New Photography and Art Websites

So I have been interested in photography for quite a while, but only started taking pictures seriously in the last 9 months or so.  My Mother was a photographer when I was younger, though she now focuses more on her Chinese art, but I've always been interested in the medium and decided that I would pick up a camera and see what happened.  9 months later I decided to put up a photography site to let people see my work and so I thought I would post the link to it here, in case anyone is interested in taking a look at it.  I would love to hear your feedback if you have any, and my email is on the contact me link on the homepage.  www.nilehagen.com


The second thing I have been working on is a website showcasing some vintage magazine covers we got into the store a while ago.  They are beautiful examples of the Art Deco style and we have over 20 original Erte covers, if you happen to know who that is.  Most of them are available to be sold and generally on a frame to suit basis.  Please check out the site and let us know if you are interested in any of these beautiful, original pieces:

Longfellow's Books Named One of Portland's Best Places 2010/2011!!!

Congratulations are in order for us as we have recently learned that we are to be included in the new edition of Portland's Best Places.  We have been included 4 times in the last 9 years and this year it is particularly gratifying as we have been particularly dedicated to keeping the store clean, presentable and chock full of beautiful books and magazines as of late.  You can find the link to the new edition here:  Amazon.com: Portland's Best Places and we hope you will check it out.
