Stairwell Performance

It has been some time since I've been out shooting photos at the Pike Place Market here in Seattle. Last August I was out looking for street performers.
I came across a few that peaked my interest, but there is always one guy that makes me stop and listen. He never really has much of a crowd and he seems very solemn and meek.
I enjoy his music every time I happen upon him, donate a dollar or two and move along my merry way. One of these days I need to go down and see if he's still there. Sometimes, these days I need a little something solemn and meek. Thank you.

Tick tock

Today is a beautiful day: the work day is taking forever to conclude! Why does this happen? Why does it seem like the moments you want to pass quickly drag on like a trip to the dentist!?
Please let this day end! Please let the fun begin. Onward!

I've always loved bridges. I have a strange fascination with them and i don't know why. Anyways, I had these buried in my phone and figured I should just pull them off before the thing croaks again.

I tried to keep this blog to only photos, but...

I CANNOT seem to understand why so much has been frustrating me lately. Seriously, what is funky in the world that keeps mucking up the works? Things have been less than desirable in every aspect of my life. It has to be me. I have to be putting off the wrong vibe or making the wrong movements. My horrendous fear is that this will continue for the rest of my life. Granted i'm less medicated than I have been in the past, but honestly, that could not be the issue. Are the moons off kilter? Are the vampires and lycans getting along? Has Ben and Jerry's desolved? Whatever it may be, I'm off to Subway. Let's hope a pepperoni and olive pizza helps realign something... soon.

From Seattle Main to Bremerton

Looking outside right now to the dark, drizzly and dreary I look back at a photo assignment I had this past summer to capture Bremerton and my ferry trip from Seattle Main Ferry Terminal. Enjoy.

Light Painting

I used to do this with film back in the '90s. I figured I would try it out with the digital sensor to see how sensitive it is. I still prefer film for stuff like this, but here are some of my results.

Here are a few of my pictures from my Neon collection.
