The monorail is a pretty common subject, but I kinda liked how the EMP created a more abstract view of the monorail.
If you’ve never seen the EMP (Experience Music Project) in Seattle, it’s an interesting building positioned in the shadow of the Space Needle. The building itself provided me with several shots that seemed random at the time, but that I ultimately ended up liking. In case you missed it, the Space Needle is reflected in the sidewall of the EMP.
I boosted the colors, added a vignette, and adjusted the hue slightly to give it a sunny afternoon/evening feeling. I like the idea, but not sure this is anything I’d consider printing off.
For some reason, I just like this shot. It seems like a great desktop wall paper. The sun collecting behind the needle gives a extra-warm glow to this. The riveted sheet metal gives an industrial look to this. I dig it.
If you’ve ever driven down Airport Way in South Seattle then you could not have missed all of the crumbling buildings lining the street. This was one such building. With a stormy sky looming overhead, and the dilapidated building facade you’d think there was little interesting about such a setting.
After all, it’s pretty typical for South Seattle. For that reason, I love the addition of the dandelions. For an area of town that’s been the focus of renovation discussions, “South Seattle Wishes” seemed like the perfect title for this photo. What do you think?
