Vespa & Crow: #2
I’ve shot this Vespa before, from a different angle. Thought it was worth a second visit.
For viewers interested in the SXSW event.
If you’re a fan of listening to live music and doing who knows what in a city that makes you choose your own adventures, then there’s a good chance you’re a fan of SOUTH BY SOUTHWEST. After we endured a 46-hour trek from Toronto to Austin via train last Spring, the minute we landed into the home of the Longhorns and the somewhat unauthorized birthplace of independent sound, our hearts sank into our chests, and the neverending roller coaster of new music began. The weekend festival prides itself in main attractions, making SXSW the local town band, but the one you will forever love. Dusting off this year’s eclectic lineup injected with hip hop, garage rock, punk, R&B and electronica, here’s our picks – aside from favs Titus Andronicus, Santigold and Fiona Apple – for artists to tune into.

Fading Vespa Sign
Although nearly faded away, this is a sign on the old Vespa Club in Georgetown. The painting is supposed to show a woman ( circa 1960’s) sitting on a yellow Vespa scooter.
Between Two Buildings
Between two buildings at the old Seattle Brewing Co. is an old walkway that probably wouldn’t meet code today.
Mike’s House: Project Completed
For the past two years I have been following the renovation of this house in the Sabin Area of NE Portland, Or. It belongs to a guy named Mike. Mike and I have talked a few times during the course of the renovation, but I have no idea what his last name is. I believe this house belonged to an old guy that I saw once a few years ago, a relative of Mike’s wife. The house was inherited and nearly a tear-down; it was just a horrible mess inside and out. I don’t know how the old guy survived the winters in this house. The house is even more spectacular on the inside. I have peeked in a few windows, but have not seen Mike since he completed the interior. He did everything within his power to keep the integrity of the original design, even down to the shade of yellow he chose for the exterior. If/when I get a chance to walk through the interior I’m sure Mike will allow me to take some photos.
Georgetown
Apparently Georgetown had its own record label, for advertising purposes only.
General Offices
This building is in use today or has space to lease. I think it may have been the location of the offices for the old Seattle Brewing and Malting Co. Location: Georgetown, Seattle.

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.
