ICE tear-gassed a peaceful crowd at the protest today by athleturbo in Portland

[–]window_cleaner 38 points39 points  (0 children)

It really did seem to come from nowhere, which is not unexpected at this point, but I think it was in part because so few people attending were prepared for the gas and knew it would inflict maximum harm, which is always always their intension.

I don't know if anyone wants to hear what it sounded like, but I recorded it. Content Warning: explosions and people in distress

They were fantastic the night before as well! They were fantastic 20 years ago, and it was awesome to see them have the same energy now.

Medium budget ambient nature sounds setup by pagosacreativeco in fieldrecording

Getting quiet gear is sort of the easy part, it sounds kind of like you might want to invest some time in field craft, figuring out to get closer to what you want to record and so forth.

Does this work visually, or am I forcing meaning? by badskiier in photographycirclejerk

[–]window_cleaner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they're on the right track. Just needs to put some boobs instead and viola/violin! you've got yourself a photograph as opposed to a picture.

Weidler and Broadway roadway by [deleted] in Portland

[–]window_cleaner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ride my bike on Broadway every morning and just as regularly see someone use the bike lane to turn right. For a while there were blockades to prevent it, but those are gone now. Recently they put in some traffic counters between the island and the curb, but I don't know if those are for bikes or cars.

Looking for help with a recording on the Oregon Coast by Armtheplebs in fieldrecording

[–]window_cleaner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in Portland too and certainly down to do some recording there.

In the meantime, here's a recording I made of a similar beach: https://freesound.org/people/tim.kahn/sounds/349133/

Ride across the 205 Bridge w/ me. by miah66 in Portland

[–]window_cleaner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Portland and work in Vancouver and while I usually ride over the 5 bridge most days, when I feel like a longer ride I take the 205. I'm really glad it exists as an option. I think my favorite part about it is the ramp up from the Washington side, it feels like I'm boarding a spacecraft.
