about
Fifth & Main is written by Pete Wright.
I’m a photographer and producer living in Portland, Oregon. I’m a faculty member at Marylhurst University in Communications teaching marketing, public relations, and popular culture. I’ve been a freelance creative since 2007 and have worked for clients such as HealthNet, Cadence, Teibel, Inc, The Lotus Center, Lorenziano ImageWorks, and the Project Management Institute focusing on crafting messages that help to tell their stories using imagery, language, and design.
About fifthandmain.com
This site has been my home on the web since 2001. It has evolved over the years to house thoughts and stories both personal and professional. Today, it is a place for me to test ideas and concepts, to stay connected with colleagues and, and play. At any given moment, there’s a good chance 25% of the site is simply plum broken. I apologize in advance, and hope the other 75% piques your interests enough to come again.
This site uses WordPress for publishing and currently sports a modified version of the Graph Paper Press theme “Modularity” for the design.

Other tools
Photography
I shoot the Nikon D3 and have been a member of the Nikon family since the day the D3 launched, moving on from 15 years with Canon. I’ve been playing more and more with the limits of the iPhone camera and rely on it daily for capturing inspiration and ideas for future work.
Design
I use a MacBook Pro notebook for all my work, Logic Pro for audio production, and Aperture with Photoshop for photo organization and post production. In addition, I use TextMate, CSSEdit, and Acorn for additional coding and support, ScreenFlow for screencasting, along with Evernote and OmniFocus for work management.
