In June of 2015 I had the pleasure of documenting and photographing the Portland Timbers Army at Providence Park in downtown Portland, Oregon. It was a brilliant evening on the summer solstice – filled with singing and celebration as the Timbers beat the Houston Dynamo 2-0. Here are a collection of images from that story:
