my disabled bus
Just one moment from my four-hour commute to work Monday. My first bus showed up, but it was full. The next one was full. Then none came. Then I walked over to Greenwood Ave. and saw this one, but it's chains had broken off. The men in orange are the magical chain restorers, oft noted in legends.

spindly snowy trees
Another in the Snowpocalypse series. This is one of the only, if the only, pedestrian streets in Seattle. And it lasts for one block and they let cars on it for deliveries (which explains the tire tracks). In Pioneer Square.

sidewalk railing in the sun
After several days of rain and overcast the sun made a glorious return to Seattle Thursday. I shot this with this cool little lens called a Lensbaby. Dumb name, but amazing to shoot with. It's hard to describe, but the barrel of the lens is a rubber bellows, like those large format view camera you see with the cloth over the head of the photographer. You push and pull the lens like an accordion to focus, but it only focuses on a small area of the frame. You control what's in focus and what's out of focus. You can also bend the lens up and down and left to right to create these distorted motion blur-like effects.

Red - PCNW - Assignment 2
This is red (obviously). I was having trouble with red until I remembered that I associate red with Dutch design (That may have something to do with the White Stripes, whose whole visual style was taken from the Dutch, and whose second album De Stijl, was named after a Dutch artistic movement. It then dawned on me that I was just a few blocks away from the Seattle Public Library, designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas. The library with the Red Room. Lightbulb! This is the result.
Yellow - PCNW - Assignment 2
From an assignment at Photographic Center Northwest, where I'm taking a class this fall. The assignment is to photograph something that represents colors of the rainbow, while using a white balance that gives the image a cast of one of the colors. It's not necessary to have something of the color in the photos. This is yellow. I wanted to use the sun, hence the deliberate backlighting.

Lighthouse and wheel
In the Fun Forest at Seattle Center. For those who've never been there, the Fun Forest is this fading relic from the 1962 World's Fair. It's an amusement park, of rusty, peeling paint sorts, that takes up a good portion of the Seattle Center grounds. It's the kind of place that people flock to on weekends in the summer, and at other times it's a ghost town. Very Scooby Doo, you can also hear the voice of Casey Kasem.

Alley behind the palace
Reflected window light in the alley behind the Palace Kitchen in Seattle. I saw the light from about a block away. It came from a building with these amberish windows, which gave a nice warm to the brick building across the alley.
Stairs
These are the stairs leading from Pike Place Market down to Post Alley. I liked the curve of the railing and the way it leads the eye down to the bottom of the stairs. The man walked into the frame by accident, I like how he is in alignment with the post.

Wells Fargo building
Geometry in downtown Seattle. The Wells Fargo building, I think, is considered to be an example of Miami Vice architecture (whatever that means, but I wrote it) from the 80s. I have grown to appreciate it despite its earthtoney color, which is why I converted it to black and white, among some other retouching, although not as much as you might think. I do like to look at this and imagine it's not a building at all.
