I am a lifelong Oregonian. Born in Klamath Falls, moved to Portland in 1998 to become a music photographer. OK fine, engineering school, but the first one totally sounds cooler. I work an office day job to keep the lights on at home, but I spend a lot of free time documenting Portland and its amazing music scene and wishing that was my day job.
