Because nothing beats arriving for your wedding at the Grotto in a stretch Hummer. This little scene was too good to pass up. The lens flare was an extra bonus and unexpected due to the fact I was using a Lomo LC-A, which does not offer through-the-lens viewing. On that note the LC-A is the 79th camera tag I have added to my collection. This day it was loaded with my first roll of Ferrania P33, which became my 112th film tag. Both of these numbers are pretty under-reported but I have only been tagging camera and film types for about 5 years now.
Anyway, tonight was the monthly Grid meeting and we were sharing March's Grid - J12, which included both The Grotto and Rocky Butte. Another tangential note: the Portland Grid Project is coming up on its 30th anniversary. Milestones. The group wants to plan some type of cool exhibition of the three decades of work but that is a task all itself.
Closing note: I am pretty impressed with Ferrania P33. It seems a bit tamer than its slower P30 sibling, but that may be due to more accurate developing times. Dunno. Too early to tell. But first roll results looked nice.

While many landscape photographers spend a lot of time chasing the light, I tend to prefer smaller, intimate subjects in soft or overcast conditions. Although I sometimes wonder if that's just because I live in a wet, cloudy place. Whatever the case, I'm not immune to the charms of the big view, particularly when it looks like this. Not for nothing is Arran known as 'Scotland in Miniature'.
