Last week, I participated in a contest called PDX Squared! I was randomly assigned a square quarter mile of Portland, along with 99 other photographers given their own squares, with five wild squares interspersed throughout! With 21 hours of shooting time, we were to submit five images for seven different categories, and the judges would very quickly judge through all five hundred images live.
Needless to say, I crashed and burned, but I still like the work I put forth!

The last picture I submitted is omitted since it contains and is focused on a readily-identifiable license plate and I don’t wanna get in trouble, so I’m adding a second-choice pick instead.


I had noticed the website crunched some of my text, so I went back and fixed the formatting!
Okay, but I’m just curious what a “marooooo…” is?
It’s the sound turtles make as they fly through space! And as language evolved, it’s also come to describe turtles themselves.
I’m a maroooo. 🐢
Welp… in this game of life, thou asketh certain Q’s, and thou getest certain A’s.
And that’s how that works. 😅
