I'm replying to this topic so I can just check my post history if I need to. Thanks for posting these! Sorry I have nothing to contribute.

I may try to get this stickied :/ Took a long time and a lot of walking to find them but I think there are quite a few options.

Thanks for putting these up! I think i might have found a good place for my photoshoot
I recognize all of these places....I've lived in portland my whole life...

I want to say There is place on broadway, but they are mostly strip clubs.

ahha. great.
Weelll...I suppose that was inevitable. I'm not a Portland Native, so I'll probably dress up before con, and troll seattle for a place.

Ask the person with the Photo Sessions thread, that's stickyed, to add a link in it to here.

I like photoshooting at the streetcar station at goose hollow. It's a bit of a ride from conspace, but it's jsut a streetcar ride, no walking. It has some great industrial proppage, as well as some interesting bench/sculptures that are good props for photos. Also, there is a park not too far behind it. I stay with a friend in Goose Hollow, so this is a pertinant location for me.
I hate posting images to forums, but some good examples of the site are these...

I don't know if anyone else would like it, but we use it all the time. (obviously)
Also, I like taking shots in the streetcar. I have some awesome shots from in there. :D
More of a plus, Right next to goose hollow is Bellagio's pizza, which is really good and pretty tolerant of cosplayers.

i think fountains are great locations for photos
