#329: Queen Anne, W Newell Street at 10th Ave W

329) Here’s a pro tip -- never let a mailbox take control of the situation and art-direct your photo shoot. I started off standing next to this Queen Anne box, but then made the mistake of taking its advice. “Hey, you know what would be good? If you were on the other side of the street. Yeah, like that. Now, stand at the top of the stairs. That’s great! Try taking a step down. Now another. Another. One more.”

Stupid mailbox.

#314: Queen Anne, 10th Ave W at W McGraw Street

314) This is a very, very nervous mailbox. Large construction projects tend to spell doom for many boxes in Seattle... everything can be hunky dory for literally decades, but then all of a sudden some construction fencing goes up and WHOOSH! The box is gone, never to return. So far, it looks like this box is escaping this fate, but as I said, it’s very nervous.

76) If I were to make a list of my Top 100 favorite songs, that list would definitely include “Lined Up” by Shriekback. So, to pay tribute to this funky tune, I’ve lined myself up with a pillar, a nice doubwide mailbox, and a couple of mailbox competitors. As you might be able to tell, you can find this line-up at Fisherman’s Terminal on W Nickerson Street.

27) I was rather surprised to notice that I had not yet visited the Queen Anne neighborhood for this project, so I sneaked up there this morning to rectify this omission. As you can see, I was trying to play it really cool and stay somewhat hidden... the last thing I wanted was for a mass of angry QA residents to spot me and take retribution for overlooking them for so long. This great hiding place is next to the hardware store on W McGraw Street at 3rd Ave W.
