Would something interesting or newsworthy >be happening in front of these facades? Not much luck so far! In that very city, Portland, Oregon, is a wonderfully photogenic city. I was at an AP digital workshop a couple years ago. A group of five of us - imagine, five news photographers descending on one subject! :-) We actually all hung back and watched as the one with the camera had fun. In about 15 minutes we produced two pictures that they put on the AP wire. A girl on a pillar in a park blowing bubbles and something else. Can't remember what. Not anything compelling newsworthy by beltway standards, but fun pictures for inside page fillers on slow days. :-) Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time. - -H.W.
