Walk to Fabric World (...what's left of it)


on North Lombard St., Portland, OR
with my wide-angle (22mm) plastic camera
the Vivitar Ultra Wide and Slim ~

I was walking around this 'landmark corner,' looking for interesting perspectives on the scene. The thing I liked about this shot was the way the wide-angle incorporated the crosswalk signal and filled that sky-space over the building at a complementary angle. I found the image, then I waited another minute for the lights to cycle, so it would say 'walk' when I tripped the shutter.

I still get nostalgic over that old-style crosswalk signal, the ones before they were all converted to the open-hand/walking-man signals.
