Fearless Critic PDX Cover Shot by CSS

Tuesday, March 9th - 2010

Have you seen the latest resource for PDX foodies? The Fearless Critic has entered the Portland dining market. No surprise to us…we are thrilled to have reviews written about our hometown eating spots at our fingertips. What’s really fun is our very own photographer, Kim Campbell, took a quintessential Portland pic for its cover.

The Fearless Critic is dedicated to brutally honest reporting. Their feisty local food critics maintain total independence from the restaurants that they review. They are reader-supported, not ad-supported which we think makes for appetizing reading. Buy The Fearless Critic Portland Restaurant Guide on Amazon and we’ll donate the 4% of the sale of your purchase to the Oregon Food Bank.

Let’s support our local restaurants and go out to eat tonight.

Snowed In Studio

Sometimes life catches you by surprise. Today we received the gift of a lovely snowfall in the late afternoon.

After rescheduling sessions and sending our staff home, Kim walked through the outdoor portrait garden and used a wide angle lens to capture the enchanting transformation.

Finally, here are two very happy boys…our sonTamaio and his pal Wiley.
