dailyeye > Mt. Rainier From The Air
September 4, 2008

This was the opening photo on my trip to Sweden. (I'm posting them now since I had no internet access the two weeks I was there.)  Was lucky enough to sit on the side of the plane that Rainier was on and we had clear, cloudless skies most of the flight.  (The sun never actually went down the entire flight from Portland, OR, to Amsterdam!) Looking down from the plane, I was also fortunate I had my tiny P&S in my handbag and quickly got several good snaps of the mountain before we zoomed past.  

Had to do a little work in Photoshop to remove a severe bluish/grayish cast from either the atmosphere or the airplane windows or both just so the clouds would look white again.  Also, the pic was very grainy since my P&S is a cheapie so I used Despeckle and Smartblur.

Malibu, our tabby, looks up from her grooming ritual at just the right time.  I love how the light profiles her face.  Too bad her tail was stretched out farther than my cutoff.  Still, catching her for a photo is incredibly lucky.

The Moreland Theater, in our little Westmoreland downtown is a great venue built in 1926 with wonderful period deco details such as this light medallion in the lobby.  Grain and ink filters added in PSE6.

I love this section of 99E between our Westmoreland Neighborhood and Milwaukie, OR. Whenever I drive through here I always wish I could drive and shoot a photo at the same time.  Today, my husband was driving while I dug out my camera and snapped a couple of motion shots.  Camera info: 100 ISO; F22; .40 sec; handheld; Canon Rebet XT.

Last night we went to see Guys and Dolls at Portland Center Stage.  Across the street is a fun place to eat, Deschutes Brewery.

dailyeye > Skidmore Fountain
August 30, 2008

Yes, Henry Weinhard actually offered to pipe his beer through this fountain for the dedication in 1888.  Skidmore Fountain is Portland's oldest commissioned work of public art.  The fountain is inscribed with the quote, "Good citizens are the riches of a city," a line from the dedicatory speech by C.E.S. Wood, a member of the Fountain Committee.

New York critics at the time were irritated that such a beautiful sculpture was in Portland, a "western city with a be-whiskered, be-pistoled lot of frontiersmen" and that it looked down "upon buggies and buck-boards, and shirt-sleeves and slouch hats in Oregon instead of decorating the Central Park (in New York City)."

Starting up my daily photo effort again for 2009 with this Sycamore leaf on the frosted lawn.
