I had great fun out on the streets with other photographers during ASMP’s “Portland Squared” event. I really enjoyed seeing everyone’s work at the end of the day…so many different perspectives!
And I think perhaps most of all I loved feeling of camaraderie that was present throughout the day. Established photographers came together with students who are just starting out with their careers and it did not matter what type of camera anyone had or whether they were published, won an award, or made a ton of money this year. We all were there for the simple love of photography.
I decided to set up an outdoor studio in a few locations in my “square” of Portland. I took hundreds of images, and at the end of the day, my cellphone images were my favorite of the day.
If working on the streets sounds like something you would like to try, street photography/portraiture is a class I teach regularly. Check the class listings on my website, or send me an email to see if we are in the planning stages of an upcoming class.
