Filming "Leverage" in Portland


At least I think that is why there was an upsidedown Cadillac in the middle of the street...

A few days later, I ran into actor Timothy Hutton in the lobby of my friend's apartment building. I heard that Harrison Ford will also be filming in town soon. A little Hollywood excitement comes to Puddletown!

Fun with Lightroom Presets









I found some presets that help you create different "looks" for your photos and applied them to a couple of photos I took at the Portland Classical Chinese Garden. My favorite preset is "Catalyst 48."
