Everyone in Portland has noticed and appreciated the Times’ laudatory attention to all things Portland over the last few years.  I’m not sure who it has benefited more.  We sent them Stumptown coffee and hope.  They’ve sent us creative talent.  I myself certainly enjoyed a nice run traipsing around Oregon photographing “all the news that’s fit to print”.

“I’m a photographer with the New York Times”.  It goes without saying that that feels good to say.  What doesn’t feel good is knowing that both the Oregonian and the Willamette Week show more contractual respect for their photographers.  And so with mixed feelings I have to say good bye Times.  I’ll sign off with images from my last assignment.  http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/19/realestate/commercial/19space.html?_r=1&scp=3&sq=real%20estate%20intel&st=cse
