On the Streets: Photoshoot with Tony Hammons and Aurora Flux; Date with Datenite

I haven’t posted in a while. Have you ever had a blog? If so, you probably know what it’s like to get a little off your rhythm. Your photos, writing, or other projects start stacking up, and it becomes increasingly difficult to know where to pick up again.

On the Streets: Waiting in Style

I had to go downtown yesterday. I took this photo as I was walking into the light rail station. I envied his sense of style.

Adventures in Time Lapse

I should really be doing my taxes. Instead, I’ve been on a mission to learn how to do time lapses. I should preface this with a warning – you won’t learn much about time lapses by reading this. These are primarily my notes from going through the process

On the Streets: Aoki Sushi & Grill

Capitol Hill’s Aoki Sushi & Grill is closing this month. I think 16 March 2019 will be its last day. I’ll miss that place. I’m not a sushi connoisseur, but I’ve always enjoyed their food and the people who work there. It’s a nice neighborhood

Roxanna Walitzski's Farewell (to Seattle) Performance

My fairly recent introduction to Roxanna Walitzski was through her photography. It’s incredible. I can’t remember exactly how I found her work, but I suspect it was through my friend José Andrés. I learned later that Roxanna is also a talented, accomplished opera singer and artist. I wish

Arizona

Jerome is Haunted

I wanted to see Arizona’s high (higher) desert again, so I went to Jerome, Arizona, for two nights. It’s an Old West frontier town that enjoyed a wild mining boom followed by a long bust. It’s since reinvented itself as a cool mountain town popular with artists,

Late Night Jerome (two versions)

I ducked out of Phoenix for a quick visit to Jerome, Arizona. It’s an old boom and bust mining town situated in the mountains overlooking Cottonwood. I plan on doing a longer post about the trip, but I’m waiting for some film to come back from Tempe Camera.

La Push, Olympic National Park

In mid-December two friends of mine and I shared a small cabin in Olympic National Park for a couple of days. I’ve been meaning to get out there for the 2+ years I’ve lived in Seattle. You can see the snow capped mountains off in the distance across

Late December Sunset in Phoenix

Phoenix sunsets are incredible. I’ve read that pollution is partly responsible for the dramatic colors. I don’t doubt that, but I’m not also sure how accurate that is. I could tell that the sunset on Christmas was going to be impressive, so I hopped in the car

Morning in Portland

I was in California recently working on a small project. I stopped in Portland for a couple of nights on the way back to Seattle. The drive was pretty intense. I’m sure it’s my imagination, but Oregon is haunted. When you cross into Oregon, you know it. The

On the Streets: DJs Explorateur, Pepperazzi, and Scorpio Tail

A few of my favorite DJs (and photographers) played a set at Capitol Hill’s Nacho Borracho last night. I went to see if I could get a good photo. I really like the photo, but I’m kicking myself for a simple error. Before I got there I stopped

Video: Rainy Day on Capitol Hill

I’ve been working on my video and Adobe Premiere Pro abilities. I won’t lie – I’m at a pretty basic level. I’ve gone back and forth with video for a while now. I was late to the YouTube arena, but I now follow several photographers and

On the Streets: Thai Food, Capitol Hill

I was walking around Capitol Hill last night and spotted a friend having dinner. Capitol Hill, Seattle, November 2018. ISO 12800 | f/1.6 | 1/250th
