Don't You Miss the Warmth

December 23rd, 2009

On a cold wintry morning, this image brings the warmth of summer right into the room. This was taken in the midst of July and is looking back from the waterfront towards the Space Needle, near the S.A.M.

Countdown of 2009 # 4

Moving in on one year!

December 10th, 2009

Well I am moving in on a year of being a "Photo-blogger". I had a goal of sticking with this for a year and seeing where it took me. I have had more success then I could ever imagine, allowing me to really pursue a strong love and passion of mine. At the turn of the year I will be starting an "Official" photographer's site and move into the professional field of photography.

I will visiting beloved Europe and will try to make a few posts while on vacation while visiting Germany, Rome, and Paris.

As we move to the end of the year I thought it would be a nice reflection to look at the top 10 pictures from this past year.

As cliche as it is, Kerry Park provides photographers with a spectacular view of the Pacific Northwest's finest city. Although more known for the sunset photos, I rose early this time last year and got a before sun rise glow with Mt. Rainer in the background.

50% Recyclable

August 10th, 2009

In a city which recycles 50% of its garbage, it is typical to find efficient ways to get around town. Here in a back alley a Vespa is keeping its spot warm for its owner, while the Needle keeps a watchful eye

It's All About Perspective

August 5th, 2009

Whever you are in the city of Seattle, the Space Needle seems to always make its presence known. Laying on the grass and taking a siesta in the middle of a recent heat wave, I found myself captivated by the reflection of this 1970's monument of creation.

Up, Up, And Away!

June 22nd, 2009

The Space Needle is an iconic symbol associated with Seattle, it it no less apart of Seattle then Nirvana, or Starbucks. This picture makes me think there has to be an observation deck at the end of these scorching temperatures!

Masterful Oversight

May 1st, 2009

In a city that is symbolized throughout the world by one single structure, the space needle looms on every corner daring you to ask," What city is this again?"

Now Presenting: The U.S. Coast Guard

March 4th, 2009

With the spotty weather, you have to get all the training in you can. The U.S. Coast Guard has done a swell job of it here, using their fast response boats to speed to a simulated rescue roughly 1nm away. The Space Needle provides a great backdrop for the shot.

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.
