The Glowing Table.

.....

I just shot this !  I was sitting at my kitchen table reading  web pages, looked out the door and saw this scene.  I made the shot with my iPhone and processed it minimally, in Lightroom.  Maybe the flare is a smudge on the lens or something but I really like the shot.

Shadow Bike.

.....

I bought a bike to ride around town in response to the BP well blow out in the Gulf.  I have read that most of the auto fuel is used for trips under 5 miles around the home.  That fits me as I visit my clients, the Library and the Sky River Bakery in Monroe, Washington.  I was in photo school in Santa Barbara, California when that well blew and covered the beaches.

At the Track Meet.

.....

I was covering the Washington State Track and Field Meet at Mt. Tahoma High School in Tacoma, Washington for the Monroe Monitor Newspaper The weather was bad, rain, cold and very windy.  Late on the last day the storm smoothed a bit and the light changed to something soft and lovely.  These starting blocks were waiting at one curve in the track.

I like visual puns, this photo booth was setup at the Seattle Art Museum exhibit of Andy Warhol featuring his Polaroids.

Marqee Man.

.....

Changing the marquee at the Showbox on First Avenue in Seattle.  In looking at my shots this is a very rare vertical, I guess I see life horizontally.

Overhead Dog.

.....

It's hard to go wrong with animals.  I like to work with overhead views whenever I can find them.  The cobbles make a subtle background pattern too.  This is in Post Alley, in the Pike Place Market, Seattle, Washington.

The Blonds.

.....

Photography is such a mystery to me sometimes.  I shot this frame on the street because the crutches caught my eye and the blonds of course.  The mystery part is this shot received over 2000 hits on my Flickr.com site and 3 people flagged it as "Favorites".  Maybe it has to do with the title I gave the shot, but in any case, to all those viewers I say thank you.  The shot was in downtown Seattle, WA.
