Week 4 | A Year on Film: 52 Rolls in 52 Weeks

Week 4 | A Year on Film: 52 Rolls in 52 Weeks

West Seattle, Seattle, WA

Right after I posted the photos from Week 3, I walked outside to take a quick break for the computer and saw there was a classic car show on California Avenue one block north. As a child, one of the events I enjoyed most was going to Fair Park to watch the Grambling vs. Prairie View A&M football game. I looked forward to the battle of the bands (I used to want to be a drum major in the Grambling band so I could dance during halftime) and the car show. I don’t know what it is, but I’ve always appreciated a beautiful, well-made automobile. The subject for week 4 became readily apparent when I walked outside and saw all of these classics lined up. It also reminded me I need to get out more.

I think this was one of my most popular photos ever on Instagram. Image taken with Mamiya RB67 + Fujifilm Acros Neopan 100 and developed in Ilford Ilfosol 3.

Week 2 | A Year on Film: 52 Rolls in 52 Weeks

Alki Beach, West Seattle, WA

When I first moved to West Seattle almost a year ago, I learned how beautiful it is to run down the beach. I enjoy it most when it’s relatively quiet, so I find myself running either very early in the morning or very late at night. Every time I run by the water, I find myself in awe by the the Seattle skyline on the other side. To me, it’s most beautiful at night when only the lights and the outlines of the buildings are visible. For week two of the “Year on Film” project, I decided to set up on a pier and make a photograph that shows the skyline and where I stood at the same time. I hope you enjoy. Some of these images I’m using to create desktop wallpapers you can download for free.

It's Finally Time For The West Seattle Cash Mob at Village Green

 

To all of you planning on coming out to West Seattle to support Village Green…thank you. By sharing our time, experiences, and dollars, we are doing more than infusing a locally owned and operated business with cash. We are making a clear statement that we value our small businesses, our community, and ourselves.
The first time I met Vera, I knew there was something special about her. Before learning about her fight for fair banking practices, her dedication to her communities, and her activism, I knew she was a special type of individual.

This weekend, we join forces. This weekend, we make a difference.

 

Logistics:
* Pleas arrive at Village Green just before 2:00. This way we can enter the nursery in a group and have a large presence.
* While there, try to speak with at least two (2) people you don’t already know.
* If you have any questions, feel free to call me at 214.609.0151.
* At 4:00, those who wish should head over to the after party at Company Bar.
* Twitter hashtag = #SeaCashMob
* Have fun!

Mile 3

It felt so good to hit the streets and run again. There’s something about lacing up the running shoes, stepping outside, and putting feet to pavement that helps me see the beauty in everything around me. There was no particular path I planned to take, no specific distance I needed to cover (well, I wanted to hit at least three miles), no time goals… Just run I told myself. Just run…This is what I saw at mile 3.
