Construction Wall

Wall surrounding the construction site on Capitol Hill. Rather than plain plywood it is nice to see artists were contracted to liven it up.

More views of the water sculpture in Cal Anderson Park on Capitol Hill. If they enlarge I encourage you to do so by clicking on each image ( I cannot tell if they will enlarge until after I have finished the posting. I presume it is a WordPress quirk. )

Three film images shot in 2006 at the Volunteer Park Conservatory (Seattle) in May , 2006. While I am in the process of through the 500+ photos I took the past few days in New York I thought I would share some items from the archive.

I’m not sure if the tagger was attempting to incorporate the legitimate #2 into his/her work. At any rate I don’t get it?

Trendsetters here?

My quest for understanding a trendsetter and where they may currently reside is still ongoing. I doubt a ‘trendsetter’ would hang out in this location. Can Graffiti

Conservatory Flower

Since we are still waiting for Spring in Seattle I thought I would post an image from my trip to the Conservatory a few weeks ago. The temp today is 46 and it is gray and raining-not the kind of conditions that make for good outdoor images. Besides, I don’t think my D80 is waterproof. There is a pattern in many of my images of flowers/blossoms. Sometimes I will use flash, but most of the time I try not to in order to get this dreamy, soft quality. Plant details are really cool, but I also like to soften the appearance.

Obama Poster in Window

Poster I saw in an apartment window. I am wondering how he is handling, in private, the monstrous mess left by his predecessor? He seems strong and focused. The last eight years nearly brought this country to the brink, I believe. I hope he can pull us back from the precipice.
