Breakfast Anyone?


On my trip to Portland I had breakfast at Dick Clark's restaurant at the airport.

Back in May of last year I was on a business trip to Denver and we had lunch at the restaurant but was not impressed at all and glad I was not paying.

Breakfast was much better and last month took my wife to Breakfast here before flying to Portland again.

While having breakfast last October I took this picture of my breakfast which was the steak and eggs.

Fortunately the restaurant was pretty empty so I could take this picture in peace without anyone getting suspicious of the photographer.

Portland Streetcar on 5th Street at PSU

Here is one of the first shots I took after arriving in Portland for my conference. I took the MAX red line from the Airport and then rode the Green Line since it was new since the last time I was here.

After a ride on the green line to Clackamas Town Center I rode it back to downtown and then took the streetcar to the South Waterfront area in order to ride the Ariel Tram.

Here is a shot of the Portland Streetcar that I would ride to the South Waterfront area. The MAX train I rode was on the tracks to the left of the streetcar.

Have to love the neon...

After my conference in Portland I took Amtrak's Cascade service to Seattle to visit my best friend.

The Portland train station is a beautiful classic station. The lobby still has many classic details including these wonderful neon signs.

I took this picture with a GE X5 super zoom camera. While it obviously did pretty good in these low light pictures, most of the other pictures were horrible.

Wentworth Chevrolet

Here is another picture that I took back in October when I was attending a conference in Portland, Oregon.

I flew in on Saturday and with the conference not starting until Monday gave me a day and a half to walk the town and take some pictures.

This Chevrolet Dealership was only four blocks away from my motel so I had the opportunity to photograph it while walking toward downtown.

Classic urban dealerships like this are becoming harder and harder to find so I take pictures of them whenever I get the chance.

The lighting was not picture perfect but I like the result of the picture.
