Just Fooling Around

Movie Mashup of the Day

Snapshots Before I Go

 I moved to Seattle in 1993, though I had been visiting the city since I was 10. Somehow, I always knew I was going to live here. "Mommy, when I grow up, I want to live in the Space Needle," I said after our first family vacation trip to the Emerald City. Now, these many decades later, I contemplate possibly moving to another city, only the second city-to-city move I have ever made. In many ways Seattle is far different from the city I first called my new hometown, and particularly my neighborhood, Capitol Hill, the only place in Seattle I have lived, has changed into a place I don't want to call home anymore. I am not leaving the city, as the city already sort of left me.

But I still enjoy taking pictures as I go from errand or job or event, or just dawdling around the streets of various neighborhoods. Here are several from the past few weeks. Kind of a collection of trivial postcards, moments that happen upon my eye. 

Submission 2015

It's that time of year again: entering works for consideration in this year's Seattle Erotic Art Festival. Here are my six entries, including one printed on metal, the first time I've entered a work in that material. 

We'll see if the judges decide if any of them are worthy of inclusion in this great annual event.

Subversive Poem, Redacted

Sometimes, I see something that looks to me

like something completely different

from what it really is.
So I take a picture.

The War On Gentrification Heats Up

Seattle's Capitol Hill is changing fast,

and many folks don't like it.
