SotoKoto Magazine Travel Feature

July 16, 2015

Japan definitely has a yen (pun intended) for Portland. Lucky for me that means lots of photos of the fair city, most recently for SotoKoto, a Japanese lifestyle magazine that offers tips on leading a comfortable, sustainable and fashionable life. The goal of this lifestyle is balancing the coexistence of individual comfort with the sustainability of the entire society, so very Japanese. Plus, it is also an in-flight magazine of Japanese Airlines. Spent a week with a fabulous editorial crew hitting hot spots like Powell's City of Books, Mississippi records, Stumptown Coffee, Spin Laundry Lounge, and the universe that is McMenamins. Always interesting to see how Portland is viewed by other countries and always fun to see my pics in an international publication, never gets old.
