Line from a Song

Line from a Song: Ok, I give up. I have to say, I struggled with this one in a weird sort of way. #52WeekChallenge #HONNE #Food #Photography #PotatoesOfInstagram

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]Ok, I give up. I have to say, I struggled with this one in a weird sort of way. It’s no one’s fault but mine, really, but I’m at a complete loss, and thus several days late posting this one (not really unusual, that last bit).[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”82199″ caption=”yes” media_lightbox=”yes” media_width_percent=”100″ lbox_title=”yes”…

2021-12 A Chair

2021-12 A Chair: I guess sometimes the universe just provides. #52WeekChallenge #CatchingUp #AllCaughtUpNow #SeeYouTuesdayAndFriday

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]I hunted and searched for quite awhile for a suitable chair to photograph for this prompt. I found some chairs outside a permanently closed café, and they were stacked kind of haphazardly in a manner that suggested abandonment, so that would have been interesting, but the prompt specifically says “*A*” Chair. I was on my way back to the house,…

It Happens Over Time: Has Adobe just given up? #Adobe #BuildingUpkeep #ZombieApocalypse #COVIDCare #Seattle #LookinABitShabby

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]I saw this the other day on my walkabout around Fremont.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”82150″ caption=”yes” media_lightbox=”yes” media_width_percent=”100″ lbox_title=”yes” lbox_caption=”yes” lbox_social=”yes” lbox_deep=”yes” lbox_connected=”yes”][vc_column_text]I don’t know what Adobe has been up to over the course of the pandemic, but the…

2021-11 Rule of Thirds

2021-11 Rule of Thirds: Like The Male Gaze, I sometimes like to play into The Rule of Thirds while simultaneously subverting it. #RuleBreaker #52WeekChallenge #CatchingUp #Seattle #Wine #RuleOfThirds #Photography #Art

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]The Rule of Thirds at its simplest is pretty straightforward. Arrange a subject in a visual piece about a third of the way in from the edge of the piece, and it has a nice balance, or something approximately thereabouts. I use it sometimes to frame a shot, and subvert it sometimes too, by placing my subject at some different…

2021-10 Kiss

2021-10 Kiss: It was the 'Ronas that caught my eye, though. Art by Randolph Silver. #Seattle #QueenAnne #52WeekChallenge #CatchingUp

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]Close enough, don’t you think?[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”82109″ caption=”yes” media_lightbox=”yes” media_width_percent=”100″ lbox_title=”yes” lbox_caption=”yes” lbox_social=”yes” lbox_deep=”yes” lbox_connected=”yes”][vc_column_text]I was thinking about grabbing whatever random couple I saw next to ask them to kiss for this prompt, when…

2021-09 Pattern

2021-09 Pattern: I didn't have a clue as to what I was going to do about the "Pattern" prompt for this post, but it was next on the list #52WeekChallenge #CatchingUp #Seattle

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]I didn’t have a clue as to what I was going to do about the “Pattern” prompt for this post, but it was next on the list when I went walkabout the other day to catch up this year’s 52 week photography challenge. But this steel grating caught my eye as I crossed the Fremont Bridge.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”82106″ caption=”yes”…

2021-08 Complementary Colors

2021-08 Complementary Colors: No one asked me to choose the color scheme for the Fremont Bridge. Turns out, that's a good thing. #52WeekChallenge #CatchingUp #MyBrainMadeMeLate

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]I’ve posted shots of the Fremont Bridge before, for my other 52-week project. I wouldn’t have chosen blue and orange for the colors of a cute little drawbridge across the Lake Washington Shipping Canal, but no one asked me.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”82105″ caption=”yes” media_lightbox=”yes” media_width_percent=”100″ lbox_title=”yes”…

2021-07 Lines

2021-07 Lines: I managed to survive The Great Snowpocalypse of 2021, but I think whoever is in charge of the weather needs a stern talking to! Picking back up on my two 52-week photo projects after a brief medical hiatus. #Snowpocalypse2021 #Seattle #TheySaidTheWintersWereMild

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]I quit smoking back in December. My last cigarette was December 4th, and I’m pretty proud of that, after a pack a day for just over 30 years. But I’d needed a little help, and was on an anti-depressant that’s also used for smoking cessation. Thing is, it really scrambled my brain. I was having some pretty bad anxiety and panic attacks, and they kept…
