This week we saw… 1) What you had for dinner… 2) Killer trees! 3) Graffiti training […]

This week’s cover image was provided by resident Portland photographer John Ryan Brubaker. I ran across John’s photography as I was floating through the Mercury’s Flickr Pool. The cover image is part of John’s diligent, and inspiring Polaroid 366 project, in which he is out to take one Polaroid a day for a year. Just […]

This week the Mercury’s Flickr Pool grew to 104 members and we had two pages filled with new photos! Still no candid photos of Danny Glover!? I’m beginning to think that he and the elusive Sasquatch are roommates. This week in the pool we saw… 1) A potential candidate for an upcoming Mercury cover. 2) […]
