This must be Beach Week. Our first week of Spring in Seattle has been more like Winter so my mind has been drifting off to warmer climes.

A shameless plug: I will have a table at SpringFest (an arts and crafts fair) this Saturday. Live near Seattle, stop by.

On the LES: what I was shooting when Kenny Banks jumped into view. Some of the music fans going between Piano’s and The Cake Factory, off Ludlow St. There were about five different venues within a few blocks of each other that people could watch bands perform. Until 6PM daily the shows were free.

Look Up

You can tell the tourist season has descended upon Seattle when the Market is overrun with camera/phone camera bearing humans aiming at the same object. The Alaska Cruise Ships ( currently, a total of 3 ) disgorge their passengers on Fridays for a frenzied weekend of sightseeing and by Sunday afternoon the ships slowly parade, one after another, up Puget Sound and to Alaska. Tour guides with pink umbrellas and stuffed animals. DSC_4828-001DSC_4810-001 DSC_4812-001 DSC_4813-001 DSC_4814 - Version 2-001

Man with Hat-1971

This posting is a total departure from what I would normally do. In 1971 I travelled to San Francisco to visit with a friend who lived in East Oakland, across the bay. I would spend my days walking around San Francisco with my 35mm Agfa camera. These images are scanned from a small print that has spent 43 years in a photo album. You can get a sense of the year by the type of cars and dress that you see. The man with the hat is part of a bygone era. IMG_0002 - Version 2-001 IMG_0002-001
