Sorry for the lack of posts last week. I think the new job, plus the new commute will take a little adjusting time, so please bear with me. I had a lovely fall weekend, which included my first photography class. Our first assignment was a lesson on depth of field at Seattle's Pike Place Market. So much color and atmosphere there. We also captured the simultaneously beautiful and disgusting Gum Wall. Just don't let anyone push you into it.
The photo class looks like it becomes you. How did I miss seeing the gum wall when we were in Seattle? So many places and so little time? Please give us more photos, the colors are fabulous! Painting inspiration may come from this.....
ReplyDeleteI remember visiting the market when I visited there - love it. Alas that was before I picked up my camera. *sigh* I would love to go back.
ReplyDeletebeautiful shots.
These all look so good! The last is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteAt least I could scroll back to the beginning to recover with pretty images after viewing the gum wall - ha!
ReplyDeleteOmg this gum wall exists??!!!?!?! There is a scene in the new movie Love Happens where they put gum on the wall & I thought it was just in the movie. Huh. Woa.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures!!
Beautiful pictures! Love, love, love our city!
ReplyDeleteI love the top shot. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOMG. The gum wall is soooo gross. Never knew such a thing existed! It stopped me cold.
ReplyDeleteThat gum wall is insane! ick! Love the other shots though :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots! I've always wanted to visit...
ReplyDeleteThe gum wall is gross, but you photographed it beautifully! Hope the job is going well. I may have to call on you for advice! Maybe you could be my career guru! :)
ReplyDeleteEven though I'm in Seattle too, I've never seen in the gum wall in person... I have a feeling I don't really want to, either :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE your photos thus far! and they make me miss how much fun i had visiting you last year and our multiple trips to pikes place!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love your colors. Very fall. Very Seattle. Looks like it was a great class.
ReplyDeleteExcellent depth of field! Love these shots! And I see it working into your ring shot... Nice job!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I would like to go to Pike's Place market.
Wow, that gum wall! How bizzare/gross/interesting, all at the same time.
ReplyDeleteAnd I can relate, my commute to work is over an hour and it can really take a toll on you!
great photos! the gum wall is a little freaky haha but unique!
