K.P.W.

Now, I don’t think a lot of people really understand what that means so I’m going to give them a brief history lesson on the origin of K.P.W: It means Keep Portland Weird and the true Oregonians, the ones who wear Birkenstocks, ride in a Subaru, wear earthtones 90% of the time, these are the people that have this bumper sticker on their car.

When I first moved to Portland, I truly didn’t understand or realize the greatness of that meaning until I saw some of the ... how do I put this … very INTERESTING people that walk the beautiful streets of our fair city.

So my new little project is if you see anything in any city -- especially in Portland -- take a picture and send it to info@channingfrye.com.

We’ll give out a prize to the winner of the K.P.W. Award so that the INTERESTING people can be seen not only by you but by the world and they can truly, truly be appreciated.
