Not a Typical Day

On April 3, 2015 By Fred KingIn Architecture, Elliott Bay, Nikon D7000, Seattle, Thoughts1 Comment

According to a recent Seattle Times article, Seattle is experiencing an influx of new residents, based on drivers license applications. Most of those incoming humans are coming from California and Texas. Go figure! My plea: please don’t move here! We have the worst ( or nearly the worst) traffic congestion, more gray and rainy days than you can calculate using Chisenbop and a political structure of rule by committee, which means nothing gets done, to list just a few reasons for not moving here. WARNING! The image you see in this posting is an aberration in the normal weather pattern!

The Coverup

I’ve done many posts on tagging, graffiti and street art in general. I thought it was time to give some space to the coverup effort that sometimes follows.

Grafitti and Gentrification

On March 7, 2015 By Fred KingIn Architecture, buildings, Nikon D7000, Seattle, Urban Decay2 Comments

Just an observation with no provable data: As neighborhoods decline and are on the cusp of gentrification, graffiti/street art goes on the upswing. If true, there is probably a multitude of reasons for this trend or cycle. These images are from the same area north of Seattle U., on Capitol Hill.
