Keep off the Grass



I was messing around with this image, a settled on a cross-processed look. Which seems to work giving the image kind of an old '70s greenish blueish look. I think the cross-processed look makes the image feel classic and makes more of statement about man's invading nature and that we know have to put up a sign on a tree to 'Keep off the Grass" to preserve it? I just love the irony.

Quad Water Series


I took these images separately in the same shooting session. They were not intented to be grouped together like this at the time I was photographing. Its one of those things that happens after the fact when you have the images in front of you in this case scanned in. It just made sense to put them all together. This is a really hard subject matter to digest in one sitting because there is just so much going on in just one of the images. They can be looked at all together or one at a time and can be interrupted in many different ways which is the beauty of it. Love that each image can stand on its own as well as in a group form as they are here.

Seattle Music Lady


This lady was sitting in front of the first Starbucks in Seattle, WA. Can't say I've ever seen a harpsichord played by a street musician. I'm sure there is an interesting story as why this lady started play harpsichord? Another thing that's really cool about the photograph is that their is a large red music note on the concrete to the right of her. I wonder if that note was put there so that street musicians would know that this is a designated area for them to play? It looks like she is singing in the photograph even though I don't remember hearing anything when I was taking the photograph.
