A community event for all ages! Hosted on April 4th, 2015, Portland Day offered the local community an opportunity visit our new campus home, the Arlene & Harold Schnitzer Center for Art & Design, and to participate in some fun, free activities. We made robots, did some face painting, and had an awesome time!

Got bored the other night, and thought I'd have a drive into town to see if I could find anything new and exciting.
As usual, I had to be home at a 'decent' hour, so I could make it to work without so much of a problem the following morning. Uneventfully, I trudged the streets, looking for the 'shot of my dreams.' Oh, you know what I'm talkin' about. You've got it visioned in your head and yet you somehow just can't put it through the viewfinder. That's how this whole night was. Not necessarily a bad thing, this predicament has taught me two things:
A) Learn to really see in your mind what you want to be in the viewfinder
B) Use different lenses, focal lengths, apertures, exposures, ISOs, etc to get what you have in mind. It won't be on the first shot. And good on you if you can ever get it exactly how you imagined at all.
Oh, Portland, what a splendiferous city thou art.
