Old Port:Portland, Maine.

The day after Christmas Lei and I drove to up to Portland, Maine to take photos at a wedding of a friend of the family. We were able to check out the Old Port area of Portland before the wedding and were quite pleasantly surprised at what we found. Apparently, it is one of the most successfully revitalized old warehouse/port areas in the country and the the cobblestone streets are layered with chic shops (each with its own unique hanging wood sign) and an abundance of eateries: soup kitchens, lobster houses, wine bars, and we even found a creperia to catch a bite at. It was quite fun taking my new 35 mm lens for a little work out around the streets and it is certainly a place I would like to return.
