    About the Book

    Edit

    I first came to Portland in 2006 and moved to the city
    in 2008. Although I was working on oral history book
    projects at that time, I immediately began walking with
    my camera in various neighborhoods throughout the
    city. This intensified in 2017 after finishing a book on
    Studs Terkel. This portfolio includes pictures taken
    between 2006 and 2016. Hopefully, I will soon produce
    additional editions for each of the following years
    leading to this, the year of the pandemic.
    My friend, Charles Erickson, equates my street portraits
    to Studs Terkel interviews. I’m not sure that they are as
    rich as the conversations in Terkel’s books. Hopefully,
    the stories of the individuals whose photographs I make
    come through in their pictures.
    The images included in this book were taken mostly in
    downtown Portland. In addition, I took pictures at
    various festivals and political events. Finally, my wife
    often exclaims that my photographs make Portland
    look diverse. And that is the vision I want to share.

    Alan Wieder
    Portland, Oregon

    Street photography began for me over 45 years ago in Columbus, Ohio. Since that time I have taken photographs in Asia, Africa, Europe, and throughout the Americas. Most of this work has been near my homes in South Carolina, Cape Town, and Portland. Recently, I’ve been privileged to study with master photographers Bruce Gilden, Peter Turnley, David Alan Harvey, and Constantine Manos. Their teachings have both expanded and focused my work. I try to capture spirit through the eyes of the individuals I photograph within the context of their settings
