Week 45: Ours Goes to 11

On Friday 11/11/11 I had the honor of attending the wedding of my friends Clint & Leigh. I also had the honor of photographing the wedding. I don't normally photograph people and I've never photographed a wedding so I was very worried. The ceremony was great and I was happy to be a part of their day. I am thankful that some of the shots I took came out well. I will post more after I have a chance to show them to the bride and groom.

Week 44: Battle Time

Sunday was an important day in Football the New England Patriots faced the Pittsburgh Steelers. Normally this game means nothing to me, what changed it this year is Dave is a die hard Steelers fan and he really dislikes the Patriots. The intense dislike comes from the fact that the Patriots typically beat the Steelers. I wanted to wager on the game but Dave was too afraid to place an actual bet as he wasn't 100% confident the Steelers would win. Also we could not agree on terms. In the end it is probably better that the Steelers won as Dave would have been miserable if they had lost and I really didn't care. After all it's only a game.

Week 43: What a View

If you're not already jealous of me you will be now. This is the view I have from my cube. I know poor me having to look out over the Space Needle every day.

Week 42: Bye Bye Viaduct

For those of you that know Seattle may be familiar with the viaduct. A double decker road through town. There is currently a large construction project under way to tear down the viaduct and replace it with a tunnel. On October 22 the viaduct was closed and pedestrian traffic was allowed on the bridge. I was very excited at the opportunity to walk the bridge. I was prepared for the worse in terms of crowds, having experienced the big dig in Boston and the crowds for the bridge and tunnel walks there. Luckily the weather was miserable on Saturday and there were not a lot of crowds. For more photos of the day click here

Week 41: Mmm Tasty

Fall is pumpkin season, so my photo club went out to Jubilee Farms in Carnation for some seasonal shooting. Saw a catapult throw a pumpkin, fell down a hill and took some photos. My favorite though was this sign. I found it funny that pigs think fingers are food because I think pigs are food. BACON! More photos from this day are on my Flickr phot stream

Week 40: I Ate Where?

I agreed to go to Kansas City even though I had knocked Missouri off my list of states in June for 2 reasons. 1) I was promised a trip to Kansas so I could cross that off the list and 2) While in Kansas I would indulge in some of the best BBQ in the states. Imagine my surprise when I was taken to a gas station in Kansas for lunch!

To be honest I was told ahead of time that Oklahoma Joe's is in a gas station. And the BBQ was very good. We got there shortly after the place opens at 11. By 11:30 the line was out the door. If ever in Kansas City I highly recommend stopping at this gas station for lunch.

Week 38-39: Lo-Fi Weekend

Last weekend I went non-digital. Took out my polaroid and fisheye and enjoyed a beautiful fall day with friends.





Week 38: UFOs at Discovery Park


Saturday I got together with the Flickr Peeps for a lo-fi stroll in Discovery Park. The sun was shining so it was a good day to take the polaroid out. I do love the impossible project the film always produces some interesting artifacts. This one there appears to be a UFO floating over Puget Sound.

Week 39: Deception Pass

Sunday I drove up to deception pass to take an hour boat ride with a friend. Saw some wildlife and got to view the bridge from underneath. Very cool
