Hi Everyone,
Portland is the northern terminus of the Willamette Valley. We have the same
local weather system during winter and early spring, that Lewis and Clark
complained about. Lots of rain and overcast.
I use a watertight case, but shoot under the protection of a building
overhang. I always seem to find one doing urban work. And you can't beat a fast
35mm lens with ISO 400 film.
I always keep a Minox GT35 and an old compact bouncehead Sunpak flash with me,
whatever other camera I'm using.

I'm in Portland as well- I remember it being sunny yesterday...
I wear my camera over my shoulder, then a large weather-proof coat over that.
Leave the coat open and pull the camera up to shoot.
If it's really nasty out, I wear the camera around my neck and zip up the coat
and unzip slightly and pull the camera up to shoot.
Wear a large brim cowboy hat to shelter the camera from the rain - use a lens
hood on the lens instead of a filter for protection
Don't use wide guitar style straps.
In a pinch, a disposable hotel shower cap can make a great camera raincoat,
but I prefer the techniques above.
