I realized the other day that I have a bunch of photos from the past few months just "lying around" on my laptop, so I'm going to do a couple posts worth of them. Somehow between the holidays, the snow, and the Sam Adams media spectacle, I just forgot about them.

Enjoy.

I have a few other ideas floating around, too, like a no-holds-barred Crap Architecture series. That could be exciting. Plenty of material to work with as of late, unfortunately.

Graffiti seen yesterday in the alley between Vancouver and Williams. Usually I lean towards a happy mix of fatalism and misanthropy.

This caught my eye in the jumble of newspaper racks outside Powells last week.
