Wooden Steps
Wooden steps, entrances to the back side of the old Rainier Brewing Co. building in Georgetown ( neighborhood of Seattle ).
Van
Clif Bar van spotted in NE Portland.
Closed
Fermé, French, for closed. A shop in Georgetown on Sunday morning.
Dredging out the East Cofferdam
They are still digging out the river bottom on the East cofferdam on the 14th St. Bridge Project in South Park. I wonder if I am the only one photographing the project, from beginning to end?
Georgetown
One of my favorite places to shoot, Georgetown, where artists can still afford to rent the space they need to practice their craft.
Multi-Faced Pig
A little on the creepy side.
Peppers
Today it is peppers and pigs. This was shot in film at the Pike Place Market. Most vendors were patient with me, but one I had to bribe one less-than-friendly young woman by purchasing some tomatoes.
Curious
Most urban chickens I have run across are quite shy. This chicken, along with his coop-mate, saw me walking by and literally as if they were dogs, came trotting up to the fence and were not only curious, but hungry. I fed them some crackers and it was like they were ‘begging’ as dogs do. They hung around the fence till I ran out of crackers.
Urban Fur
Spotted last week between Prescott and Alberta St.’s in Portland. My guess would be this possum got caught somewhere in daylight that was not good or too far from where it usually hangs out in the daylight hours. My apologies to possum-lovers, but to me they look like big rats.
Break Time in Post Alley
Brick-paved Post Alley serves as a breakroom for a restaurant employee.
Between Prescott and Alberta
One of my favorite houses in Portland. Located between Prescott and Alberta St. at 19th ( I think ). The detail on the house from the dental molding to all of the cornice and trim work is just wonderful. Even the chimney has some interesting detail to catch your attention. Last week I walked by the house and noticed that the owner had repainted with a different color scheme, which I am not sure I like as well as this one. I have been looking at this house for over 5 years and still have not mustered the courage to knock on the door and ask if I could look inside.
Call Box
I was nearly arrested taking this image. A Port of Seattle cop saw me with my camera pointed at this highly sensitive device and wanted to know what I was doing and why. I tried to explain the artistic merits of the look of the call box and how that might translate into something interesting to view. He looked at me like I was from the Planet Zeon and asked me to move along. I don’t think he was interested in debating those ‘artistic merits’.
