Field notes and essays — who I photographed, what I was reading, and what the weather looked like when the picture was made.
TriMet's original MAX Type 1 trains opened Portland's light rail system in 1986. On April 18, the city said goodbye at Holladay Park — Sharpies in hand, signing every white panel of car 124 until there was no room left. A retirement party that read more like a thank-you note.
The AT Protocol is a quiet attempt to rebuild social software the way email was built — open, portable, owned by no one. A meetup in Portland this week made the stakes feel real.
Portland's cherry trees bloom for ten days — sometimes fewer. You can't plan for it, but you can keep showing up. Every year I do, for the blossoms and the way they make the whole city stop and breathe.

An Earth Day procession makes its way through Southeast Portland.
Peter Marks: DJ, producer, activist. His non-profit Rhythm Nation brings working people together through music. We made portraits for his podcast and his career — some in daylight, some in darker light that felt closer to the music itself. A few from the session.
Techno artist Jack Coleman visited my studio for a portrait session. The resulting studio-lit images are featured in his press kit and online. Jack appreciated the high-quality photos and the collaborative experience.
Cayce needed headshots for her resume and social media. We worked through several looks in my studio, and she left with a polished, professional collection - retouched and color-graded to suit her style.
