Seattle Street Art

I like this find because I got off the beaten path and then played around with some angles to get what I wanted. I think the the weeds in the lower left corner make this picture.

I enjoyed the Fremont neighborhood in Seattle and probably could have spent the entire day there exploring.

Seattle Summer

I like this particular picture because it was taken with the manual mode and I had to do it without the mount for my tri-pod. I am not a big fan of skyline pictures in general, but since I had two unknowing subjects about 20 yards in front of me I felt like I had to give this a shot. In fact it was more like 30 shots by the time I was done changing settings, positions and waiting 20-30 seconds for the shutter to release each time.

I have other variations of this photo that I also like. This is a low resolution copy for the blog too. (All of the pictures posted here are low resolution)

Calm Before Rain

Rolling hills of the greater-Portland area from July 2009 trip.

Oregon Farm

A misty July day in the Oregon hills led me to this farm about 12 miles outside downtown Portland. I had been driving around with our then 9-month old son sleeping in the backseat for about an hour when I found these three cows staring me down.

Our trip to Spain was incredible in 2006. By the time we got to Barcelona, my run with the bulls in Pamplona was behind us so my wife could relax. I liked Madrid, but th evibrancy of Barcelona topped the list.
