Seattle Shots






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.

  1. 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.....

  11. Even 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 :)

  15. Wow, that gum wall! How bizzare/gross/interesting, all at the same time.

    And I can relate, my commute to work is over an hour and it can really take a toll on you!
