Seattle | Days 3-5

I'm still super-digging Seattle.  I've seen a bit more of the city and even the slightly further-out areas seem interesting and cool.  I've eaten a ton more delicious food and plan to spend my last day here wandering around the city.  But wanted to hop on here and share a few more images from my travels thus far. First up - a handful of scenes from the Underground Tour.  Of all the tourist options available, I was glad my colleagues chose this one.  I'm not much for riding a giant "duck" around. sign from underground tour, seattle underground tour stuff diptych The St. James Cathedral on Capitol Hill was pretty cool and had these massive yellow and red streamers flowing from the central skylight.  We later learned that these represent fire - in your soul or something.  I'm not big on Catholic lore either. virgin mary in the st. james cathedral ribbon flames at the st. james cathedral, seattle Right next to the cathedral is the Frye Art Museum, which had one of the most interesting art displays I've seen. coworker in the frye art museum, seattle And, of course, some scenes from the Pike's Place Market. guy cleaning umbrella with fish water boxes at pike place market Finally, this is what I do for a living when I'm not photographing weddings - hanging out on these massive vessels.  I fly around the country taking pictures and writing stories about the guys that run these things.  I'm not always on the road - most of the time I work out of an office in DC - but often enough I get to go "on assignment" and photograph some ships.  It's pretty sweet. tug with vessel in seattle cruise ship in seattle waters

Seattle: Days 1 & 2

I am enjoying the hell out of Seattle.  I think I might want to move here and spend all day shopping at bohemian markets, laughing at kids walking around in Nirvana shirts and eating delectable foods.  Big wedding photography market in Seattle?  Anyway, as food is always the most important thing to me in a place, I'll just go ahead and list the restaurants where I've eaten.  Almost every dish I've eaten here has been excellent: Le Pichet, Lecosho, Matt's in the Market.  I look forward to tasting the recommendations from my bartender at Lecosho.  Loooooving this city! Some images from the last two days.  I haven't done my major wandering/street photography, so hopefully there will be a lot more to come. sunset at the pike's place market to the market sign with guy in seattle stick on the ground in seattle This is a nail salon.  And yes, those hands are definitely supposed to represent hands trapped in prison.  How creepy is this?  Wonderful!  I dig how the red wall in the salon makes this look like film that was damaged in development. nail salon with prison hands self-portrait
