Rip city. Bridge city. PDX. Stumptown. Portlandia.

If there's one thing Portland might have more of than nicknames, it's neon signs. In one feverish evening I attempted to capture as many of these glittering gems as I possibly could.

Many signs were must-sees and plotted out on a map weeks ahead of time. But some of my favorites in this collection were completely unexpected, surprising me much like the city itself does every time I visit.
