My favorite image



This photo-montage was created a couple of years ago using a photo of Mt Hood and a cherry tree taken at David Douglas High School, which is right across the street from our apartment. When you come out our front door, you can see Mt Hood looming over the roof of the high school. Very "Portlandian." So I cropped out the backgrounds of the mountain and the cherry tree, slapped 'em together on a sky-blue background, and airbrushed a happy cloud in, adding the caption "Home Sweet Home," in the font Arid.

To me, this image just breathes "Portland." It's so fresh and springy, you can almost smell the blossoms on the tree. Portland Chamber of Commerce, could you use a new marketing image??

Makes a great souvenir! Go get yours a www.cafepress.com/feelgoodgraphix
