My Belltown Art Walk

They look like ghosts.

An arrow pointing to some of the best graffiti in Seattle.
Walk around Belltown near 1st and Vine.

Manfish 

Open the door

Enslaving all humans.  
I had one of those masks once it was made of leather.

RAW files

In the centre of the universe 

So I've come to the conclusion that I am an idiot!  All the photography I've been doing for years got saved as .jpg's instead of raw files.  So all these pictures I have are only of use to me.  There are so many possibilities in processing of your photos in RAW.

Belltown Graffiti

Dripping Hearts

Abstract Dragon

McGilla Gorilla

Kazoo

I saw all these pieces of graffiti in one parking lot in Belltown.  I have pictures of the same parking lot 3 years earlier and it looks completely different.  Then there was Mona Lisa, rats, bats and the word rain written in really large letters.

Georgetown Graffiti Wall

Bird Brain

Oh deer!

 Seahorse or Seadragon?

Peeling Paint even that is interesting

Spider web effect

This was in Georgetown, Washington in a very industrial part of the city.  We met a guy while taking pictures who wanted us to go back to his hotel room.  He didn't know how to cook his noodles and wanted us to show him. Hell no, I ain't touching anybody's noodle.

Some nice people I met tonight

This is Dave a good looking pedi-cab driver in Pike Place Market.
He has a sweet personality and is so friendly.  He could drive me anywhere.

What a beautiful sunset!

I got so lucky with this one he is taking a picture out the window.
I am taking a picture of him taking a picture.

If I had got downtown a 1/2 hour earlier I would have gone out on a ferry.

I met a sweet marine who is stationed in North Carolina and is shipping out for 
Japan tomorrow.  He said he is a sniper and he hopes to use that skill with the FBI
when he is done his hitch.  He says he feels like a number and just paid to do a job.
That's bullshit just because you get paid to do job doesn't mean you don't have a soul.
He said what he cares about the most is his wife back in Indiana.

Tubs Building in the U-District

Blue Alley Cat

Yellow Heart

Pink and Blue Swoosh

Even the tree was spray painted.

An artful Fuck You!

Every month the building is repainted.  I know this because my photos of the same spot a month earlier show something different.  The Tubs building must have paint on it at least an inch thick.

Seattle Sea Chickens have lost!



Through the ceiling of The Glass Museum 

Needle with galaxy gold paint on the roof.

Needle reflection in a glass ball look close and you'll see
that I'm reflected too.

Needle with 12th man flag on top.

We lost but it was a great game between Seattle and Atlanta.  We lost it in the last 30 seconds and by 1 field goal.  Too much time was left and Atlanta was able to move the ball down the field for a kick.

Bumbershoots

So many pretty bumbershoots
Bumbershoot is an Americanism and a squeezing of two
words together:Umbrella and Parachutte

Puddles

Rush Hour in the Rain

Pike Place Lights

Everybody Can Can

City Fish

Pike Place was opened in 1907.

We Rock

Lights, Camera, No Action
Quiet night in the market
