Sunburned for Change Part II

Posted by zhx on May 22nd, 2008 filed in All, Photography, Religion/Politics

Mom to Me May 21 (1 day ago)
My friend, who has been sick since March and has just had her tonsils out in an attempt to get at whatever is wrong with her (have I pulled on your heartstrings yet?) is DYING to see your Obama photos. Please help make her recuperation easier by getting [...]

New Skate Pics

Posted by zhx on March 12th, 2008 filed in All, Photography, Skateboarding

So a couple weeks ago I ran into some guys at one of the skate parks near my apartment who have been cool enough to help me get acclimated to skateboarding in Portland. In fact, I didn’t know about the other skatepark about a mile from my place until I met these guys. They’re total [...]

Anonymous vs Scientology: Portland

Posted by zhx on February 11th, 2008 filed in All, Photography, Religion/Politics

I’m not sure how long I’ve been following Anonymous’ war on Scientology, but it’s been nearly since its inception; I picked up on rumblings online within the first couple days. Sure, DDoSing Scientology websites and bombing their faxes is funny, but I really didn’t expect much else. Forgive my incredulity, then, when I first heard [...]

Random Downtown Pics

Posted by zhx on January 31st, 2008 filed in All, Photography

Highlight of the evening: You guessed it, a crazy person! When I first moved here, I made it a goal to get threatened, unprovoked, by a homeless guy. It didn’t really happen, unless you count the “Go with Dennis!” guy, but today my wish finally came true. A guy was sitting at a bus stop [...]

Winter from My Window

Posted by zhx on December 2nd, 2007 filed in All, Blog Entries, Photography

Winter so far has pretty much consisted of icy cold rains during the day and bitter cold and fog at night. This is a vast improvement over Wyoming’s winters, which normally involve a lot of trudging. I can handle Portland’s isolated attempts at snowfall if I never have to trudge anywhere ever again. Don’t miss [...]

Some Snapshots

Posted by zhx on November 5th, 2007 filed in All, Photography

There’s a park about six blocks from my place with a soccer field, walking paths and a big pond with fountains, waterfalls and a bridge. Well apparently all the waterfowl in the area like to hang out there and the other day there must have been 300 assorted birds, mostly ducks, on this pond; it [...]

Portland Skyline

Posted by zhx on October 23rd, 2007 filed in All, Photography

This is the first shot I’ve taken since I’ve been here. Well, actually it’s a bunch of shots, which I’ve stitched into a panorama. It’s cliché; on weekends there are dozens of photographers shooting from the exact area I shot this, but I needed to get my camera out of its bag. I took a [...]

Photo

Posted by zhx on September 6th, 2007 filed in All, Photography

Came across this in my Lightroom database, taken way back in May. Edited the colors a bit but no other alteration. Like all of my photos, I will probably hate this tomorrow, but for now I like it.

Fuck the Perseids

Posted by zhx on August 13th, 2007 filed in All, Photography

Attempted to photograph the Perseids tonight, but failed for several reasons. Should have done a little more research, I guess. Maybe next year…
