Breaking Dawn

March 12th, 2009

Now that the days are getting longer, and the dawn comes a wee bit earlier every day, I though i would rise early one morn, and capture a couple of shots. This is one of those. 25 degrees out and b-e-a-utiful!

View From the Hill Top

February 24th, 2009

With the foul weather, it is nice to look back on the nicer days. This a is an altered view but a nicer one, a panoramic view from Kerry Park looking back onto Elliot Bay and the Seattle skyline.

Growing Dawn

December 5, 2008

I have been eager to get up to Kerry Park for some time now. Even though it is the cliche, place to take pictures of the Seattle skyline, it has that reputation for a reason. The sight line is incredible and rewards patience if you are willing to watch a full sunrise. Some of the pictures rewarded in this morning are some of my favorite of all time. However, it can get somewhat crowded, and if you are an amateur do not be too intimidated by professionals who happen to take up residence alongside you.

This very morning I was blessed to be shooting next to a pro. A gentleman who happened to be a lens tester for Canon! How in the world do you get that job? Yet, I failed to ask this single question, due to the awe inspiring vista which lay before us.

Sucker for the Sun

Being a huge sucker for sun shots I could do nothing to help myself from snapping this quickly as scurried to make it to my classroom before my students did.
