North Head Lighthouse

Thought I would dig into the archives today. These photos were taken a few years ago using my Minolta X700 and scanned into the PC. The location is the North Head Lighthouse at the mouth of the Columbia River on the Washington side.

Patchwork

On Albina St., a young man is scraping, patching and painting the side of an older building. The paint on the building was lead-based. I passed my concerns to the fellow up on the ladder ( ‘Shouldn’t you be wearing a respirator?) and he didn’t seem concerned. Also, the stuff he was scraping off of the side of the building was falling directly onto the sidewalk. Seemed like he could have had a tarp or something to catch the lead-based paint? I guess I should just mind my own business? Smart Car……Not so smart young man.


Hitchcock and a Brooklyn Subway Station

A view of the F Train, I believe, at the 7th Ave. station in Brooklyn. Much like Alfred Hitchcock inserting himself into his movies, if for only a brief moment, I have captured myself ( Mr. Bluestar2012, formally speaking ) in one of these images. In the background is the irresistible palette of  the graffiti artist, also known as a ‘building’. Photos were taken on a Sunday morning so that is why there is an obvious lack of commuters.
