This is a video of the hippie life in downtown Portland, Oregon. Well, not really. I tried to just paint a picture of what a day looks like in Portland. Pioneer Courthouse Square, chess, free love, the Willamette River, diversity, freaks, Saturday Market, the Park Blocks, Burnside Bridge . . . etc. I shot it on a Saturday. I used my Canon t2i (some call it a 550D), my cheap nifty fifty lens (Canon's cheapest lens - 50mm f/1.8 II - about $100), my manfrotto tripod, and . . . that's it. No filters, no sliders, no stabilizers-nothing but my cheap supplies. I found a free song, "She Dreams in Blue" by Josh Woodward, on his album "Not Quite Connected." Post-processing done in Sony Vegas Platinum trial version (I told you I'm cheap).

spent a week in Portland,loved the city,but the homeless were everywhere.
I'm 35. Born and raised in NE Portland. I try to stay away from downtown Portland. I can honestly say that I do not like the way Portland has evolved. Sad :-(
I'm originally from Portland and moved away back in 2008. My family and I are moving back this year. Thank you for this video, which helps me to reminisce of a fond time.
Thank you so much for sharing this. It takes me back to my days in Oregon. 💚🌲🐛
Portland was a Beautiful city Thirty years ago. It's angry and corrupt and am less. these days I wish their was a way to rehabilitate the Homeless.
+Paul Mayta ya, i think its still a beautiful city and one of the most unique in the world but there is really a big homeless factor that they need to solve. but at the same time lots of the homless seem to adapt to it and roam arond the city happy doing there own thing with no judgment such as people playing street music or chess
blame the democrats
Paul Mayta It was Not beautiful 30 years ago there was even more shit on the street than there is now
It was beautiful before they let all of the mentally incapacitated beings out of the institutions
Trying to choose between Portland and Durango Colorado, to visit. I've never been to neither, but this video shows so much of what I love. ... thank you!
The dream of the 90's is alive in Portland!
i miss my home so much stuck here in cali cant wait to be on the waterfront or parkblocks
Portland is like a mini San Francisco, colorful, whimsical, with an endless supply of drugs.
God it really is the early 90's in Portland. So weird... it feels like I'm back in grade 9 again watching this video.
Going to Portland tomorrow, for the first time.
After watching several similar Portland Travel videos, this is my favorite.
Maybe it's just the music.
Thank you so much for your Portland videos. They make me homesick. The song for this one is wonderful and matches the video very well.
Thank you for this. It was beautiful
Thanks for the positive comments. I love Portland and the Sat. Market. Great place to visit on the weekend . . .
It just seems like such a chill happy place. Hope one day I'll get to live there.
Good stuff , thanks for the perspective.
Wow it was so different than the usual and so amazing!!! Love it!!!
Great video. I love Portland.
This is so beautiful and emotion-invoking. I teared up! The slow-mo and the music really add a different dimension to the mix. Just beautiful.
it use to be just like this. a beautiful family town. now its awful. we moved from there about 6 yrs ago. we had lived there about 45 yrs.now we love southern Oregon.
Wow.. I really like your work ... you do wonderful things..
Wow, loved this vid. Visiting Portland in Feb. Thanks!
one amazing thing in portland, and living in oregon i can say its almost everywhere where if there is a large tree where you want to build something, dont cut it down just work around it. in downtown portland you can see more large oak and maple just sitting in between streets then you would see in all of LA county, its better then a concrete parking lot
Oregon is a nice place. The people are very nice.
you captured the perfect picture!!! love it. I shared it !!!
Fantastic video. Well done. I hope a lot more people see it.
I was hanging out, studying art in Portland in the early seventies. What a wonderful "summer of love" feeling in town then. So glad to see that the spirit lives on...
Yes . . . I agree.
@PreachinJesus thanks for the comment. Coming from you (I have checked out your work) that's a real compliment!
sooo, looking forward to my trip there next month especially after this video. Nicely done!
Great video! Beautiful music!
@vadimv thank you! I enjoyed it. Can't wait to do another one sometime.
Great Vid! Nice cuts, and great song choice!
You did a good job on the video capturing the heart of the city
stumbled on this... outstanding.
Great video , I live in southern Oregon and have family in Portland that we visit regularly . We always visit Pioneer Square and Saturday Market.There is a lady that sells fleece clothing at the market that is second to none.
Thank you. You'll enjoy it. Be sure to visit Stumptown! Best coffee around.
you out-did yourself! its exceptional in its honesty ...would ya do one for Seattle lol!! Great job!!
thank you
It's definitely rainy. But I came from a much more rainy place so it seems pretty good to me.
