Ben and Jerry’s, possible the best ice cream ever. I loved the decorative aspect of this store, from the facade to the tall narrow entrance. It was immaculate inside and out and a lot warmer than outside! It reminded me a of a style of shop that had survived to keep its “look” in tact from decades before. In fact much of Portland is like that.

When photographing architecture or buildings that have amazing street appeal, try to keep a strong perspective in the frame. That is, keep the walls straight up and down. A tilt shift lens will help here with the larger of buildings. These kinds of lenses literally tilt off the face of you camera body. Sometimes called perspective correction lenses, these correct that collapsing look of the top of a building getting skinnier as it towers into the sky. Usually these are expensive lenses, so hire one for a day first before you shell out a few thousand dollars.
