Texture Treasure Hunt

Mike and I went on a hunt yesterday in Portland.  SUCH a fun day!  It’s so nice to have him around again for summer vacation.  Anyway, we walked all up and down Mississippi Avenue looking for color and texture.  I’ve been wanting to shoot more with Mike because he’s got such a good eye for color and composition.  He’s going to be doing a guest post in the next couple of days to show you some of his shots from this trip.  For now, here are a few of mine…

Above: ever looked at the back of those orange road construction signs?  This is what it looks like!

Above: my favorite door from the day.  I love all those paint layers.

Above: fancy picket fence.

Above: definitely a favorite for me.  This is a close-up of one of the metal newspaper boxes.

Above: a little Mondrian shot.  There was a building covered in these metal tiles.