Thank you! This video was shot with the Canon t2i; I now have a t4i. The lens was the ubiquitous Canon 50mm f/1.8 II. Edited with Sony Vegas Platinum (the trial version no less). The music is from Josh Woodward. All free. You can find all this information in my description. Thanks for the positive comment!
what a great representative of my home town Thank you.
Very soothing and pretty.
thank you!
great video, just amazed
I have always wanted to live in Oregon, hopefully one day I will, So. California is a constant summer that never ends and very dry. I love colder weather and places where it is green. Such a great Video!
the title should be portlands homeless.
Hmmmm. I disagree.
🤣🤣🤣
thanks I appreciate the comment.
Nicely done.
In a few months, I'm moving to Portland from Asheville, a small eclectic town in Western NC. Your video makes this old hippie even more psyched for the move. Great post, and excellent post-production work, too.
grilled cheese sandwiches 1 dollar
7tacoma6 woah, I can get grilled cheese sandwiches for only $1 in Portland??
***** yes and becus yur a woman i can give u more then that......
Like what?
I hope it's more grilled cheese
Very nice, this is the 3rd video of Portland I've seen like this. What is it about this town that gets these beautiful artistic pieces.
thank you
I think that's the late, great Elliot Smith on vocals. Love this city. Love the pageantry on the streets. Love wondering if anyone in this video can sing one complete verse of "Like A Rolling Stone" and love the possibility that, unlike any other team in the NBA this year, the Blazers have a real shot at dethroning the Warriors.
If you are at all prone to depression, I would not advise you to move here. In the winter, you hardly ever see the sun -- dark days with almost constant rain. High suicide rate!
+Lin Ward Wow..thanks for the warning! Is that what the same for all of Oregon? I'm planning on moving within the next few months, away from Upper Michigan, & I don't wanna move somewhere like that..
Lance Rambert So..I guess I shouldn't move to Oregon at all then? I don't want a place that's cold during the winter, & I don't want a place that rains a lot..
Lance Rambert I don't have the money/time to go there :/ I have to save up for when I officially move.. But the weather just doesn't seem right for me..so I think I'm crossing Oregon off my list. Do you know about Washington though? Is it even colder there?
Lance Rambert Everybody keeps suggesting California, & California is NOT on my list....
Lance Rambert Cosmetology school.
Very cool video - Everything looks better in slow motion.
Thanks. Much appreciated.
Live here, and this video is highly accurate.
You captured Portland perfectly. I miss it so much
"Will wrestle your mom-in-law." Is that what that said? Best sign ever.
Yeah, pretty funny
thank you!!
Nice vid, heading there this weekend from Boise.
#1 rule for making a Portland documentary
Always open your video with cleanest homeless people you can find, and visually imply that it means "culture"
I'll have to look up "ubiquitous" time to learn a new word in the new year, ha! I will check out Josh Woodward, , really nice music. I wish you prosperity for the new year in whatever form that takes. This video is so nice and professional. I really enjoyed it.
Watching this during pandemic made me emotional. Seeing all those people on the streets without a mask. It sounds so impossible atm
the sad music in this video makes it feel sadder than it is. Portland is pretty happy and full of life but yes it is rainy
heading there tomorrow for the very first time. unfortunately it's going to be in the upper 90's!
Very nice video! This is Portland!
thank you!
damn and i thought seattle was bad lol... i have a new appreciation for my city. but give it time and seattle will be on par
FANTASTIC use of slow motion, man.
Wow,and I'm going in about a week from now. Everyone looks either sad, or board.
Enjoy!
I am falling in love with Portland thanks to Grimm, and your videos make me want to go and live there even more, great job! congratulations :D the song is also perfect too :)
Simply genius!
gonna be moving there from vegas
can not wait!!
very nice work
thank you sir!
Now in Santa Cruz, CA. Been here all of 2 weeks - it's a wonderful place, wonderful vacation... when am I going home? Oh....
thank you!
The one thing this video shows (that I've heard in other videos) that I really like is that people in Portland aren't afraid to be different and be themselves. I hear people say "Portland's weird" and if that's the case, I need to move there ASAP. Being the type of person to admit to being "strange", it's always weird for me living here on the Eastern Shore of Maryland knowing I only have a few "weird" friends. Awesome video, dude. I'd actually consider moving to Portland if I had the money. :)
thanks for the comment.
No problem:)
Pretty chill typical day
Yep! Right in the description! ;)
Love this video of my favriout city in the usa
That was really beautiful and so well done, what kind of camera do you have, takes lovely video. What do you edit with? Where is the music from? ha! alot of questions I guess, very impressive though.
Portland is a beautiful place with a lot of beautiful people homeless or not!
beautiful vlog
I am planning on moving to Portland in late 2013...thanks for posting, :)
Just wondering is that you at the 1:04 mark with a camera in hand ???
