I love coming to Portland to sample a hidden gem. The new restaurant Kir is one that caught me off guard. It’s a nice little place to wind down with a generous glass of wine and a plate full of cheese in the evening. The owner Amalie has a great establishment going there. It was great watching her interact with customers with an infectious smile. The sun finally broke through the clouds in the evening lighting her face as she cleaned after some guests.
The LA Times gave me an assignment left over at the end of the day. It was interesting to say the least. I was walking around to photograph an overall of the Wilshire Restaurant and Bob Saget (Full House & Americas Funniest Videos) asked me not to photograph him. I didn’t recognize him at first but told him I wasn’t going to take his picture. He told me to pester the restaurant for some free food and later introduced himself to me in the lobby and apologized for potentially ruining any pictures. Nice Guy.
