Bricked in Window - Georgetown

These were taken on 11/22/07 in Georgetown an old neighborhood in south Seattle. The structure is part of the old Rainier Brewery which is slated for demolition according to a sign posted at the south end of the complex.

Bricked in windows are a marked feature of old structures in south Seattle where I do a lot of shooting. You find the tops of them peaking up from the substrata of underground Seattle just "South of Yesler" see my post by that name.South of Yesler

Vents B&W

This is a re-shoot of a roof at Highline High School. I was using a long focal length and could not get both the big white vent and the steaming vent in focus at the same time so I took about twenty exposures focusing at different points and then combined two images to get both of the important vents in focus.

Mark Toby - Fort Lawton Jan 2, 2005

I am reposting this shot because it was buried so deep in my blog that I couldn't find it and it is a favorite of mine taken during my first serious shoot with my first digital camera about a week after I took up photography again after a lapse of 25 years without a camera.

Armistice Day

Photos taken while trespassing on some land which has been confiscated by the Port of Seattle for the third runway at SeaTac. There was no fence and the land was west of the DesMoines way so I wasn't in the secure area, it was adjacent to a construction site which looks like it will be used for a new access road. I have an attachment to the site. I used to ride my horse there in the summer of 1960. The farm where we kept the horse can be seen here: True's Farm

South of Yesler

This was taken today at 11:17AM south of Yesler near the waterfront in Seattle. It was a sun filtered through fog day. Never really cleared up. The fog was down between the buildings.

Take a close look at the bottom of that wall and note the window arches just above street level. Strange place for windows isn't it. I suspect this is a building that was constructed before the street level was raised one floor and what we see here is the tops of windows in "underground Seattle".

Indian Summer

This was taken in SW Seattle on Oct 23, 2007 at 3:18 PM in a little park at S 160th and 9th SW. The ambiant temperature was 71F. The second day of warm weather. The image was developed from a raw file in ACR4.2 and PSE4 Mac.

Went down to the Union Pacific switching yards in south Seattle after dinner and worked for an hour or so before the light gave out and it started raining.
