When I started at Bullseye 25 years ago there were 20 of us. I knew everyone. I worked in the warehouse – between preparing export documents and other stuff (yep. My best day I packed 17 crates of glass – probably still my greatest accomplishment at BE)
“You want me to work where? Doing what?” – moi, circa 1985
Today there are over 120 of us. I am the Gallery Director. I hardly know anyone at the factory anymore. It makes me sad sometimes.
As the last post proves, I even – almost – miss noticing some pretty incredible artists who work in the belly of the bull.
Then someone sent me this link yesterday with the note: “New warehouse employee that is apparently an amateur photographer. I found this on his blog:”
Doesn’t look very “amateur” to me.
I love this one. And this one:It’s so ……Portland.
Welcome, Austin.
I don’t know you, but I sure like your eye.

I second the Austin compliment- and I added his blog to my read list – which is getting longer every day.
Love the specs!

Cripes, I’m not going to get any work done before 10 (AM) what with all the blogs I’m adding.
He is seriously good.

Sure she has–her glasses got shorter.

Ya gotta love that cowling on her sweater. It really puts the “turtle” in “turtle-neck”.

Would you kids go back to looking at Austin’s photography? It’s way more interesting than what I was wearing 25 years ago.
Sheeesh.

Austin is Tucson’s gift to Portland. His photography is not his only gift, just one facet. Treat him well or we’ll take him back.
