Kurt Elling Jazz Concert

This would be my second concert throughout the year so far. My first concert was to go see Common & N.E.R.D live at the Cuthbert Amphitheater in Eugene Oregon; it was a great hip-hop concert that I have never experienced before. At a jazz concert, there’s hardly any pushing and shoving, but it is more of a friendly environment where you’ll see upper class people sipping wines and dressed up in their nice attires.

For Kurt Elling to have a gig here in Portland is a rare occasion. I’ve only known Kurt’s work on CDs and video clips on Youtube. When my little brother spotted an ad on the Portland Jazz Festival’s website, we couldn’t really deny this golden opportunity. We invited our friend Matt to join the night.

A Day In Portland

Posted In Travel 2 Comments

I have to say that it has definitely been quite a while ever since the day of graduation. I haven’t been able to travel back to Portland much these days, yesterday I decided to spend the entire day capturing any new changes around the school with my camera. Just for half a year and all of the new buildings in the area have already near finished. It’s hard to believe at this point that I actually stared at a strange place where I have always been commuting back and forth during school. I probably exaggerated or maybe it was just the feeling of being there again. There were a lot of expensive cars parked around the neighborhood. For some reason, the community in the Pearl District is getting wealthier and more developed everyday. Within the next a few years I don’t think I would be able to recognize this place again because everything changes so rapidly. If you get the chance also check out some my photos on Flickr as well.
