I have a personal attachment to plants that are considered weeds and described as intrusive. I love how beautiful they are and how complex they become. Even though they get pulled and destroyed, weeds first bloom and spiral up into the sky.
Here is my perspective of all the over grown near by.

Next to the weeds is where I started my first compost pile. I feel empowered to have created my own dirt from the remains of my vegetables. What a wonderful circle to have known. Here is where my future garden will grow.
This is a series of images from 2010 of the Southwest Waterfront and John’s Landing.
I had one of these images showcased in the THEN. NOW. HERE. Exhibtion during this years Portland Photo Month, April 2012.

Around Portland: Cathedral Park Dock and view of St. John’s Bridge
I have been “playing” with my photos; my mom WOULD approve!
Lately, I have been layering different hues of color to my images to make them “SEEM” mystical. I have applied a red-orange hue and cyan layer to these images of the St. John’s Bridge and Cathedral Park Dock to enahance the color that the image already holds. Using the complimentary colors against themselves translates more harmony that contrast. I hope that you enjoy this new treatment style!
