The Eye On PDX series continues with Melanie Flood, who talks about psychtrance, pandas, chance, creative process and Portland friends. Read the full interview on Blake’s blog.

Flood: “I generally dislike separating photography from a larger art scene, but I feel that distinction in Portland much more than in New York.  There are a lot of Portland based photographers and few spaces to exhibit their work alongside other mediums, and even fewer spaces that have a collector base. It creates a line between artists and that of hobbyists, amateurs and straight photographers.”
