Up High St and around the corner

I’ve worked remotely (from home) for 15 years now. I will never work in an office again. My home setup is ideal and I love it. Plus, offices were a huge distraction for me and my work suffered.

But… I need excuses to go into Portland to take photos. Coffee shops are loud, typically have terrible wifi, and you’re obligated to buy stuff. However, my company pays for coworking spaces.

So I tried a coworking space for the first time yesterday and it was pretty nice! I found a comfortable couch, knocked out a bunch of work, hopped on a call in a closet, and ended the day in the center of the Old Port. People were in and out constantly, but unlike my last experiences in an office, it was quiet and no one was popping into my cubicle to ask a question or yelling “your mom!” across the room (yes).

This particular day I was rushing to meet my son for drinks after work, so I didn’t take any photos on the walk to my car. But I did grab the photos below on the walk to the coworking place and I’m excited about the opportunities this arrangement offers for capturing city life in the future.
