KOIN Center — Portland’s pyramid. One of the most recognizable landmarks of the #portland skyline. Also rocks some fine eating establishments and coffee shops.

The quality of the light earlier this week was mesmerizing. Like the sun made the air literally glow.

Well OK, it’s one of the top “pop up” markets (meaning everyone completely sets up and tears down everything in a day) in the United States which is open year-round. I think that’s pretty awesome. Plus lots of great scenes of traversing downtown Portland in the fall!

Essential Life with Jared is a vlog series all about Portland, the Pacific Northwest, and the philosophy of essentialism. It’s about finding your own way and never walking somebody else’s path. It’s about living a life that’s most meaningful to you.
Thanks to Epidemic Sound for the background music.
Plus shoutout to the Portland Radio Ponies for their awesome appearance on the Portland Streetcar!
The October light and Autumn leaves in Portland drive me wild. 🍂🌞🤩

Radio Tower at Council Crest
I love looking at this tower from down in the city. Always seems friendly!
All the places a car can’t go make the Pearl District a joy to walk. I’m always on the lookout for those hidden paths and courtyards when out for a stroll.

It’s always a photographic pleasure when I’m able to capture that magical moment when multiple modes of transportation align within a single frame.
Apparently this is the face I make when I’m out scouting for good portrait locations and I decide to take a selfie with a “model pose” for full effect. 🤓😝
So you can take the Portland Aerial Tram up to the OSHU complex near Stonehenge radio tower, which I knew, but what I didn’t know is you can veer right as soon as you get off the tram and walk along an AMAZING patio area that overlooks the whole frickin’ Willamette Valley/Portland area—cafe tables and all.
Oh I’m coming back up here, no doubt about it!
