This is a video of the hippie life in downtown Portland, Oregon. Well, not really. I tried to just paint a picture of what a day looks like in Portland. Pioneer Courthouse Square, chess, free love, the Willamette River, diversity, freaks, Saturday Market, the Park Blocks, Burnside Bridge . . . etc. I shot it on a Saturday. I used my Canon t2i (some call it a 550D), my cheap nifty fifty lens (Canon's cheapest lens - 50mm f/1.8 II - about $100), my manfrotto tripod, and . . . that's it. No filters, no sliders, no stabilizers-nothing but my cheap supplies. I found a free song, "She Dreams in Blue" by Josh Woodward, on his album "Not Quite Connected." Post-processing done in Sony Vegas Platinum trial version (I told you I'm cheap).
Music - "She Dreams in Blue" by Josh Woodward. Free download: joshwoodward.com/song/SheDream...

I'm 35. Born and raised in NE Portland. I try to stay away from downtown Portland. I can honestly say that I do not like the way Portland has evolved. Sad :-(

+Paul Mayta ya, i think its still a beautiful city and one of the most unique in the world but there is really a big homeless factor that they need to solve. but at the same time lots of the homless seem to adapt to it and roam arond the city happy doing there own thing with no judgment such as people playing street music or chess

The one thing this video shows (that I've heard in other videos) that I really like is that people in Portland aren't afraid to be different and be themselves. I hear people say "Portland's weird" and if that's the case, I need to move there ASAP. Being the type of person to admit to being "strange", it's always weird for me living here on the Eastern Shore of Maryland knowing I only have a few "weird" friends. Awesome video, dude. I'd actually consider moving to Portland if I had the money. :)

I've heard the placed labeled predominantly as weird. How stereotypical after seeing this with my own eyes. This is an advanced civilization. They appear weird because they are experimenters. Obviously progressive. The people are engaged in interesting hobbies. The community is harmonious and engaged. A civilization can be easily judged without even meeting or living in it just by examining the infrastructure. Things like bike pathways on roads and pedestrian bridges over roads- it says the people care about each other. But on top of all this, humor is a sign of intelligence and social presence. When humor is a part of public interactions, this reflects hugely on the society as a whole. An intriguing place. Impressive. It must be that these 'weird' places are in fact the generators that sustain the human species- but the conservative minded, and too the haughty liberal, write off as silly. If I was viewed as silly, I would just act more silly.

one amazing thing in portland, and living in oregon i can say its almost everywhere where if there is a large tree where you want to build something, dont cut it down just work around it. in downtown portland you can see more large oak and maple just sitting in between streets then you would see in all of LA county, its better then a concrete parking lot
