the Stranger likes to give me challenging assignments, and being a glutton for adventure i’ll always oblige. for this assignment they asked for an overhead shot of a construction site to feature on the cover. i decided to put a shout on facebook to see who could help me find a location, and a friend offered his building as a spot. so i hopped the lightrail downtown and found myself ascending to the top of the Viktoria building, a stylish condo in the heart of belltown. as i stepped out onto their rooftop patio on the 24th floor, my fear of heights started to kick in. i was practically crawling towards the rail (which i swear wasn’t taller than my navel), and managed to reach over the ledge to get a clear shot of the crane perched above the city. very glad i brought my fisheye lens to really capture the whole scene. to read more about the cover and article in the Stranger, visit here: http://www.thestranger.com/issues/21563013/2015-01-28
i’m not much a christmas fan, but watching the end of the Nutcracker performance instantly put me in the mood. and the score from tchaikovsky is stunning…some of my most favorite classical music. this was the final production of the Nutcracker at the Pacific Northwest Ballet featuring the famous (and infamous) set design pieces created by Maurice Sendak, and choreographed by Kent Stowell. they asked me to photograph the end of the performance, but more importantly the breakdown of the massive set pieces (an amazing orchestration all by itself), and the crating and storing of all the costumes and decor. to read more about this story, please visit the Stranger article at: http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2015/01/08/rest-in-pieces-scenes-from-the-permanent-tear-down-of-the-sendakstowell-nutcracker
