This is the remains of the concrete snowshed that was build near Wellington after an avalanche clobbered nearly a hundred people (and a train) back in 1910.

While I am as straight as the day is long, (assuming it's summer and not winter solstice or something), I do enjoy going down to Gay Pride. It's got a good, happy energy about it, a parade that I can get behind - and of course great costumes!
The wall of the porn shop just up the street has the cool two-tone paint job. The Cigar shop right next door also has a cool contrasting paint job and I thought the three colors looked good together.
The Giving Tree at Mud Bay Pet Store was covered in tags for poor homeless dogs and cats who had to spend Christmas without families.
While I can't save them all, I could at least make Brighton the Cat's holiday a little more happy with some toys and special kibbles.

And Seattle's skies get just a bit grayer as JP Patches passed away on Sunday. If you grew up in the golden age of television, as late a the mid eighties, odds are you had someone like this in your life - someone like Howdy Doody, or Bozo the Clown or Captain Kangaroo would be the closest analog, at least on a national level - but JP was different. He interacted with his audience. He'd regularly gave shout outs over the ICU2 Television, you could actually meet him at Seafair along with the pirates, and his work with Seattle’s Children’s Hospital was legendary - and he did it for something like 30 years in the Pacific Northwest.
But he was more than that. He was. . . special.
It was towards end of the nineties some 15 years after JP left the airwaves, a Soundgarden concert was playing in Key Arena. The opening act had just finished up, and the audience was getting a bit too rowdy - when JP swooped in like a greased painted patriarch - and the crowd instantly settled down like good little Patches Pals. Such was the power of the clown. Even now, with his show off the air longer than it was on, JP was still doing birthdays and appearances and holding court to massive crowds.
Fifty years from now the term "Patches Pal" won't have much meaning - and we'll all be the worse for it. But for now, it still means something. If you're a Patches Pal (or heavens forbid, - a Boris Buddy) it means you're from there. It's the Puget Sound litmus test for Northwest natives. It's a label for those who remember Seattle before grunge, Starbucks and the dot.com crash.
Patches Pals can tell you what it was like to drive from Lynnwood to downtown Seattle in twenty minutes. At rush hour. Patches Pals remember the box the Space Needle came in, and how it ruined the skyline. They remember Dags, Whitefront, and Hansen's Sunbeam Bread. They remember when the Miss Budweiser wasn't forced to race with one propeller tied behind its back, and the contests between her and the Miss Pay 'n Pak were so close a boat owner on the log-boom might not even notice if he ran out of beer. Being a Patches Pal means you grew up with a role model who never once held out for a contract extension or threatened to move to another city.
Being a Patches Pal is a badge of honor that no one gave to you but yourself.
So I forced myself to wake up early for this shot. I set up my tripod in the middle of the street and a guy in a motorcycle asks me if I'm shooting for the local TV station.

My new Revoltech Lupin III figure in close-up. These things are awesome - loads of articulation and accessories. Really nice bits of work - sadly no Goemon, Fujiko or Zenigata yet . . .

And once again, the world becomes obsessed with a sport that 2/3rds of America couldn't care any less about if they tried: THE WORLD CUP!
Ok, first roll with the new Yashica A. Mark Hama did a bang up job on getting this baby ready for battle and of course me being used to the rollei, forgot to crank the film for oh, about 6 shots... The resulting first frame was real washed out, i dialed down the exposure on my scanner as much as possible then upped the blacks in Adobe so you can actually see what the six frames were. I kind of dig it. Maybe I will shoot 6 frames per shot from now on... heh.

Went and shot some native Americans doing dancey-stuff at their pow-wow. I loved the traditional Indian gear and the ray-bans.

E100VS is a very nicely saturated film I find. Too bad I didn't get to try it at sunset like Chris told me to, but that shall be my next objective! As well as buying a F3HP.
