Discovery
Excited to announce a new genus of tree:
Pascha Ovo Ligno
Indiginous to: Capitol Hill, Seattle.
Conservatory Flowers: Pt.II
Thought I would share a few more images from my annual conservatory shoot/visit this Spring.
Pump house at Volunteer Park reservoir.
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
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.
Capitol Hill
I did a post a while back on the area north of Seattle U., on Capitol Hill. The area is changing rapidly. The old, two and four story brick buildings are being replaced by multiple use structures of glass, brick and steel. Some sections are pretty run down and could use some sort of a transformation, but I wonder how much longer the older, brick style buildings will last.
ps: I stretched my free space allowed on WordPress to the max ( 99.6%) so this morning I opted for the premium package, with more space and some other bells and whistles. For example, I should be able to customize fonts, etc. which I think will be nice. More options for the page layout as well, so…..maybe it is time to give this photoblog a minor makeover.
pps: March 28th I will have a booth at Springfest, an arts and crafts event. For Seattle folks I will have as many prints as I can put together for sale. More details about this event in the near future.
No Entry
Spotted on Capitol Hill, just north of SU. The area north of SU is rapidly gentrifying. I have been trying to document the changes, but they are happening very fast. Will post more in the coming days, about this transition.
