Today was that day in Portland. That day when you realize that there will be no more of those other days. Namely, sunny days. Not to say we won’t see any sun, but it won’t be a sunny day. No, we’re in it for the long haul now. Winter is here. Sure, we might have a slight Fall relapse. Maybe for a day or two. But the leaves are nearly all changed and most have started falling. The temperature this morning was made that much more bitter by the numbing wind and chilly rain. My teeth started chattering the second I stepped outside. Oh yes, it’s that time of year.
So now that we know the weather report for the next six months (52 degrees, mostly cloudy, chance of rain), what do we have to speculate on and talk about? I for one have no idea. What I do know, though, is that this kind of weather makes a great setting for collaboration.
It’s time to gather ‘round the fire place and start coming up how you’re going to do all those great ideas that have been floating around in your head all summer. I for one will be examining a lot of photography-based projects for myself and focusing on website production and teaching for my clients.
My last post mentioned issue one of my photography magazine which features behind-the-scenes stills from Bank Run. Today I finished issue two, a behind-the-scenes look at an untitled feature film from Portland-based Exterior Films. Pending approval from the producers, I may be able to get this one out to the public sooner (since I shot the photos for free).
And, because I felt like I was on a roll today, I started production on issue three. Issue Three will be available immediately upon completion (and most likely be the first in the series available). It will be a portfolio of sorts of shots throughout the last year and a half or so. I’m pretty excited about the content and the shape the issue is taking. Everything from landscapes to objects to portraits. Anyhow, keep an eye on the blog, Facebook, Twitter, or whatever you follow closest. I’ll announce it on all of them!
Stay warm, kiddos.
