I showed up to photograph these two artists, musicians & friends of the Fort, 2 hours earlier than scheduled on a recent Sunday morning. Samuel wasn’t home, Hannah was enjoying her Sunday. My mistake in timing was met with smiles, magazines, ginger tea, and an invitation to creep around their incredible shared house in NW Portland at my leisure. I did so, and now I think I’ll show up 2 hours early to every photo appointment. It was such a lovely insight into the world of these two talented musicians called The Woodlands.

Over here at the Fort we don’t think of ourselves as The Selby or similar, but we do like their work. And so, here we are, inspired by The Selby, showcasing some of Portland’s finest musicians.

In honor of these two living artists, I’ll let their images do the talking, and for once, I’ll keep my comments to a minimum! But can I just say, these guys are so talented it’s almost sickening. And they’ve a new EP coming out in March! Listen to the Heavy Hands Remix, let it enrich your ears, and then buy two of their albums. One for you and one for your mother. Perfect soundtrack for image scrolling!:

These two are so lovely in the frame. Their promo for their music video for Summerland shows a bit of their personality and awesomeness. Check it out:

I can’t get enough of their Heavy Hands Remix, and I’m basically holding my breath until their new album is released, which is very soon. Pre-order here!
