What are the possiblities in this fair and whimsical city of Portland, Oregon?

I'm packing up my Tacoma and heading to downtown PDX on August 14, 2006. Things have finally fallen into place for me to get out of here with a couple thousand dollars and start over again in a much cooler place. If anybody has any job possibilities or housing ideas, please let me know!!

I've finally made my new personal website...

Model Search
I've also got a new Lumix FZ20 digital camera on the way! So I'm back in the game. Any models in S. Cal. interested in working with me, please drop me a line. I want to move away from the 'posed' thing and into very sexy, subtle, artsy, atmospheric, smokey, dreamy, surreal, un-posed, more natural photographs with weird angles and strange lighting.

Drill winds through the silent failings
Clasp gears through with crimson tears
Until the trailing roses swell
And fortune claims another trail
Another tale too long but fearsome
Another snowfall shields roses
Silent failings crash more than fissures
Silent failings wend away no more......

I was actually smack dab in the middle of a tornado yesterday, believe it or not. I was sitting at my computer when the wind and rain started getting stronger and stronger, then things started to fly by out the window. It lasted about 30 seconds and wasn't a huge midwest kinda twister, thankfully. Living in so. cal. all my life I've never seen a 90mph wind before, but now I have. Anyway, I survived, there's only some fallen fences in the backyard as damage. The cats survived but were a wee bit freaked for a while.

I know I have to worry about fires and earthquakes, but now twisters....... So. cal is getting more and more dangerous by the day......
