For First Friday Art Walk in Portland I met up with the usual suspects for a couple of hours of night urban photography. I tried to do the whole thing flash-less which meant some nice bokeh wherever I pointed the camera.

Our luchador money box was full so I emptied it and couldn’t resist a photo or three while my cheese on toast toasted.

There’s no real consensus on how to pronounce Bokeh. For me it rhymes with ‘okay’. Did you know in America the Hokey Cokey is the Hokey Pokey? That’s one of my favourite ‘liddle differences’. From Wolfe’s Neck park again as threatened in my last post…

I want to ride my bicycle, but there appear to be issues of scale.

Waiting for DrSita, Sudarat and Michelle to take their respective turns in Jenga! I took advantage of the rarefied atmosphere to snap the view from my strategic placement on the floor…

Here’s the little camera that prompted me to register the domain vintageviewfinders.com. It was a bargain all round. I’ve not taken many TTV shots lately, but will soon…

If you’re reading this on the site and not via email, I spent a couple of hours trying to make it so you can click on the main photo to view the next image. It was surprisingly tricky but I managed it in the end. Now you don’t have to fiddle around trying to find the link each time. There’s never been a better time to have a look through the archives (this is photo #251 :D )

Also on the cards is a button to switch the background to white or grey depending on your mood. Don’t hold your breath for that one mind, but I’m on it.
