A friend recently asked me where I was able to get an historical photo of my Seattle home.  Older Seattle homes, built before 1930, are typically available from the state archives.  Send an email to archives@bcc.ctc.edu with your Property/Parcel Tax information and they’ll tell you what they can do.

Last weekend I had the great honor and pleasure of hosting yet another Photagonist photo contest. The topic was ’solitude’. People had 3 weeks to produce their work which was printed, hung and voted on in both San Francisco and Seattle. The results speak for themselves. I’ve put the top 3 finishers below but you [...]

Having recently rebuilt my blog I thought it would be fun to try and resurrect my Photo of the Day/Week. Here’s one I took in Seattle last December. Yes December. These bloom every year in November and December. The flower is so large and heavy that the stem bends 180 degrees [...]

Megan and I spent a weekend in Manzanita (4/14-4/16) checking out a [...]

You might think I’ve been remiss in my Photo of the Day and you’d be right. I have, however, been posting a few party sets from the last 6 months onto my new Flickr account. So maybe that makes up for it.
Below is a shot from a store front in Fremont. [...]

I’ve been so remiss in uploading photos from my friend’s birthday parties. Well here goes. Mrs. Laura Cherry turned something like 30 last month. Here are the photos, all shot in digital high grain. The photos had no editing, it’s a simple upload. Excuse the junk.

Day 3 of my journey. I’ve gone back to last October to find a somewhat interesting photo of a very interesting sculputre at the University of Washington campus. This metal “sculpture” lies near the new Law School building.

Here we go again, another photo of the day. #2 in fact.

I took this shot while on a walk with my good friend John Gossman while on a walk in Seward Park in late Winter. We walked over 7 miles that day and took lots of pictures or at least I did with [...]
