I actually did photowalk 3 times this week

But, meh, no shots I am happy about.

I was excited because I was sure I'd found some blocks I hadn't walked already! But, I was wrong. It has just been a while. Re-walking the same spaces, especially different times of year, can be great. I do it intentionally sometimes. There is a section of Woodstock I revisit every few months at this point. I re-walk Clinton a lot. But I was excited, only to get there and be all 'oh... oops'

I really need to plan some trips further afield. Hit some new 'hoods. Maybe further south. There are some pockets of blocks I think I haven't hit, but I've hit a lot. I've covered an impressive portion of the eastside of Portland at this point.

I'm sorry you weren't happy with what you got.

It seems like you've hit an impressive amount of the map! While not quiet the same, I remember doing similar things with parks in the area. Thinking "Oh, I've never been to this one!" only to realize once I got there that... oh yeah, I came here a few years ago. Still not the worst, and each walk or hike is different, but revisiting isn't the same as finding somewhere totally new.

Street art changes a lot. Some of my best shots have been of things that didn't last. Fall and spring can be really different. Still, I'd really like some unknown streets. But also, some parts of this town have a lot more of what I'd like to shoot than other areas. I want to walk it all, but West Hills and Woodstock are very different.
