Jeff Perry @20thcenturycamera has been battling cancer this last year and last month his home and workshop was destroyed in a fire. If you have the ability to help him get back to work as he brings old cameras back to life, his Venmo is posted in the next slide. @jeffrey.who in Old Town, Portland, June 2019 🇺🇦💔🌎💔🌏💔🌍💔🇺🇦 #earth #america #human #family #photographer #people #documentary #street #photography #mediumformat #4x5 #camera #maker #repair #bnw @ilfordphoto #film #blancoynegro #blancetnoir #Hēiyǔbái #siyahbeyaz #白黒 #shirokuro #blackandwhite #istillshootfilm #photojournalism #pdx #portland #nw #northwest #oregon 190612 FP4 1927 Graflex RB 1902 Bausch & Lomb 5x7 lens https://www.instagram.com/p/Cqawv1Uremh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If we look at the arc of history I wonder if we are really making any progress? Science, technology and the understanding of the universe seems to move forward, but our societies seem to be struggling to progress beyond the fear and destruction that were common two thousand years ago. “So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” Jonsie Love Dog, Portland, February 2018 🇺🇦💔🌎💔🌏💔🌍💔 #earth #america #human #family #photographer #documentary #dog #love #portrait #photography #dogsofinstagram #schwarzweiss #blancoynegro #blancinegre #bnw @ilfordphoto #ilford #mediumformat #film #blancetnoir #白黒 #Hēiyǔbái #siyahbeyaz #shirokuro #blackandwhite #pdx #portland #nw #northwest #oregon #photojournalism 18025403 HP5 1953 Rolleiflex 3.5 Xenar https://www.instagram.com/p/CqYcAP3JPhB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In the six years that Edd has been playing his sax at Portland’s Saturday Market, I only stopped to talk with him this last weekend. He was working and I didn’t want to interrupt or distract him, but it was a bit slow, and he paused between songs. I asked him about his sax, and he told me it was a 1961 Selmer, the same model played by John Coltrane. I told him “My Favorite Things” and “A Love Supreme” would be great to hear on a beautiful sun filled day….

I’ve always loved wandering with my camera in the street, and it was even better when I carried one of my kids on my back. In the early 1980’s I started photographing @sanfranciscopride and I think one of the reasons people allowed me to make their photograph was I carried my three year old daughter on my shoulders. In the 1990’s my daughter held on to a belt loop, and with my son on my shoulders I think we provided a little entertainment.

Wasn’t “Kindergarten Cop” a crazy idea at the time; a comedy in 1990? Thirty years later the most powerful nation in the world has to hire Security to protect preschoolers.

Third time’s a charm. One more of Joshua from five years ago. It’s strange how the last few years seemed to slip by as if I were sleepwalking. My grandfather took me deep sea fishing when I was young, and after spending an entire day rolling on the oceans surface, that night as I tried to sleep I still felt the ocean rising and falling beneath my bed. The next day I was fine, and the feeling of being at sea had vanished. I wonder if we will wake soon, and when we do, will we have a thorough reset and actually make things better for everyone?

I often wish I could find people I’ve met and photographed. Especially the creative and joyous ones (hoping some of their positive energy rubs off on me) so it was a great surprise and pleasure to find Joshua beneath the cherry blossoms on Wednesday. Its been five years since I found him in front of Powell’s, and his exuberance hasn’t diminished. @ukodus.8 Joshua at the Japanese Memorial Park, Portland, March 22, 2023 🇺🇦💔🌎💔🌏💔🌍💔🇺🇦 #earth #america #human #family #people #documentary #artist #portrait #photography #street #photographer #mediumformat #4x5 #camera #bnw @ilfordphoto #film #blancoynegro #blancetnoir #Hēiyǔbái #siyahbeyaz #白黒 #shirokuro #blackandwhite #istillshootfilm #photojournalism #pdx #portland #nw #northwest #oregon 230338B FP4 1947 Graflex Super D Kodak 190mm 5.6 Ektar Photograph © by Jim Hair 2023 https://www.instagram.com/p/CqOf31ivr12/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I rarely make photographs of people smiling, but somehow that is not a possibility for Joshua. We met just outside @powellsbooks and I thought he should be made Portland’s Ambassador of Happiness Joshua at Powell’s, Portland, March 2018 @ukodus.8 🇺🇦💔🌎💔🌏💔🌍💔🇺🇦 #earth #america #human #family #friend #documentary #street #portrait #creative #artist #photography #mediumformat #4x5 #camera #bnw @bergger_official #film #blancoynegro #blancetnoir #Hēiyǔbái #siyahbeyaz #白黒 #shirokuro #blackandwhite #istillshootfilm #photojournalism #pdx #portland #nw #northwest #oregon 180308 Pancro400 1927 Graflex RB 1902 Bausch and Lomb 5x7 Photograph © by Jim Hair 2018 https://www.instagram.com/p/CqN_85GLEOU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
