Last Thursday, June 2008

This is a shot from last Thursday on Alberta St. in Portland. It’s a big street fair / market where people sell lots of crafts and artwork. It’s really hard to capture the vibrancy and energy of the atmosphere. Someone parked their car perpendicular to the flow of traffic with a big “STOP” sign on the side, making a protest about how the police refuse to close the street down despite the incredible number of people perusing the market. I bought my first piece of artwork from a lady who does the most fantastic portraits I have ever seen.
