Fujifilm XT2 - SB Hopper

View from Magnolia

This is an old photo that I’ve always liked. I took the photo in Magnolia, a neighborhood in Seattle. Magnolia. Fujifilm XT2: 200 | f/8 | 1/125th

Anatolian Shepherd

Little Anatolian

I went to Monroe, Washington, yesterday to shoot some promotional photos for Beast Folk, a Seattle band. I loved the setting, a big creamery with tons of goats. I couldn’t believe how friendly they were. Marsha, the woman who runs the place, told us that they’re Swiss, and

Backstage Pass

Capitol Hill Artwalk

I made a little video about the 14 June 2018 Capitol Hill Artwalk: Queer Edition. The video is terrible; the Artwalk and the artists are incredible. I like walking around taking photos on Artwalk Thursdays, but I haven’t really gone into the galleries. Huge mistake. I’ve always liked

Behind the Bar

Cook Weaver

Yesterday I spent the evening hanging out with friends. They’ve both recently been out of town on vacations, so it was nice to catch up. We also had a birthday to toast. We started off at MBar. The view from their rooftop is impressive. I imagine it has to

On the Streets: Cornish, Rainier, and Lightroom

I took my Fujifilm XT2 and 10-24mm lens out the other day to get some practice with it. I think it’s a great lens, but I’m not confident with it yet. I think that anytime you get below 16mm with the XT2’s 24.3MP X-Trans™ CMOS III,

Blogging

Made the jump from WordPress to Squarespace

I’m in the process of moving my main website from WordPress to Squarespace. I wasn’t unhappy with WordPress. I just thought Squarespace was a better fit for me. One thing I’ll miss about WordPress is that it was easy to upload multiple images for a blog post

On the Streets: Mecca

I went to a show last night at The Vera Project [https://theveraproject.org/], which is located at Seattle Center. You know the area – think Space Needle. That little area is weird. I normally have a good sense of direction, but there’s something about that intersection at Warren and

Setback - could not get this Baby to work

I tried to load a roll of film into my Rolleiflex Black Baby. I failed. There was a silver lining, though. The coffee and scone from Analog Coffee [http://analogcoffee.com] were good. I’ve done a little research on this Rolleiflex. According to what I’ve read, it’s

Capitol Hill

On the Streets: Capitol Hill

I caught a show at Chop Suey [https://www.instagram.com/chopsueyseattle/] last night. After the show I headed to Lost Lake for a late dinner. It was ugly out last night, and I was pretty soaked when I walked into Lost Lake. I ordered a vegetarian BLT with avocado.

Fellow Night Hawk, fellow traveler. Get there safely.

Backstage Pass: Patrick Galactic at Whiskey West, 13 July 2017

Patrick Galactic [https://patrickgalactic.bandcamp.com] has a new fan. I wish he’d record Savior for a Day so I could get my hands on it. Took this photo at his 13 July 2017 show at West Seattle’s Whiskey West [https://www.whiskywest.com]. (I can recommend the

Chess

On the Streets: A Game of Thrones

Westlake Park in downtown Seattle is small, but it punches above its weight. It is frequently the site of protests, marches, and community gatherings. But it also draws people to its outdoor tables for lunch breaks, ping pong, and chess. I have always loved seeing people play chess outside in

San Juan Island

I finally made it to San Juan Island, Washington. I left the island kicking myself for having waited so long to visit. I have every intention of getting back to the islands again soon for some biking and kayaking. And eating. In the meantime, I need to befriend one of
