Had the pleasure of working with after a friend had to back out last minute do to a health emergency.

Sierra stepped in and saved the night and she was a lot of fun to work with. I cannot wait to work with her again. She submitted this to . If it gets printed, I can't wait to see it.

I have had a crazy few months with work and have not had a chance to really post, but I'm getting some more free time or time to breath after work, and will be posting more often. Stay tuned to see more photos from my work with Sierra, and others.

Day 334: “There is one thing the photo must contain – the humanity of the moment.”– Robert Frank

and I got together a 2 year ago to do a photoshoot and hang out. Headed out to the main branch of the Seattle Public Library and Pioneer Square. We also managed to get some great sunset shots, that will be posted later.

Day 330: "Autumn leaves shower like gold, like rainbows, as the winds of change begin to blow." Dan Millman.

Continuing Foliage Friday with this golden beauty. I'm still seeing a lot of greens and a lot of foliage on trees, but folliage on the ground is what really gets me.

Day 323: "Autumn is the hardest season. The leaves are all falling, and they’re falling like they’re falling in love with the ground." - Andrea Gibson

I really like this leaf and picture. Took it a few weeks ago and placed it on the moss. I normally don't pose the photos. Most of the photos are taken where they fall. But I really wanted to show off some beautiful contrast amongst the colors.

Day 306: "An old building is like a show. You smell the soul of a building. And the building tells you how to redo it." - Cameron Mackintosh

Sometimes I feel just inspired to photos of old buildings around my work's neighborhood. Pioneer Square in Seattle is the city's oldest neighborhood with a lot of rich history. If these walls could talk, what would they say?

Day 304: “We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones.” — Stephen King

🎃

Technically this is a throwback, taken last year on Halloween for our COVID pod Halloween Party. It was just 4 of us.

My then roommate, , set up a lovely feast and made a grueling cake, all while dressed as fancy undead.

Day 303: "I always thought that cemeteries gave me some sense of perspective." - Lev Yilmaz

Since I moved to my current living situation, I had always wanted to do a photoshoot at the cemetery near my house. My friend, Miss Mandy Mourning, and I decided to plan one and got together one day. These are the results of the shoot.

Day 302: "Happily ever after is not a fairy tale. It's a choice." - Fawn Weaver.

This couple, Tony and Dennif are tying the knot today. While they had already planned the wedding and knew they were going to get married, Tony really wanted to still surprise Dennif with a proper proposal. So he called me and a few his friends up to help him propose. We hid behind trees, and waited for him to pop the question. While she already knew they would be spending the rest of their lives together, she was still surprised by his act of love.

Day 301: "Wherever there is life there is twist and mess" -Annie Dillard (Pilgrim at Tinker's Creek)

8 years ago when there was a political uproar in Turkey, people set out empty shoes to symbolize people who were injured who who had died during the early summer protests of 2013.

Some people filled shoews with dirt and budding trees, to show their desire and hope for opportunity, resurgance, and positivity.

Day 300: "Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree." - Emily Bronte.

I'm finding a lot of beauty in the autumn leaves. The change in colors, the way they cascade from the trees, the contrast they provide to boring black and grey pavements.

Day 299: "All walking is discovery. On foot we take the time to see things whole." - Hal Borland.

This is a photoshoot that I never got around to posting until now. This was before I purchased my Z6, and was renting one for a wedding just the day prior to these being taken. I fell in love with the camera and lens (24-70mm 1.8) immediately. No external flash was used for these photos.

Day 298: "Attend to mushrooms and all other things will answer up." - A. R. Ammons

There are plenty of mycology events in the area where I can go to a place indoors and see a whole bunch of mushrooms. But It's not as fascinating as finding mushrooms in the open.
