The ultimate camera. Oh! how I adored the idea of a Hasselblad when I was a young photographer. The camera that went to the moon; the camera with huge negatives to make lush landscape prints; the camera that cost a fortune, the camera that the pros used. I was happy with my Olympus SLR, but one day...
I think the owner was a bit bemused that I wanted to take a picture of his camera. After all, beautiful frozen Multnomah Falls was the competition. But he stood aside and let me take this heroic shot.
Friday evening in Portland, Maine with Congress Street on the left and Free Street on the Right.
Nestled in downtown Portland stands the Hay Building, a living tribute to the city’s rich history and architectural legacy. Built in 1826 by Charles Q. Clapp, the landmark boasts a distinctive triangular shape that has earned it the nickname “Portland’s Flatiron.” Officially known as the Charles Q. Clapp Block, it’s more commonly recognized as the Hay Building.
Comprising of three interconnected buildings, the Hay Building holds a unique place in Portland’s history. It’s not only one of the city’s oldest structures but also a rare example of Federal-style commercial architecture. Notably, John Calvin Stevens added the third level, further enhancing its character, in 1922.

Portland developed a reputation early on in its history as a hard-edged and gritty port town. Some historians have described the city's early establishment as being a "scion of New England; an ends-of-the-earth home for the exiled spawn of the eastern established elite." In 1889, The Oregonian called Portland "the most filthy city in the Northern States," due to the unsanitary sewers and gutters, and, at the turn of the 20th century, it was considered one of the most dangerous port cities in the world.
