Scenes from Pike Place

This is a yearlong project that I started a month ago, so what you're seeing is the early stages of a work in progress. Having a due date made me spend some time thinking about what I ultimately want this to be, so thanks for that.

The really irritating thing about Flickr is they keep changing their UI in ways that make the text disappear. There's actually stuff written for many of the photos. Read it, don't read it, whatever. But it's there to be read, if you desire...

Thanks Don/Cory for the challenge not sure this qualifies, because it is not new. Maybe a sequel in the future.
Edited for comment.

‘Five Seasons of Walter White’

This essay draws parallels between Breaking Bad’s Walter White, and William Shakespeare’s Macbeth.

Shot and processed entirely with iPhone, using in-camera double exposures of portions of the DVD cover artwork.



You can view a one-click slide show of this series here.

I am not interested in competing for the prize, but thanks to Cory all the same, and to Don for conceiving and promoting this excellent project. I hope to make comments on every entry, once a forum for doing that has been announced by Don.

Thanks Don and Cory for another fun project.

I now have a folder on the left of the image page which you can click through after you have picked the first image. Much nicer way to view. Thanks Mariuca.

People and the Portland Bridges:

Disclaimer: Doing this just for fun/sharing. No competition/prize for this participant.
Plus, these are not new images (long term project)

Background:
20 months ago, I moved to Portland from Seattle. One of the most engaging components of the town are the various bridges up and down the Willamette River.
There have been essays by others regarding these bridges, so in that respect this isn't new ground. However, I attempted to convey some interaction with the citizens using the various bridges as backdrops.
This is an ongoing study--new photos of the same bridge are replaced and many, many bridges are still missing.

You can click on each bridge to know its name.
Hope you enjoy it. This is what is known by the locals as Bridge City:

I had fun doing it. I'm having more fun looking at what everyone else did.

This essay is about the resilience of people (mostly tourists in the Times Square area) on one cold morning in NYC when the polar vortex dropped the morning temperature to 4 degrees Farenheit, the lowest in 100 yrs. The last shot is morning the day after, when temperature rose to a balmy 7 deg.

first there is a mountain ... then there is no mountain ... then there is

This is a photo essay on the meditative properties of photography, & especially post-processing.

[eta] Not competing for the prize, but big thanks to Cory for offering it.

"Red Right Hand"




You'll see him in your nightmares,
you'll see him in your dreams
He'll appear out of nowhere but
he ain't what he seems
You'll see him in your head,
on the TV screen
And hey buddy, I'm warning
you to turn it off
He's a ghost, he's a god,
he's a man, he's a guru
You're one microscopic cog
in his catastrophic plan
Designed and directed by
his red right hand


"Red Right Hand" Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds 1994
