This is a small gallery of my brief encounter with Lars Topelmann, a talented Portland-area photographer who specializes in advertising. Lars and crew were shooting material for Gerber and Segway on location in Pettygrove Park, a 'pocket park' outside the headquarters of my employer in the South Auditorium District. I was just making my daily hike to the bus stop, and was drawn to the scene - and the Canon gear. :-)

Only after a little trip through Google did I realize the scope of Lars' work. Visit these sites:

My thanks go to Lars and his crew for letting me observe.
