Photography Has Changed Me
Old Town Alley The dream to be a professional photographer faded many years ago. I find it interesting that when I eliminated the word professional I began to really be a photographer. Photography began to be a part of me, something I needed to partake of on a regular basis. It began to change something within me, opening my eyes and really see the world around me, whether that’s photographing a sunset or a walk through an alley in my neighborhood. I continuously look for “the more” and find it to be a wonderful process and journey. Yes, photography has changed me.

Tickling the Ivory
Street Musican in Old Town This past week I encountered three young people in Old Town enjoying a jam session. One young man was on the piano and the other two were playing guitars and singing. I just stood there and listened to their music with no intent to shoot. I finally took five shots then moved on. This image reminds me of Johnny Hahn who has played the piano at Pikes Market in Seattle for years. We need artists like this in our world who work at their craft for the love of it not the popularity and money.

Early Morning in Old Town
Early Morning in Old Town Rising early is not for everyone. Yet, I enjoy being out and about as the sun breaks the horizon and shows off its colors. Right after that show the sun casts these wonderful shadows. It’s this photographers special time of day.
