Seattle Again

Last November I got the chance to head up to Seattle for work.  Typically I bring my camera along on business trips, but sadly enough I usually don't take it out.  On this particular trip I took some candids of my friend's daughters while in Portland but apon arrival in Seattle I only shot about three frames.  This is one of them.

Mt. Rainier

My neighbor just got back from Seattle and was talking about how great the city was to go and shoot in the morning hours. As I have posted before on this blog, it is a city I really enjoy shooting in. This is a shot of Mt. Rainier in a purple haze in the early morning. Seattle has to be one of the best state side cities I have traveled to. It is beautiful, clean and has a very grown up feel to it unlike a lot of cities that have the feel of a college town. I think I need to get back. Maybe a weekend in October?

Seattle A.M.

This is another shot I took while I was in Seattle, the same morning as the Beecher's Cheese photo that I posted a couple of posts back. I like shooting in the dark hours and capturing the people while in movement. It is something I have done since buying my first SLR and taking a trip to NYC back in 2002. It is something I plan on doing more of when I get to NYC in September.

Beecher's Cheese

I shot this photo in the Fish Market in Seattle. I thought I woke up at 6:00 AM to go out and shoot but it was actually 5:00 because I failed to remember to change my watch to Pacific Time. I set my tripod up to get a shot of this building when a man approached me and asked me a question. It was cold out and I thought he asked, "Do you know where I can get some love?" He had actually asked, "Do you know where I can get some gloves?" When I said I don't know, he walked away and then turned around for a split second and looked at me. That's when I captured this image. I love it because of the subject being blurry and underexposed in the dark of the streets. It makes him seem mysterious.
