My eyes were tired and glazing over from surfing Flickr on the library's high-speed internet so I stepped outside and found a photo-opportunity sunset to stretch my weary retinas!

All of the metal framing in this photo is the same color. The difference in this photo is due to the red street light nearby.

A view of the staircase in the Seattle Public Library. If you haven't been I highly recommend, just for the architecture.

Tour of the brilliant Seattle Public Library for the members of the Academic Business Library Directors during our meeting at the University of Washington. The tour was led by Jay Lyman, a librarian at the Seattle Public Library. Love this building, and was so happy to be able to visit it and get a great tour. Taken on Thursday May 10th, 2018.
All the escalators in the Seattle Central Public Library are bright, neon yellow. I'm actually kneeling on the escalator to get this perspective. A sneaky shot catches this time traveler who appears to be bracing for an upcoming curve, but it never materializes. :)

This family was waiting for an elevator on the red floor at the Seattle Public Library. There were several stairways in the vicinity, but it would not surprise me if they felt disoriented by the intense red environment.

I haven't posted in a couple of days as I have been kept pretty busy, but I'm popping on here to give a shout out to Photo Club PDX, a local photography club here in Portland, that is organizing a photo outing up to the Seattle Public Library at the end of this month (Saturday, July 27th to be exact). They have actually rented out an hour of the library's time after hours, so they are going to get to go in and have full run of the building, tripods and all. Most trips up to Seattle that I make, I try to include a stop here. The building has some amazing architecture, it is immense both in size and its collection of books, I can easily spend hours wandering it's sloped ramp that runs from one floor to the next like I am on an Escher stairwell to infinity.
I haven't given Photo Club PDX its due on here, which is really my fault and the distracted nature under which I have been squeezing these posts in. But they are about a year and a half old now and have built a really cool community of photographers, young and old, veteran and new, landscapers and portraitists. It's a good group and I have been a part of it since the beginning watching them grow month by month.
Anyway, this outing is directed mostly toward club members, but is open to non-members and the public as well. There is a group limit, and non-members have a fee of $30 (it costs a decent amount to rent a library after hours, after all) but considering the opportunity, it will be well worth it and a lot of fun. So if this sounds interesting to you, hit up Photo Club's website (www.photoclubpdx.com/events/seattle-library-outing) and get signed up. If you know any Portland or Seattle area photographers that might be interested, let them know as well!

when I enlarged this photo, i was able to make out (on the backpack on the table) one of those guy fawkes/hope posters which originally seemed very much like a democratic party effort to co-opt the non-partisan occupy wall street movement. the artist, shephard fairey, revised his design after complaints by OWS activists. you can read about the poster here:
