#1 offers a more robust visual experience than #2, i.e., a richer field of light trails converging in the distance. Implied exploration of horizons is a powerful theme, in which this image is fully ...

Shakespeare in Seattle. Original view usually best.

This was shot from the second deck of a Washington State ferry as it left Slip #2 at Colman Dock in Seattle. The yellow pulley wheels are part of a large mechanism which raises or lowers a vehicle ...

The vehicles seem nearly as intrusive as would be a clipboard-toting bureaucrat reciting zoning and construction regulations. I want to lean in.  Like the buildings. :-)

Animal, Vegetable, and Mineral in pleasing, proportional balance evoke the interdependent totality of a natural environment.  Too seldom our own species is seen in such environmental harmony. A ...

Thoughtless, with grace but without malice, Nature states its name:  Art. We are mere copyists, whether with paint, pencil, or chisel. Scott knows Art when he sees it, and fortunately for us -- shares.

These are strong incentive to activate my long-idle LX-7 for some local ferry duty, but it's rare to encounter such lens-friendly clouds -- and light -- on Puget Sound, especially from now 'til ...

Seattle. Original view recommended.

Most museum visitors exit through the gift shop.  This person seems to have started her visit there. I speculate:  In purchasing the coat she asked a friend, "Does this make me look flat?"  Friend ...

Not your neighborhood lemonade stand. When life gives you melons...sell them. Nearly everyone must dream of having a life better than their current situation. Can this vendor's dreams break through ...

Notwithstanding solid, normally reliable supporting 'scape elements in the frame (rocks, tree trunk, grass, color), the center scene disappoints. To my eye, the central actors fail to evoke a ...

Besides almost-mesmerizing visual appeal, this photo has something to say, and says it economically. What we need to do is always lean into the future; when the world changes around you and when it ...

A. B. While walking in Seattle, through a sidewalk-level window I noticed this sketcher in a cafe. When I stopped to look, he noticed the diminished light on his work and looked up at me. And ...

Designers of Christmas displays in big New York City department stores such as Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Sak's Fifth Avenue, etc., would give a lot to duplicate this scene in their holiday windows. ...

The image title invites viewers to consider the photo in context of Time, Permanence -- and by inference -- the Builder. I wouldn't consider this a calendar-type, or vacation-documenting type of ...

Below is my stab at ageing the scene, using PhotoScape, a basic PP program. The recipe: 1.  Rotate 1.5 degrees CW, to enhance a decrepit sag of the stair treads. 2.  Crop the right side to enhance ...

Usually best viewed in Original Size.

Of course, like others, I'm interested to see the intended-post version of this image. Meanwhile... The comic poignancy is delicious. The guard -- totally oblivious to any "statement" the chair art ...

Leaves and needles Fall. Water Falls. Even the land Falls, if only imperceptibly. The front-to-back view is effective, taking a viewer methodically through the main, complementary elements of the ...

I hadn't heard of Maroon Bells.  An internet search quickly dispelled my ignorance, and vividly explained the color reference. Here we have the beauty who actually doesn't need makeup.  Kind of ...
