Red Hook in B&W

Was in the process of moving some image files off of the MacBook and into storage on a portable hard drive and noticed these two images so I reworked them a little and, voila! Location is: Red Hook, Brooklyn, one of my favorite places to walk around and shoot in NYC. Two weeks prior to Hurricane Sandy this is what I saw.The black, cast-iron shutters you see are really amazing and functional. DSC_9074-001 - Version 2

Shadowy Interaction

Spotted in Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle recently.

My last post from home as we leave early Sat. for Ireland. I will make every effort to post while traveling. I’ve never considered this a travel blog, per se, but it might become one for a short time. On another informational note: After I return from Ireland I will need to have a conversation with the salon where my next show is due to start in September. A new wrinkle in my schedule has come up this past week and I will be out of town for a few days that first week of September. I hope to be able to get everything in place by no later than September 5th. I am working with both the Labor Day holiday as well as the artist who has the August slot. For the Seattle followers of this blog I will get something definitive by the end of Aug.

Scrapyard Closed

There are quite a few metal scrapyards along the Duwamish River here in Seattle. This one, adjacent to the 8th St. Park ( actually a micro-park) closed recently. Now they have the daunting task of cleaning up the grounds.DSC_5065-001 DSC_5067-001 DSC_5070-001 DSC_5071-001 DSC_5072 - Version 2-001

Signage

After this week my posting may be a bit irregular. The following three weeks I will be on the road in Portland, OR. and then onto Ireland for 10 days. Posting from Portland is fairly easy as there is Wi-Fi at my daughter’s home; Ireland may be a bit more spotty, but I hope to post from our travels there as well ( via my iPad Mini), depending on availability of free Wi-Fi spots. I won’t be taking my Nikon, but between my iPhone and a Samsung St150F digital camera I hope things will work out. After we return from Ireland I have ten days to put the finishing ideas together for the September show I have at Capitol Hill Hair. I’ll be posting a notice about that as well as map and directions on both the blog and my Facebook page.DSC_5132-001
