Walk into a small town watering hole and strike up a conversation with a local…who would you want to meet? These are the characters and places we’ve been introduced to through our ongoing Meet the Neighbors campaign with Travel Oregon.
Happy almost-New Year! The new year always seems to arrive to us at Uncage the Soul about 25% planned, the rest an unexpected adventure. Sure it’s a tad uncomfortable, not knowing how the months ahead will shake out (or how the bills will be paid …), but the truth…
I love the challenge of tackling a complex story that dismantles opinions and assumptions, my own included. My view on wildfire was informed by Smokey the Bear, Bambi, and a few years working as a wildland fire fighter. I’ve felt the “loss” of special places burned. For 100 years,…
“What haven’t we seen before” is a common question we ask ourselves when beginning a new project. That question was a big inspiration for our recent “Tech Town Portland” video featuring 11 of Portland’s hot tech companies. When originally asked to showcase these companies work spaces in a new…

Childhood memories: we all have them. Some of them playful, some of them embarrassing, some fond and others not, but we can all jog the memory bank to bring them back to the projector of experience playing in our mind. Think of the sights, the sounds, the faces and…
