A couple weeks ago I was surprisingly unoccupied, and decided to go on a quick and long-planned-for photo excursion in Portland’s Northwest Industrial District.
3 months, 3 weeks ago
— 01. The most rustic building I came across on the trip; complete with a rather creepy message in the window.
— 04. Northwest Marine Iron Works #7, presumably built around the second world war, still dominates the area long after its conversion to artists’ studios.
— 05. Montgomery Park, at one time the largest building in Oregon, now a large convention center on the southernmost edge of the industrial district.
— 06. Montgomery Park up close. Originally a Montgomery Ward warehouse, upon being converted to other uses, only two letters required being changed.
— 07. Forest Park: ever imposing in the background along the edge of Portland’s core somehow makes the area seem more natural.
Adam works for a small software company in Portland, OR's Cathedral Park neighborhood as a software developer. In recent news, bike commuting from his apartment in the Mississippi District to his office has been making him slightly damper than expected, but having the early-morning view of the St. Johns bridge poking out of the dense fog rolling across the west hills every morning while enjoying his cup of coffee more than makes up for such a minor inconvenience.
Not enough information? I didn't think so either. Well, he cares about things like leftist politics and economics, living a car-free lifestyle, never taking anything for granted, and although he is an unabashed technophile, he dreams of living an unplugged lifestyle in the middle of the wilderness by the time he reaches forty or so years old.
This Adam guy has an really terrible memory for things like names, places, and events. Although it might be rather a miracle that he doesn't drown on his own spit from day-to-day, he has somehow managed to scrape together his software development skills from year to year to maintain this site-- a sort of documentary of his own life. This is more for his sake than yours.
We are all creatures of our own past. How do you remind yourself of your own context?
