Rexall Drugstore

On February 7, 2011 By Fred KingIn Alberta Street, Art, buildings, coffee, PortlandLeave a comment

Painting of the old Rexall Drugstore on the corner of Alberta St and 24th NE in Portland. The space is now occupied by the Star E Rose Cafe on the first floor and I think apartments on the 2nd floor.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s

On January 7, 2011 By Fred KingIn Art, B&W, PosterLeave a comment

Photo of a photo. A poster-sized photo I have had for 25 years on my wall. Stating the obvious, this image if from the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s, starring Audrey Hepburn.

Bridge Grafitti

On December 30, 2010 By Fred KingIn Art, Bridge, graffitiLeave a comment

 

Although access to the underside of the bridge has been fenced off there are still reminders of a time when access was not discouraged. Sadly, there are remnants of homeless camps as well as graffiti.

Hybrid?

On November 28, 2010 By Fred KingIn Art, Statue2 Comments

This could be a tribute to a hybridization experiment gone horribly wrong or perhaps folk art missing the mark.

About Me

Currently 73 years old, cancer survivor  living in Seattle, WA. Enjoy both photography and music.

Update: 6 Sept 2023: Cancer has returned. Probably will start directed radiation treatment at the end of October.

Update: 24 Sept 2024: After two 15 round sessions of SBRT I am now undergoing chemotherapy. After chemo, A PET scan will assess where I am. After the scan I will be minimally doing a year of immunotherapy -beginning November, 2024. Update: 8 March 2025-Finished 3rd immunotherapy ( Imfinzi- a checkpoint inhibitor) and fourth is on 11 March 2015. Another PET SCAN scheduled for 18 March 2025.

Update Sept. 2025: Scans from a couple of weeks ago look positive. However, Oncologist has changed the original plan from one year of immunotherapy to continuing “indefinitely”, as he feels, due to my history with cancer, that if stopped it would come back.
