Urban Renewal in Portland's Pearl District
Portland Oregon's Pearl District is the fastest growing area of the urban city core. Housing towers, fine eateries, and startups expand rapidly and mix with classic old buildings with grit and character. This mix of old and new make the Pearl a fascinating subject for urban photography.
