I’ve been taking photos for as long as I can remember. I’ve been lucky enough to have always made my living in photography either working in the photo processing end of the business, as a professional photographer and now as a camera trainer for Panasonic. Thank you for looking and hopefully coming back for updates.
To see more photos check out my website at www.marktoal.com or my Lumix image site at www.mtoallumiximages.wordpress.com
Also check out our blog of Portland restaurants at http://alphabetofrestaurants.wordpress.com My email address is: mtoal@earthlink.netAll but a few of the photos on this blog are taken with Panasonic Lumix cameras. The Lumix GX1, GF3, G3 and TS10 are my main cameras.

March 3, 2012 I normally don’t write anything but a brief description with my photos on this blog, but I wanted to acknowledge and thank everybody who looks at my blog, on this occasion of reaching 20,000 hits. It means a lot to me that people are checking in to see what’s new.
Today’s photo represents what I love about Portland. The sun coming out on a winter day, the train painting on the wall, the casual way the woman on the left is looking at me, the bike rider on the right and of course a great coffee shop all say Portland. What a great place to take photos. Thank you.
