Week 1 in Portland, Oregon

Today marks my first week in Portland.  Let me tell you some of the things that have happened so far..

From the moment I got her I have been taking photographs of the city and life in the city.  I've explored and hung out with Ashley on a regular basis. We both have plans to bring JailBreak Photography to life up here in the land of ports. (More on that soon)


Great photos of me by - Ashley Anderson




I met up with my friend Jonathon at a couple of his gallery exhibits. He does fantastic work. He bought me a few beers as he schmoozed onlookers and as I took photographs.

This weekend some friends from Southern Oregon came up to see Coheed in Cambria at the Roseland Theater. Because of my, move and the expenses of moving, I was unable to go.. I thought.. Ashley said she would buy my ticket for me to go if I paid her back.. Well, they were sold out.  There were scalpers.. But we had no cash.
Out of random chance, the guy in front of us in line overheard and said, "You guys need a ticket?" and I was like.. "Yeeeah.."  Then he whips a ticket out of his pocket and gives it to me.
Thank you Thomas.  That is just some fantastic icing on this cake of awesome.

So, I saw Coheed last night, being unfamiliar with most of their music, I was truly enjoying their performance. They are extremely talented and am looking forward to listening to them now.  Apparently they played the full first album in its entirety.  ..Along with Acoustic sets.  3 Hour show.

My house is set up for the most part, as well as the photography room.   Now I just need models and people who want me to photograph. ;)

Wonder what this upcoming week will bring.
