2010 Worldwide Photo Walk

I participated in this year's Worldwide Photo Walk with a night walk up in Portland last Saturday. I had such a blast! What a great opportunity to play with night photography! Here's a healthy selection of my pictures (yet only a small selection of what I took!)

As light trails go this is probably a failure since there's an obvious jump at the beginning (I'm not certain how that happened on my tripod...),
but I sort of liked how it worked out so that the bus' location is readable. It wouldn't have been without the jump.

Now I'm wondering if Saks always locates itself on 5th Avenue wherever they open?

The group finished up at Paddy's bar to look at their pictures. I decided rather than wait and look I wanted
to go take more pictures on the way back to the car, but first I had to get a picture of the drink wall.

My friend pointed out something funny about this.
Is this representative of the finacial burden one encurs when purchasing at this particular establishment?

And, because I'm a huge dork, I got up and down off the sidewalk over and over to get this self-portrait right - or close enough?
