    Portland, Oregon | Cascadia Road Trip, Part 2

    Portland is just as green as its reputation suggests. Green in the scenery, green in its hipster eco-friendliness. It’s a small, small town packed to the gills with bicycles and coffee shops. Charming. This was the first city we visited (after a stop at Crater Lake) on our epic Pacific coast road trip. We arrived…

    Washington D.C. | Fuji 400H | Shooting Film

    These images bring back the humid embrace of summer, the ninety-some degrees weather and array of sunshine and rain storms.
