Rory O’Neil • Foggy Marquam PDX

Being an avid urban hiker and photographer, I spend as much time as possible out on the streets with my camera.  My favorite time for these pleasures is late at night when I have the city to myself.  I am delighted by the pedestrian, everyday scenes I encounter, especially when the streets are deserted.  I use my tripod and medium format mirrorless camera to capture these scenes and present them in photographs for the viewer to see in a new way or maybe for the first time, as I see them.  In gazing these works, I invite the beholder to join me in my “church”.
