The iconic VE Day image rendered in mural format. Pretty amazing! Also, a street scene from what looks like 1945 Manhattan.

An odd shaped building, a splash of color and a little graffiti.

Reference Nov. 4th Posting

Here is a similar image, totally unedited/cropped, to the posted “mystery image” of Nov. 4th. The colors on the bubble are a little more vibrant in this image, but also the background is more diverse and I was looking for a nearly monochromatic background. Anyway, mystery solved and I thank all of you for playing along with me for a couple of days!

This is the answer to the mystery image I posted a couple of days back ( Nov. 7th ). I got the type or quality of the previous image due to the overcast day. The cloud cover provided a totally gray background and by focussing on the edge of that particular bubble I got the image I did. This guy was amazing to watch! I was with him for about 45 minutes, talking and laughing and just having a great time as a kid. The children that did get to watch him-he ran out of magical bubble ingredients just as I was leaving- were totally thrilled. It is a pretty simple idea with just two sticks, a piece of rope and the liquid mixture. The trick and talent lies within the manipulation of the stick and rope device and then always being mindful of the wind direction. Shooting through a bubble with people on the other side of the bubble created a cool effect, I think.

Not an Abstract Image

This image was taken outside in Central Park. By itself, it looks like something I conjured up in a photo editing program. Actually, there was little editing involved with this image. In a future posting I will explain what I was shooting. For now, I just wanted to post the image to let it stand on its own or be viewed without the back story.

Razor Wire and Graffiti

Adjacent to the 8th Ave. Park is a scrapyard that is protected by fencing, razor wire, guard dogs, cameras, etc. My bank should have this much security!

8th Ave. Park: South Park, Seattle

On September 19, 2012September 19, 2012 By Fred KingIn Art, buildings, Nikon D7000, Park, Seattle, Urban DecayLeave a comment

A postal-stamp sized park in South Park that few know about as it is mostly a light industrial area. Kayakers use it to launch themselves into the Duwamish River and then either travel the river itself or head out into Elliott Bay. This is the spot where I stalked a blue heron. I posted some of those photos last week.
