Self Portrait

 

A little editing with Gimp today... Not sure yet if I like the way it turned out. Any thoughts?

 

Here is the original...

 

Meet Nick...

Meet Nick. He is my stranger number 2... I was driving in downtown this morning on my way to a project and I saw this guy repelling down the side of a building. My first assumption was window washer. I have never shot a guy on a building so this was an opportunity.

Nick isn't a window washer, rather he is a building inspector. He has been repelling off of and inspecting the side of buildings for almost nine years. So now the obvious question... Are you a rock climber? No, was his response. He has never been nor has he a desire to be one. He just repels from buildings. Since he had twenty more drops to do today I respected his time and know little more than that. He was more than willing to have his picture taken for the project.

Thanks Nick for being number two...

This picture is #02 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page

Store Closing

 

I saw this sign in the window of a store downtown. I like the reflection and the contrast...

Expressive

Self Portrait

Is it narcissistic to post a picture on your own blog of yourself? Maybe it is. I think in five years this is the first one so maybe it is ok...

Have an amazing day!

Lost

Allen

While on a photo walk today I encountered Allen. He is a retired youth counselor from Portland and loves riding on trains...

Thanks for the photo op!

Protest

My shot today is from downtown Portland during an "Anti-Wells Fargo Bank" rally that I encountered.

Taken with my cell phone...

Peeling Paint...

I took this macro shot with my phone. I thought it was an interesting B&W shot... It makes a cool cell phone wallpaper. Feel free to download it and use it for yourself. Have a great day!

Symetry

I enjoyed the black and white picture of the stair the other day  I thought I would share another black and white shot I took the same day with my phone.

It is of the walkway at SeaTac airport from the light-rail system to the terminal.

Enjoy your day!
