Seattle Public Library - September 1st, 2010
Alright, so we finally went to the Seattle Public Library (it only took us a full year). If you haven’t ever seen it before, it’s a bit jarring; the structure itself is a large misshapen monster of glass that looks more like an enormous greenhouse than anything else, and it’s plopped down in the middle of the city with older, much more boring architecture surrounding it. I grabbed a few shots inside but there were really only a couple that I liked enough to post. C’est la vie, non?
The shot above turned out to be one of my favorites, I call it “Let your feet guide you.” The library is so big and labyrinthian inside that in order to make it easier to navigate, they placed sorting numbers on floor tiles between aisles. I would say they’re Dewey Decimal sorting codes, but I could have sworn they stopped calling them that a few years ago. Either way, it’s pretty useful when you’re lost in a library this size.

The Japanese Garden - August 26th, 2010
Grabbed this shot just a couple of feet directly above a literal feeding frenzy at the huge koi pond in Seattle’s Japanese garden. The koi in the pond are proportional gigantic, and they swarm wherever they think food may be. Some of the fish in this picture are easily larger than a dachshund. Full size available here.
The images in this set were all grabbed at the Japanese garden in Seattle’s arboretum (map in a box). It’s a cute little garden that’s really just big enough to make for a nice summer morning’s walk. This time around there’s a nice mix of black & white and colour. Yes, colour.
Passed Away - August 24th, 2010
Image titled Passed Away, by deepcalm on deviantART. This guy is good stuff, and he still shoots film so I like him even more.
An Early Morning Walk - August 20th, 2010
Waited for a bus to fly by so I could get the market sign behind me. It worked and I liked it, so I’m calling this one Market Mirror. At least, that’s what the filename is. Full size available here.
Hipster Duck - August 20th, 2010
I thought this was funny because the duck is doing that new hipster fashion slouch-foot thing — you know, that one. It really is a cute image though.

Rain - August 16th, 2010
A sampling of images from Rain, a set by Navid Baraty on Behance.
I love these. The collection is split between captures in San Francisco and Japan, and the entire set is just as good as this.
