I seem to rely on Carmi’s Thematic Photographic these days to remind me to post to my own site, ignoring the damn thing until I suddenly remember that he has likely—unfailingly—updated the week’s assignment.

Portland is generally pretty reliable in its winterly ways: Grey skies and light drizzle, followed by rain, followed by heavy rain, with a chance—maybe—of not so much rain later in the week. Every so often there is the sun, and blue, and clear. And sure, we may or may not get a few days each [...]

Carmi’s theme this week is “sweet.” I’ve devoured my fair share of sweet in the last six days, but I haven’t photographed any of it. I did, however, shoot this BMW M3 a couple months ago. I was on my way home from work and the sun was in that good place, and I wanted [...]
