Portland is a delightful place to be. While I was there it was sunny and warm every day.

I was really pressuring myself to make sure I take MANY AMAZING photos.

I was forcing it, and nothing was really happening for me. I was just taking photos of 'stuff'.

Portland is a pretty chilled out place, so I really should've adapted to my surroundings and just calmed down a bit. Here's my first round of photos from Portland, it's certainly not award winning travel photography (like I required of myself), but there are a lot of pretty flowers. (Also just between you & me - the New York - Coney Island blog post is going to be a real treat. There are a few fun shots in there so stay posted!)
