When I went to see Project Hail Mary at OMSI, I knew I'd be passing some cool stuff I'd love to shoot, but wasn't going to bring a camera back to a movie theater... though I think I could have gotten away with it. I tried to take some pics, but most are not worth posting.
This one is okay:

See that sort of sheen/reflection off of the paint? It's not very visible in person, but in most of my shots it obscures the art. I can't control for it well via a phone.
On the way to the show, I stopped at Living Haus Brewing because I hadn't tried it yet. I had a half pour of a cream ale. It was okay. I'll need to try something else by them. But, I did stop and write for a bit in a brewery in a converted warehouse with an analog DJ deck:

Racking up the Portlandy points. I was working on a project that hoooopefully I'll have done soon.
Fast forward to today...
Anyway, for today the plan was to go write at Queer Plants. But on the way I saw something happening at Mike Bennett's studio so I hopped off, checked out what turned out to be a community tag sale and then walked to Queer Plants... but I wandered a bit and then wound up at the corner of Alameda and Alameda. Took 3 hours to get there. I'd been tempted to bring my real camera in case I saw anything to help get my photo posting going again, but I did not... and then I wound up walking for hours.
Glimpse of what Mike Bennett is currently working on:

Some of the exchange stations at his studio:


This was painful, stairs overgrown with ivy. This is a very cool potential shot and I might reshoot later with my real camera. As a cell phone grab it's hard to visually parse





Horse rings with horses! Haven't seen that in a while

From another walk, but tossing it with this post
I don't want to be carrying too much when out walking or going to go write somewhere, but damn today I wish I had my camera and also a hat

I like the swap stations.
The ivy-covered stairs are magical looking.
Phone pole art! Skeletons! Amazing murals!
HORFS.
The "all war" addition is so well-designed and official looking.
