I have 5 images from last year's Portland Swap Meet on Classic Street Rods, a site maintained here in Portland and promoting car art, custom rods and the like. I'll be submitting some from this years once I edit them this weekend.

Indian Wells - 2010

Hong and I spent a nice 1/2 week down in the Coachella Valley -



Was of course hot ass hell but great fun. I'm not sure about the overall Palm Springs area - like a Vegas version of living in the Desert. We went for the tennis and regardless of the rest of the area, the Indian Wells tennis facility is amazing. It is simple, functional and a great deal for this quality of tennis and the amount you can see during week 1.

Matt Gross

Once again, Matt Gross. Matt is a great writer and feature finder for the NY Times 'Frugal Backpacker' column as well as stellar father and parent in panic mode. He always seems to find an unusual angle or partially controversial tone and theme to his work and is often one of the more heavily commented writers online.



We met with some of Matt's friends in San Francisco's Bernal Heights neighborhood for some wine at a place that had a kid friendly happy hour. It was great to enjoy a glass of great wine and be surrounded with not only peers, but children having a healthy experience with an inevitable fact of life - drinks and bars.

MG

1930's? MG. New Dehli, 1992.

It was 110 degrees so the alleys and streets were practically empty during the day. Everything is concrete and metal, so the heat would rise up from the ground giving the impression of walking on a hot tin can. Dogs slept. It was great for photographing, because the normally restrictive crowds of kids and gawkers were now lazily watching me photograph without interfering.

Haiti Photos, in the mail

I'm happy to say that I finished framing and packing the 14 photographs that I sold and tomorrow will be sending them to everyone / delivering anything to people in Portland.

I really want to thank Harry Brown for giving me the idea and the courage to put my stuff out. Also, everyone that commented on the images and gave me positive feedback and support.

In particular, I'd like to thank:

Abbas Mottaghi
Heather Griffis
Josephine Chun-Wood
Mollie Jones
Madeleine Go
Colleen Alspaugh
Brent Garlow
Pat Rockwell
Vincent Vallejo

With their support, as well as Adobe's matching, I was able to donate $2500.00 to the World Food Bank.

Cheers,

Kirk Jones
