My current go-anywhere-everyday camera is a 17-year-old Nikon D3000 with the extremely light compact DX 18-55mm VR II. This Nikon has the amazing 10.2MP CCD sensor that nobody would put in a camera today!

Shot in the early morning sun, the Historic US Customs House in Portland Oregon built 1898-1901. No longer used by the feds, also seen as 'Portland Police Station' in the TV series 'Grimm.'

Stopped by Porsche Studio in NW Portland yesterday and after 2+ years it looks as good as ever! It was nice to see customers socializing in the library and taking advantage of the espresso bar. Also, there was a fantastic 1956 Porsche 356 A on display, built at the Stuttgart factory for racing!
