Greetings from unsunny Portland

Does the sun even know Portland exists?

I’m out on the West Coast this week for a mixed business / personal trip and after arriving in Portland Monday night, I have not seen the sun yet. I hear rumor that it will come out and be beautiful today, which will be great as I am meeting up with a couple people from On1 this afternoon for a bite, and finishing up the business parts of the trip this morning.

I’m thinking of taking a drive down to Multnomah Falls tomorrow for some photos, if the weather cooperates, which does not look good. Could try to head down after meeting with Hudson and Nate from On1 … hmmm. I haven’t had much time for my photography addiction the past few months and I’m itching to get out and shoot.

Now.. where the hell is my coffee …
