Street Cred...Finally

Untitled, originally uploaded by Hollingsworth.

After seeing shiny happy Prius cars running around the Pacific Northwest for so many years, It's nice to finally see one that has been pounded and repaired. Primer on a Prius? I never imagined it until now.

This one appears to have the color a ex-taxi cab, or at least one that will be back to trawling the streets after new paint is applied.

It finally has some street cred.

The Poor Kalakala

It's a ship that is always on the verge of doom.

The old Kalakala ferry is currently taking on water and listing to the side in a Tacoma waterway. This photo, taken over Lake Union in 2004 by SoggyDan, shows the Kalaka at rest in one if its other spots where it awaited repairs that never came.

About ten years ago I toured the Kalakala when it was in this spot with my car club. We visited every deck, including the engine room. The boat had a particular smell, an unusual mix of diesel and history.

Is the end near for the Silver Slug? It could very well be. So so sad.

The Colors of Sunset

I love slow shutter shots; ones like this not only highlight the beautiful colors of the sunset but also the action of a dynamic society on the move. Cars in motion, but caught in time.

Perfect.

Snoqualmie Falls - Nov 2008

Snoqualmie Falls HDR, originally uploaded by Ahren D.

Fall foliage this year has been in full force. Many people I know have mentioned how colorful the season has been. Because the reds, yellows, and oranges have been hanging around longer, photographers have been able to capture the season more.

Ahren D took this on November 2, 2008. HDR combines multiple shots - with each taken at a different exposure level - into one shot that uses the best from each shot. While this technique has been around for decades, digital photography brought it into the mainstream because many DSLRs have the ability to take multiple shots of the same scene with one click.

This remains one of my favorite fall photos, especially with the dark clouds above the water. In my opinion, this photo is a great one to learn from.
