Colourful
Now, bringing that dualities thing back... here is the big colour entry for may...
Portra 400NC and the ol' trusty m6.
Love it when things say what they are...
The best parking spots near my apt. I came early to get one, and failed.
Some construction thingy in Broadway
Cha cha...?
Blue/Grayish alleyways
Contrasts - Loud/Quiet
Red Pablits and red N
Then N and I drove North (like we use to do), and ended up in Canada...
I did not have a really fond of Vancouver, but this time, I really liked it.
Dock by Grainville Mkt
Balloon guy
Art Gallery
...and that was about it... I took a lot more, but traveling, I use much more the digi-slr
Some guy sleeping on his car... as I got near, the dog in the back went bezerk...
Dick's... Do you like... well, stupid joke.
Some girl getting pulled over... no idea why
The hallway in our floor.
Some guy smoking by the window...
My old ride... I hated it, so I gave it back, and got a new one.
This is one of my favourite colour films... Portra 160VC - again using the m6.
Pizza restaurant in Fremont - caught it mid-air.
I think this is my fav N photograph ever... the colours, the window, her hair...
And now... switching to 50mm.... and doing the tourist thing... TULIP FEST!!!
Yay, this proves how people just don't give a fuck.
Endless fields of tulips...
Think different... Tulip Computer... wait...
Ye olde tulip barn
Another child left behind
Posing
The best parking spot EVER... and I was already parked. Damn it. 1/1000 @ f5.6
Quite informative - 1/1000 @ f5.6
Photographing the photo section... how clever!!
My new thing is going to places, buying the city Moleskine, and scribble my adventures away. No blogs, no uploading errors... simpler times.
One Sunday, I simply woke up and told N... "let's go to Tacoma". I'd never been there for more than 15 mins, so she agreed, and off we went.
Portra 160VC
The first stop was the glass museum...
Glass fountain
People making glass live, in front of yer eyes
The museum has this activity with schools where they ask children to draw something strange they take the drawing,
and make that on glass. The first one is a coyote with rainbows over its paws.
Glassy toilets... it fits the museum
Colourful spheres...
Tacoma Glass Museum
Chihuly Glass Bridge
A post in the Chihuly Bridge
Union Station and the Jazz Saxophonist
Washington History Museum
Some random stairs
Union Station (behind)
Yet another Tacoma Museum
Glass Museum roof - on out way back
N sitting besides the fountain
Awesome pizza place near the Space Needle
Trees
Feeding the birds.... noisy as hell
Reala 100
Bastardized BW - Sorry... it was meant to be BW
Another BW meant to be - Is that guy John Malkovich??
Mooore mirrors...
Urban Flickerites
The Westin... cool tones
The last bastardized BW - Kid with a spoon
A couple that somehow felt perfect together
Walking home from downtown
This other weekend we just drove North to visit Whidbey Island.
the Ferry that took us to Whidbey Island
Aboard the ferry
Dude was hogging the place... didn't even let me take 1 shot at the water...
Trees
Look at the Reala greens - greens on steroids... oh, and the chess match
A funny flower
Found at the Whidbey Island Farmer's Market
The Town Hall
Then I ran out of film, and loaded the LAST Portra 400NC i'll ever use (unless I am shooting under Tungsten -- which is not often):
Admiralty Bay...
Looking for a stone? I grabbed 4 and piled them up in my office...
This should be where they recorded the Blind Melon - No Rain video...
Fort Casey State Park
Fort Casey State Park Lighthouse...
Back at our same pizza place... awesome...
I'd rather date Lorena Bobbitt first...
Paula at the wheel of her Uber spacious Mini (for realz)... The title that comes to mind... "The Joys of Driving"
Paula chatting up our waitress at Musashi... the lady speaks several languages -- not sure if they were speaking Italian or French
Last Saturday, there was a street fair in the U-district... very pintoresque, if you ask me. I had a good time with Thomas, and Arturo... Internz hittin' da streetz type thing...
Arturo papping away...
Thomas Texting
Doughnut stand...
Then the rewind lever became stiff, indicating that there was no more film available.
Life's rolling...
I don't know when I'll post more.a
Hope life catches you well.

Black and White May Entry
One day, I wore a jacket, and found an old film in one of the pockets. I had no idea what was in it, so I took it down to Panda Labs.
There were some Steilacoom photos, and some other photos from before we went to Vancouver.
So here it goes...
Delta 100
Train hauling an engine
Another shadow self-portrait
Bob... standing on the train tracks
Someone parked in someone else's spot
Here I did a mid-roll switch from the m6 to the f100, and headed down town with N...
SEATT LE FER RY TER MIN AL
Push to cross
Lamps on a dock
The distant cranes. The smell here was awful.
These two looked like a pair of flickerites trying to snuck up to people and snapping them away
Juan Salvador Gaviota in mid-flight
Since I like concerts, I got myself a ticket for the Fall Out Boy concert at the WaMu theather.
This is TriX
Cobra Starship
The Fan getting The Shot
Then came Metro Station (Shake shake shake shake shake shake shake)
Then All Time Low - they are surprisingly funny onstage...
Then people got tired...
Then people said how excited they were, while children had a ghost-like appearance
Lights out, then one single spotlight, and flashes...
FOB rocking hard
...and sporting LED guitars
...and fancy lightning
It was a good show.
The next day, I found... strawberries. Lying on the floor.
Where the hell is the Velvia when you need it??
And so, the Seattle walks continue...
TMax 100 - trying to take notes...
I am learning to meter properly... at last!! 1/500 @ f1.4
I like these trees... 1/1000 @ f11
...and I sometimes hate the City of Seattle. 1/30 @ f16
Note this is a pink elephant... showering himself with a hat. 1/1000 @ f3.5
No idea what this dude was looking at. Maybe a pizza. Dunno.
The awesome City Market... with its awesome drawings...1/30 @ f1.4.
Dude walked in while I was metering, and just went for it... he didn't realize I was focusing the window. 1/30 @ f1.4
Free smells at a local U-District bakery. So very generous of them!!! 1/125 @ f1.4
Dude dressed up as a Star Wars Imperial Fleet Officer - Why do I know that? 1/250 @ f1.4
This gas station changes the phrases every week. It's cool. 1/250 @ f1.4
Here's the scene. I try to escape traffic going through a McD's, and this bitch just stepped on the gas, blocking my way... all because stupid granny thought I wanted to cut the drive through line.... bitch... 1/1000 @ f1.4
Musashi's... they are the ones who make the magic happen... 1/30 @ f1.8
Open tulips...
There's your regular fix of BW FILM.
Life's been pretty good with me lately...
Colour to come very very soon.
Hope life catches you well...
