Seattle Photologger Meet

Tuesday, June 17, 2003

Did you see a dozen or more people wandering around downtown Seattle and waving cameras around. Or did you see different views of the same subject on several photologs? That would have been the first Seattle Photologgers Summit and Field Trip.

Original Sin

Saturday, June 14, 2003

The guy at the bike shop had been unenthusiastic about giving my circa 1985 Schwinn a tune-up right from the start. The tires needed to be replaced, he pointed out. The outdated steel rims made braking unsafe. A more recent used bike wouldn’t cost much more than the tune-up and the tires. But I wanted [...]

Broad Gestures

Saturday, June 14, 2003

Vivace Espresso (See also 11/25/02.) Just because someone is using a hands-free cellphone instead of talking to himself in an overly animated manner, it doesn’t mean they can’t be crazy too.

Reservoir Construction

Tuesday, June 10, 2003

Photos of the original construction of the Lincoln Reservoir and the current project to cap the reservoir. The park that holds the reservoir had it’s name taken away more than 80 years ago. No one ever bothered to look for a new one until recently.

Limburger Cheese

Sunday, June 8, 2003

These are the things that happened this afternoon as the heat wave started to fade and I sat in the shade outside Bauhaus Coffee. A nervous-looking man walked by and said, “I feel like Limburger cheese.” His tone and posture left those within earshot unsure whether he meant that he’d like to eat Limburger cheese [...]

Orchids and Cacti

Sunday, June 8, 2003

A walk in Volunteer Park last week ended at the Conservatory. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a good photo of the Venus fly trap. (Here’s a Conservatory photo on tyd’s site.)

Seattle, on business

Friday, June 6, 2003

Pier 59 There’s a girl sitting at a table stirring her tan-colored iced coffee drink continuously so that the ice cubes rattle against the glass. Her friends arrive, and she gets up to talk to them, the ice cubes and glass continue to rattle as she continues stirring. Her friends head in different directions to [...]
