Do not walk.

I LOVE this picture. I love the busy but not so busy feeling it gives you. The detail on this photo really catched your eye and draws your attention to the zero on the cross walk sign. I didnt want to take a close up of the homeless man because one time when I volenteered at a shelter we were told not to take pictures. Another thing I love is the contrast between the blacks and whites!

Mixedup

The Mosaics were chanlengeing I give you that. When taking the pictures I took them in order, but when putting them on photoshop it was all jumbled. It took alot of work getting things in oreder and making them work.

Outside My Window

After visiting Rome a couple of summers ago, I fell in love with

arches. This building doesn't exactly fit in with the modern feel of Portland but gives us an old time, roman empire feeling when standing under it. It was my all time favorite picture in the architectureproject.

Face Lift

This is a building downtown that is being renovated. It has a outer casing on it where people are quickly trying to make it something better and new, Just like a face lift.

Always in Someone Else's Shadow

The first thing I thought of when looking at this building was its

majestic mirror effect. It reminds me of a girl who wants to be

Someone else and when looking in a mirror she pictures her self

as if she is no longer her. In the end you can never fully be some-

one else and in the end your true colors will always shine through.

Stairway to Beyond

This has to be one of my favorite additions in this project. I caught the light just right and the picture gives you this mysterious feeling. You never know where staircases might lead and in Portland, its probably a good idea to fallow them. They may just change your life.

Portlandia

Walking around Portland its impossible to get bored.

There are so many interesting people and things to see.

I discovered these amazing lamps that were a great

addition to my architecture project. They gave the photo

an older feel, but still having the modern feeling you get

when you experience this magical city.
