Tilikum Crossing
A new bridge in Portland, shot a couple of months ago from the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry.
Its called the Tilikum Crossing, and cars are not allowed on it.
Light rail, pedestrians, bicycles, city buses and emergency vehicles are allowed.
Overpass
Another shot from our trip to Portland a couple of months ago.
I don’t remember exactly where I shot this, but it must be at the east end of the SE Morrison Bridge.
We did have lunch at Hair of the Dog Brewing right in the same area, the beer was very good.
The next shots on the disc are of one of the dolls my partner carves, while we were lunching.
Fetal Position
When we went to Portland a couple of months ago we visited the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry.
One exhibit has a warning at the entrance for the squeamish and sensitive; a warning is appropriate here too.
You may not wish to scroll down to the third photograph in this post.
I found Beginning the Journey to be their most stunning exhibit.
It documents human prenatal development by displaying a long series of human embryos and fetuses from throughout pregnancy.
As their sign says, “the survival of these embryos and fetuses was prevented by natural causes or accidents”.
They have been collected from various medical universities and hospitals.
Above is a panorama of the exhibit, below are examples of signage.
At the bottom is a more detailed photo from near the end of the development timeline.
A Camera Gift
Here is main part of today’s roll of film from my 52 Rolls post – click on the link to see a bunch of photos. The rest of the roll is here on my blog at http://wp.me/p1R4lY-7fv.
Another new-to-me camera is tested this week, this time a Canon AE-1 Program. The camera was a gift from a friend and colleague. I saw the camera in use a few years ago on field projects in Gwaii Haanas; it probably even took pictures of me at work. In fact, I think it was one of those trips that was the last time the camera was used.
This film is a mystery rebranded expired no-name “colour print film” imported to Canada and packaged in the USA. I am assuming it was manufactured south of the border, and thus probably by Kodak. It expired at some unknown date; the cannister has a 1991 copyright mark so I guess that gives a maximum age for the film. It was quite difficult to scan.
The light for these tests was low and very flat. Not ideal, but it did allow me to test how the lens looks at f1.8. Of…

Yet Another Camera
I went to a party a couple of nights ago, and a friend that follows this blog asked “how many cameras do you have?”. I had to guess, +/- 10 since I have not counted them. Lots of small cheap and often nasty point and shoot film cameras.
Today’s post is the product of my latest acquisition, and while cheap to me it is not nasty at all. I was given this Canon AE-1 Program with FD 50/1.8 lens, which is why I can say truthfully it is cheap. There is a lot of information about this camera on the web, so I won’t bore you with the technical stuff this time.
I have run the first test roll through the camera – the light was awful so most of these pictures are not nearly as good as they could be. The rest of the roll is part of my 52 Rolls project and can be found in a post called A Camera Gift; that post includes a couple of nice pictures from the Ross Bay cemetery, more and better from the storm drain and some of my cooperative son indoors.
