On Capitol Hill. Reminds me of the apartments in the movie ‘Singles‘, which was filmed in Seattle. I don’t think this is the actual location, though.

Part of the original P-Patch project in Seattle, this garden thrives in a very dense urban area.

Progress

The place where the back hoe is parked used to be a white house where a lawyer’s offices were located for many years. The image of the wreckage of a commercial building is what used to be Bank of America, on Broadway. From what I understand they had a lot of trouble destroying the vault, which is comforting. I think many people will think this is a fitting end to a Bank of America facility.

Construction Wall

Wall surrounding the construction site on Capitol Hill. Rather than plain plywood it is nice to see artists were contracted to liven it up.

More views of the water sculpture in Cal Anderson Park on Capitol Hill. If they enlarge I encourage you to do so by clicking on each image ( I cannot tell if they will enlarge until after I have finished the posting. I presume it is a WordPress quirk. )

Conservatory Images

Three film images shot in 2006 at the Volunteer Park Conservatory (Seattle) in May , 2006. While I am in the process of through the 500+ photos I took the past few days in New York I thought I would share some items from the archive.

Cactus and More

Hydrangea

I think these two flowers are hydrangeas?? Again, scanned into the PC from a film print. I’ve tried to articulate a difference between shooting film vs digital. There are probably many differences, but one that strikes me is that film images sometimes have a softness about them. I guess with Photoshop anything can be altered to look like anything. Outside of the act of editing I think this softness is something that strikes me. I guess the same point has been made between vinyl recordings and digital; the vinyl recordings have a ‘softness’ to them, if I were to choose one word to explain the difference.
