Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in travel, style, and food. Hope you have a nice stay!
All in Photography
Once I saw that Comet NEOWISE was going to not only be visible but also somewhat bright, I figured it would be worth a look. And after seeing people’s photos, I knew I would try to find it. It took a couple of tries, but I finally saw it.
When the Seattle Times does its Pictures of the Year event, it's a must-see for us, and this year’s event a couple weeks ago was no exception. This year's presenters were Steve Ringman, Ramon Dompor, and Dean Rutz.
A while ago my dad let me scan some photos he had of his family from when he was young. The one I always go back to from 1936 has the most people, most of them old enough that I can easily tell who is who. I ran the picture through a colorizing service full well knowing it would be only a best guess at what colors went where. The result evoked a surprisingly strong reaction. I thought it would be appropriate to share since tomorrow would have been my grandparents' 107th wedding anniversary.
The 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing is getting a lot of deserved attention, and there is a lot of media coverage and documentaries. Even in just the past ten years, a lot of great items have shown up in various media forms.
I recently passed 1,000,000 views of my photos on Flickr. While the number doesn't really mean that much (it's surprisingly hard to know what a view is), it seemed like a good time to take a look at the ten photos which have gotten the most views on the site.
Every year the Seattle Times holds their Pictures of the Year event, not only celebrating favorite photos and videos for the previous year but also highlighting two staff members who can talk about not only the past year but the path which led them to their current career. This year the presenters were long-time photographer Alan Berner and videographer Corinne Chin.
Many things happen with the beginning of a new year, among them the Seattle Times' annual Pictures of the Year event at the Seattle Library. We've gone every year, and the event has become quite popular, completely filling the Microsoft Auditorium.
It's been a couple weeks since I finished my 2016 Project 366. That's a long stretch of daily photos, especially since all of them were taken with my main camera (meaning I carried it around daily).
December brought cold weather and a bit of travel, which made for good opportunities for photos for the last month of the year. The rest of the month's pictures are on the December page.
Our trip to Japan was half in October, half in November, so it's not surprising that a couple more photos from the trip made it into this month's favorite photos. You can see the rest on the November page. One more month to go.
This month's photos are a study in halves. Half of the month has been spent in Japan, and we're halfway through our trip. Here are my favorite photos for October. The rest of the photos from this month are on the October page.
The end of September is the three-quarters mark of the year. This month's photos included more photos which I would consider abstract, especially concentrating on small parts of a larger thing. All of the month's shots are on the September page.
August is complete, and with Labor Day coming up, we're quickly approaching autumn. This month's photos covered a lot of travel (a trip to Los Angeles and another one to Bellingham).
July was a busy month, and there were several opportunities for photos. Here are my favorites for the month; the rest are on the July page.
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).
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.
Another month is ending, so it's time to look back at this month's photos.
March is ending, and it's time to look back on this month's photos.
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.
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.
