us. We yell back and he stops and gets outta the car. We chit chat a bit and then I ask if I can take a pic of his tatoo. He agrees and straightens up and looks directly at the lens. Very powerful.
