Cold Skiing

Portland on Ice

Ice covering part of the sign on the side of the Portland Police Headquarters on Middle Street. The low temperature for tonight and part of tomorrow is expected to be around 0 degrees (Fahrenheit). 

Sunset Over Snow

These photos are from last weekend, taken at Standpipe Park on North Street. I couldn't pick just one to share, so I figured I would give you all three. 

Goodbye 2012

Another year has come and gone in a hurry, so it goes. I want to take a moment to thank all the visitors of this blog this past year (that includes you) and people who have followed my photography elsewhere online.

As of this evening, PortlandDailyPhoto.com has had over 73,000 unique visitors this year, which is up year-over-year. That number is especially pleasing considering how many people view my photos on my other sites (Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, 500px, Tumblr, etc!) and never actually visit this blog.

It's been a been a fun year with a few firsts, such as my first First Friday showing and my first time having photographs in a few local magazines. I even managed to have a photo as a weather background graphic for the local NBC television affiliate (WCSH6 - Portland's News Leader), allowing me to sneak my photography into thousands of households every week for a few seconds.

Clockwise from top - Downeast Magazine, CBRE The Boulos Company Office Market Survey, Portland Magazine, WCSH6 Weather Graphic, Mainebiz Book, and another Portland Magazine photo. 

And as I usually do at the end of each year, here is a selection of photos, one from each month, taken over the last year. You can click the name of the month to view the archives from that particular timeframe:

Also, special thanks to everyone who has supported my hobby over the past year by purchasing my work over at Corey Templeton Photography, by buying a copy of my 2012 calendar, or by contacting me to license my photos for commercial or editorial use. See you all next year!

Bridge Over Frozen Waters

The little old bridge in Deering Oaks Park during yesterday's snow storm.

Decorated

From Christmas Morning, a patly decorated post office box in Post Office Park. The red post office box was a gift from our sister city, Shinagawa (Part of Tokyo), Japan and I think it has been in this spot since the park was created.

Winter Wonderland
