Just a Little Rain

Passing by the Portland Public Library on Congress Street on a rainy afternoon. Monument Square is partly reflected in the windows:

This photo is really just a snapshot taken while walking (it's been cropped) but I like the feel of it. The black and white really brings out the reflections also.

Morrill's Corner

These photos are near Morrill's Corner, which Forest Avenue runs through. I don't make it this far off the peninsula often, but I've noticed this building on Bishop Street before and though it looked interesting.

From Portland's Widgery Wharf on Sunday, a day much like today weather-wise.

Back Cove Trail

The 3.5 mile Back Cove Trail circles around  Portland's scenic Back Cove. It's one of the finest public spaces in Portland and here are two recent photos of it during high tide:

Portland Mayoral Election 2011 - Social Media Standings

As I mentioned in my last post relating to politics, this blog is not endorsing any particular candidate for mayor of Portland at this point. However, I made this little infographic showing the number of Twitter "followers" and Facebook "likes" of each official candidate's election page and want to show it off. Feel free to forward it along. I am, of course, still posting at least one photo a day here, but sometimes it's interesting to post about other things, too.

Photos for Food - September 2011

This post is to announce that Portland Daily Photo will be donating 1 cent for every unique visitor during the month of September to a local charity. It's not a million dollars, but it's something. The charity of the month will be Preble Street. Preble Street Resource Center is a well known local organization whose mission is "...to provide accessible barrier-free services to empower people experiencing problems with homelessness, housing, hunger, and poverty, and to advocate for solutions to these problems." You can read more about this organization at their website and I also encourage individuals to make their own donations to this organization or another of their choice if able. I will keep you updated on this project throughout the month.

Fine print - Portland Daily Photo (by Corey Templeton) will be donating 1 cent from each PortlandDailyPhoto.com "unique visitor"  (as defined by statcounter.com website tracking) during the month of September 2011 to Preble Street. The donation will be made at the end of the month. The donation is limited to $100. Additionally, the amount donated will be eligible for a matching donation from a private source.