Are there any decent Jazz spots (clubs) in Potland? Also, how would you rate the Antique district, if any? Thank you.
very impressive i really enjoyed watching it , do me a favor here bro if you're ever consider doing another video for portland , please do some more focusing on PSU campus , PSU buildings , goose hollow area , some night life will be appreciated as well , thanks in advance , you ROCK
I agree. I should probably change my description.
..."total beauty under six minutes". its official i'm addicted to this video. the people, the buildings, the streets and even the song played is beauty that feeds distant dreams...
Very nice.
I really like this video :)
homeless is one word to describe it
Nice filmography....great editing and audio
beautiful video. i'm in florida, and this makes me miss my adopted hometown.
i like portland. and this is real life in portland. this is nice vedio.
I really enjoyed it, TY...M♡M of 5
Nice Job! No doubt Portland is going to be the number 1 Eco and smart city for excellence in America.
What's the bedbug situation like?
thanks.
I came across this video because I read that Oregon was a nice place, then I see this video and I wonder how can people and a place become so sad ....looks like the 1970`s with hippis on drugs and no people looks having a job, noone looks healthy... Hope there will be better times..
To be fair you are looking at downtown PDX and the video was only focusing on a few select places. The water front, Pioneer Square and in the area Saturday market is held by the Skidmore Fountain. Oregon itself if much larger than Portland and Portland is much larger than that small section between the college park blocks and the waterfront where this was shot. Search again. Also, if you were to play uplifting music to the same video it wouldn't seem quite as sad.
Just because this video covers the homeless population of Downtown Portland, doesn't mean that the state in a whole is full of 1970s hippies on drugs that are unhealthy and sad.
Hippies on drugs but no psychedelicia and color. Just meth and heroin
Skin trade, gangs, murders, alcoholism, junkies..heavy occult scene snobs surrounded by the beauty of Oregon.
Yes...so stay back in Alabama.You don't belong here in Oregon.
Wow you are good, be proud of your self!
I love this! It captures everything I've seen in Portland! The mixture of classes, humorous donation requests, ahhh...just everything! Beautiful video!
Thank you SO MUCH!
I've heard the placed labeled predominantly as weird. How stereotypical after seeing this with my own eyes. This is an advanced civilization. They appear weird because they are experimenters. Obviously progressive. The people are engaged in interesting hobbies. The community is harmonious and engaged.
A civilization can be easily judged without even meeting or living in it just by examining the infrastructure. Things like bike pathways on roads and pedestrian bridges over roads- it says the people care about each other.
But on top of all this, humor is a sign of intelligence and social presence. When humor is a part of public interactions, this reflects hugely on the society as a whole.
An intriguing place. Impressive. It must be that these 'weird' places are in fact the generators that sustain the human species- but the conservative minded, and too the haughty liberal, write off as silly. If I was viewed as silly, I would just act more silly.
Sage Mantis What you've seen from the video is Portland in a nutshell - it's not over-exaggerated in the least. And I'd say that's a good thing.
Thank you!
Sage Mantis right... a bunch of smelly jobless hipsters playing shit music on a fucking sidewalk is obviously a sign of an advanced society
I feel bad for the beautiful state of Oregon, people have ruined it with "progress."
Anthony Gonzalez = IDIOT = Republican
@@najbrzi28 No, he's speaking the truth. Portland is a shithole. This video doesn't show the aggressive panhandlers, the OD'ed heroin junkies strung out in the street, the hundreds of homeless tents and accompanying trash heaps, the bums shitting in business doorways, and of course the relentless parade of ass-clowns protesting SOMETHING every other week.
And Portland is just the festering epicenter. The same cancer is metastisizing throughout this state and infecting everyone with "progressive" bullshit politics that raise taxes, kill jobs, and curtail freedoms. And at the same time, our Democrat supermajority in the house and senate could fix the state by delivering a balanced budget to the governor. Think they'll do that? Fuck no. It'll be more business-as-usual as they seek to further bloat the bureaucracy in 2019.
@@js3217 I haven't been to Portland for a long time but it has declined a lot since 1996. I passed through on the interstate in 2007 but didn't stop. I agree with you and why I cringe at libtards moving to my native red state of Arizona, mostly from Commiefornia. I lived in Spokane and Walla Walla and I love both of those still largely conservative towns but the regressives, mainly in Seattle, are ruining the state. I'd move to idaho but not back to Washington State.
@@constatinexipalaeologus507 I'd LOVE to move to Idaho, but the wife will never go for it.
najbrzi28 Bruh Portland sucks ass.
I loved it, my favorite city
I love it too! My favorite BIG city! ;)
