Blue and White Scooter

When I'm on my lunch break I walk around Northwest Portland and take pictures of things - especially scooters.

Yellow Scooter

Red Scooter

Sunny Day, Sky-blue Scooter

Scooter, Mural, Portland

Who are all these scooter-driving people who insist on parking by artwork and murals?  I am forced to take pictures of them.  Notice the bicycle in the painting. 

Yes, It's Another Photograph of a Scooter

I found this scooter walking around the gritty streets of NW Portland.

White Vespa, Melbourne

Snow Day

The snow melted off pretty quickly, and this Vespa seems to have weathered it well.  I took this photo right outside where I work in NW Portland, where I've had my eye on this Vespa that has been parked on the street recently.

Still Life with Scooter

I took this one in Rome.

There I was, just walking along down an ally in Rome. Scooters were everywhere, as they always are. If there's space to park, there's a scooter. Sidewalks, pedestrian pathways - everywhere they don't get run over, they park. The juxtaposition of the ancient and the brand-new is beautiful.

I'm a bit fascinated with scenes that appear to be partly grayscale and partly color. I assure you that the look is natural to this image - I didn't spot color it at all.

I have a 40" x 60" print of this if anyone's interested.
