Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in travel, style, and food. Hope you have a nice stay!
Fame is both fleeting and fickle. It's some sort of combination of hard work and luck, the exact combination being different for everyone. One's rise can be slow or meteoric. And you only have a little control over how long you stay (or how many times you rise). Knowing all that, it's still exciting to see people get their chance.
The year is about half over, but I still ended up with quite a few flowers in the June pictures. Trees are making more of an appearance (especially the birches which we had cut down).
After over a quarter decade, my parents and aunt retired from the art supply business this week. It's hard to imagine them not going to the store full time, but at ages 80, 84, and 89, it seems amazing that this was their encore careers.
We found out last month that the two birch trees in our back yard were infested with the bronze birch borer, so we had to decide what to do about them. They came down today, and it's surprising how much that changes our yard.
We still had a lot of flowers in bloom this month, so there were a lot of blossom shots for May's pictures. I tried to do more architecture, however, as well as photos which showed what's going on in the city.
Today was the first Seattle Ice Cream Festival, so Melody and I decided to check it out, grabbing lunch beforehand.
Another month is ending, so it's time to look back at this month's photos.
Seems it's becoming a “thing” for me to record myself playing the piano for my mom's birthday. That day is today, so here's this year's installment, the Adagio movement of Beethoven's Pathétique sonata.
March is ending, and it's time to look back on this month's photos.
I only met Don Nakanishi a couple times, but the first time we met (for only an hour or so) he very nearly changed the course of my entire adult life. He passed away early this week.
After several years of waiting, the new Sound Transit Link Light Rail stations by Husky Stadium and on Capitol Hill are now open. There was quite a bit of fanfare this weekend, and Melody and I went to scope things out and ride the new segments.
Seattle's King Street Station is where we usually go when we take a train trip, but until now you could only go through the main floor and the mezzanine. Just recently, the top floor has been converted to an art space, where the first exhibit is Giant Steps: Artist Residency on the Moon.
I’ve never really felt comfortable with public speaking, but I’ve done enough presentations and toasts that I've worked out how to cope with the process. They've all been small-time gigs, for sure.
I'm fortunate to not have color blindness (that I know of), but it's still interesting to know more about what it is, and once you realize that, how you can give people a workaround for certain kinds of color blindness.
This is the last day of February (and the day which made this a Project 366 rather than 365), so it's time to look back on the month's photos.
King County Metro is testing all-electric buses in the Eastside, with hopes to use them to increase transit service without increasing greenhouse emissions.
I saw an article in the Seattle Times about the UW regents voting to demolish the More Hall Annex. This decision is controversial, and the building itself is far from usual.
The first month of the year is done, and it's time to look back at the first month of photos for my Project 366. You can view them on the January page.
As we have for the past several years, Melody and I went to the annual Seattle Times 2015 Pictures of the Year presentation, which continues to be a fun event.
