Portland Riverfront: Minimally / by Masumi Taguchi

Yes I'm late to blog.

As always. The following are my memories from visiting the cherry blossoms with my friend Lydia at the Portland riverfront. 

A question that I tend to hear people ask is, "How sharp is it (the image)?" when taking a picture. Lately I have been purposefully taking photos off-focus. Checking sharpness can be valid and important, but it reminds me of what I find more important. 

The questions I usually ask myself when taking a photograph is, "What feeling do you want to emit?" The interesting thing is that I have been more satisfied with images that I chose to not put in focus. 

I hope to see these blossoms again. On a side note, I just sent out the images from my visit to Assateague Island on Friday. Can't wait to receive the images back & show you the beauty of the land, of the horses.
