Random Order

One of the half-dozen coffee shops on Alberta Street in NE Portland, Random Order is painted nicely and is a fun place to spend some time. I have taken a few photos of this coffee shop in the past few years and I still don’t think I have the best possible image. This one was shot with the 55mm F3.5 manual lens I recently bought. I’ll keep trying. The atmosphere in this place has changed over the last couple of years. Frankly, I liked it when it was less patronized and the staff played some really obscure music on the stereo. All of those staff members left, one by one, and now it is just a different place.

PS: that’s me reflected in the glass window to the right of the door just under the letter “R”.

Thought I would post a photo from last week before I continue with the New York photos. Over the next few days I will be posting images from around the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn. The Gowanus Canal has been covered by a score of good photographers, in fact one evening, while I was shooting, I ran into a photographer from Atlanta, Ga. scouting out sights to shoot. My regret is that I didn’t have enough time to investigate more of the canal than I did as I had very limited time to work with.
