PORTLAND

In late May 2022, after living in the Berkeley / Oakland area for a couple decades, we loaded up the van with the dogs and moved to Portland, Oregon. I'm still in a big period of adjustment, but here are some snapshots that I captured in the second half of 2022. All these shots were taken with a Ricoh GR IIIx that I never leave the house without.

A small collection of tracks that I've picked up since I moved. I mixed this in one shot on my trusty old Technics 1200 turntables and Vestax PM-05 mixer with a couple of beers in my system. :) So, the mix is a bit imperfect in spots, which I generally prefer.
