On the Streets: Cal Anderson Park

It’s been a while. Sorry about that. I was on the road. Took this last night after walking around looking for election night photos. I found it reassuring. Cal Anderson Park, Capitol Hill, Seattle, 6 November 2018. Fujifilm XT2 | 5000 | f/2 | 1/250

Bait Shop

On the Streets: Bait Shop and Lightroom

The rain and dark skies have returned to Seattle. I ducked into Capitol Hill’s Bait Shop [https://www.instagram.com/baitshopseattle/] the other day for some veggie tacos. I sat at the bar, idly surfing news on my phone. Most everyone else was doing the same thing. It’s

On the Streets: Morning in the Market

I was up early this morning and headed for Pike Place Market. It was really cold out. Before you say that we don’t know cold in Seattle, I’ll mention that I spent 20 years off and on in DC and a couple of years in NYC. It was

On the Streets: Rainy Morning

It’s that time of year in Seattle. Wet and cold. I told myself after last winter that I needed to get smarter about Seattle winters if I’m going to make it here. I like rainy, grey days, but Seattle is full on. Several friends of mine who have

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.

What Does the Fox Say?

Spotted this furry fella scampering through Capitol Hill. I don’t think it’s actually a fox, it’s just the first animal I thought of. Perhaps a mythical beast. With armor. Who got the PAX West [http://west.paxsite.com] dates wrong. The image reminded me that I’d

On the Streets: Thursday on the Hill

Photographers, writers, bloggers, freelancers – you’re all familiar with the incessant call to post. My friend Tony and I spent the weekend shooting photos and videos at the Seattle Acoustic Festival 2017 [https://www.seattleacousticfestival.com] for Rain City Collective [https://www.raincitycollective.com]. It was a great experience, but

Seattle's Seafair Fleet Week

Last week Seattle got a chance to thank the men and women who serve their country on the high seas. According to the Seafair website [http://www.seafair.com/p/schedule/294], there were “vessels and personnel from the U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard and Royal Canadian Navy.

June's Twilight

Great evening for wandering around Capitol Hill. Loads of people were out, doing summer evening sort of things. Bumped into a friend who was working a second job. People in the food and drink industry work hard. Kept wandering around. Everywhere you looked, people were hanging out over food, grabbing

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

On the Streets: Short Train Ride

Met up with a friend in downtown Seattle yesterday. The walk between Capitol Hill and downtown is a pleasant one, but so is the ride on the train. Both options are better than driving if you don’t need a car. Grabbed a couple of quick photos.

On the Streets: Saturday on Capitol Hill

Ate breakfast at Glo’s Coffee Shop [http://www.gloscafe.com] again. That place has become a favorite. The fruit bowl is a generous serving of mixed fruit. After breakfast I took some photos here and there.

On the Streets: World's Most Interesting Man...

…and Woman, but for a post title it gets a little wordy. I lucked into the following shot on 29 March in Pioneer Square. I really like it down there. Historic red brick frontier-era buildings, many of which have gotten Soho-like facelifts resulting in lofts, boutiques, and trendy restaurants. Change

On the Streets: All the World a Stage

This gentleman was not afraid of the camera. He saw me taking shots of the dumpster set against that great wall. He’d already walked by once or twice. He walked by again as I had my camera raised, and it seemed like he instinctively knew when to turn to
