A deciduous tree of some species against the backdrop of the Frank Gehry-designed Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle. Digital infrared with Sigma Quattro SD (IR Cut filter removed), Sigma 30/1.4 ART lens, and Hoya R72 filter.

The Columbia Tower is the tallest building in Seattle. Indeed, it is the tallest in all of Washington state. It reaches into the sky some 933 feet. However, it's only the 41st tallest in the USA. I submitted a few images to Black & White Magazine last year and three were selected and...

On 2nd Street in Seattle. As you can see the descending darkness overwhelmed my ability to hold the camera steady for the exposure time required. Nevertheless it's an image that holds some appeal for me. Olympus XA and Fomapan 400 film processed in Rodinal.

Madrona Park. Seattle, Washington. Holga 120N with Fomapan 400 film processed in Rodinal.

There is a small pedestrian bridge at South Lake Union Park in Seattle and one evening late last year this fellow stood on the crest of one of the arches making ready to jump. The drop isn't far,...maybe 10 or 15 feet to the water,...but the fellow couldn't work up the courage to jump. At least...

At the Aurora Avenue underpass. Olympus XA2 with Fomapan 400 film. Rodinal developer.

It's Aurora Avenue in Seattle. While living in Seattle for 6 months I had no facility to process film (all my stuff was in storage). Now that I've moved on from Seattle I've gotten my stuff out of storage and a couple of weeks ago I processed some film that I shot there. I'll probably post a...

When I first saw this image I immediately thought of Fritz Lang's sci-fi classic Metropolis. It's the Nexus building in Seattle. Infrared with Sigma Quattro Sd, Sigma 30/1.4 and Hoya R72 filter.

This lighthouse is located in Discovery Park in Seattle. It has been in service since 1881 I believe, and is still a working lighthouse today. Infrared with Sigma Quattro Sd, Sigma 30/1.4 and Hoya R72 filter.

Seattle. Infrared with Sigma SD Quattro, Sigma 30/1.4 and Hoya R72 filter.

Crazy reflections enhanced by the infrared light. Sigma Quattro SD with Sigma 30/1.4 and Hoya R72 filter.

For some years Seattle has been a hotbed of construction and I find the cranes that facilitate the builds to be very interesting things. There must be hundreds of them at work in the city on any given day. Here's just one.

I made this shot while visiting Discovery Park in Seattle. Infrared with Sigma Quattro SD with Sigma 30/1.4 Art lens and Hoya R72 filter.

I may have posted this one before. If I have don't bother looking if you don't want to. ;) The central library was opened in 2004. I think I shot this image about three years ago. Olympus OM2n with Kodak Gold 200 film.

A continuation of a series of high rises shot in infrared monochrome. Sigma Quattro SD, Sigma Art 30/1.4, Hoya R72 filter.

Former military housing at Discovery Park in Seattle, Washington. This picture holds appeal for me that I cannot fully define. I like the angles (porch shadow, roof line, etc.) but otherwise it is mundane I think. Yet somehow it appeals. (To me at least.) Critiques welcome. Infrared with...

On sunny days I've been shooting a lot of infrared monochrome images lately. This is image number 5 of a grain elevator adjacent to Centennial Park in Seattle. (I humour myself by calling the series a "study;" I was simply on a stroll and tried to achieve some interesting angles that contrasted...

Gasworks Park, Seattle. Olympus OM2n and Kodak Gold 400 film.

The Seattle Central Library was designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and was opened in 2004. It's a magnificent building. Olympus OM2n with Kodak Gold 400 film.
