A Shadow. Seattle, Washington. September 8, ,2017. © Copyright 2017 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
A shadow falls across a Seattle sidewalk and roll-up door
In early September I had the opportunity to spend several days in the Seattle area. I was actually there on a sort of business — not photography related — but I did have enough spare time that I could do some photography, too. It turned out that I had two opportunities. On nearly the last time of the trip I managed the long drive to the North Cascades, where I photographed in the Mount Shuksan and Artist Point area for an afternoon. Before that I managed to head to downtown Seattle for a bout of street photography. This photograph comes from that visit.
When I do street photography I work in ways that are both related to my landscape photography and also different. In both cases I tend to only select general subjects ahead of time, preferring to head out and explore and see what I can find. In both cases I am looking not just for "depictions" of the subjects, but also for bits of visually interesting material that might stand on their own outside of the specific location context. Of course, I use different equipment — for street I leave the tripod behind and I work with a small camera, typically using one or two small prime lenses. As I walk, often slowly, I am attentive to what is around me. I am discrete with the camera, only lifting it in front of me when I make a photograph. I often spot something, make the photograph, and move on quickly. (Not always, though. Some subjects demand more patience or are worth a careful exploration.) I may photograph people, architecture, or fragments of the scene. This is one of those fragments, an odd shadow falling across the slightly warped geometry of the metal roll-up door, and offset by the tilting sidewalk below.

It's nearly the time of the year again when our club, The Potteries Omnibus Preservation Society, holds its compact but perfectly formed 'Potteries Connection' Running day. This coming Sunday, based at the Gladstone Pottery Museum in Longton Stone on Trent, we'll be running six hours or more of free bus serices with heritage and preserved motors. Connecting services will run from Stoke railway station and also from the City Centre in Hanley. On the same day, First Potteries will be holding a depot open day at their one remaining garage and works at Adderley Green and there'll be regular buses linking the two sites. So, it you're at a loose end, pop along and join in the fun!
You just roll them up...and they are ready to go!!! You should see children playing with those when I go to craft fair....they are all over the table...I'm going to take a picture of that next time :)
Smokers use tobacco regularly because they are addicted to nicotine. The public health toll of long term smoking is awful.
20 years ago Ireland was the first country to ban smoking in public bars and restaurants. It was seen at the time my many outside observers as impracticable, unenforceable and unfair on smokers and establishments that housed them! The smoking lobby and tobacco money cycled and amplified these arguments. But the ban was a massive success that improved these places for non-smokers and triggered smoking cessation in many smokers. Countries all over the world followed with similar legislation. Now it feels normal and good not to have indoor smoking. The idea of going back to how it was is unthinkable for most people.
Now in 2024, the UK has initiated legislation "Tobacco and Vapes Bill" for England that will *hopefully* progress irrespective of who wins the election to create the first smoke-free generation (and devolved nations have separate parallel legislative processes that are underway). Children age 14 and younger will never be allowed to smoke. Each year the minimum age of sale will be raised by one year each year to prevent future generations from ever taking up smoking. I think it is a great idea. We will see phrases like "draconian impingement on personal liberty" by tobacco funded voices and libertarian extremists but I am sure common sense will prevail.

As I was busting my little Hino FB apart I realized that I hadn't photographed the working rollup door in the back.
The outriggers support a nice bit of weight, but can be a bit fragile. The crane boom will support loads of weight, however the small area I had for the turntable means the whole thing snaps off somewhat easily. It can still manage to lift an average car though!

It was a happy coincidence when:
(1) my husband gave me a Carolyn Frielander Botanics Roll Up for Christmas,
(2) I joined a retreat at the 11th hour,
(3) I needed a pair of single bed quilts and
(4) I had on my quilt pattern to-do list, the Lawn Chair Quilts byMonica Solorio-Snow of Happy Zombie. Her Free pattern can be found on the Moda Bake Shop site www.modabakeshop.com/2010/09/lawn-chair-quilts.html
I like the Robert Kaufman rolls as they have straight cut edges - they are not pinked. My trusty bolt of Kona white went along to the retreat with me and I was able to happily cut, sew and piece and be very industrious while still socializing. With a few extra pieces from the Botanics line, I made two (60 x 85) single quilts. As a bonus I was able to use for binding, the off-cuts from the backing after quilting - love that thrifty use of the fabric.
Parallel quilting lines provided a clean and simple finish. I love the crisp freshness of the fabrics and Lawn Chair pattern.
it was a perfect retreat project while meeting my needs for new single bed quilts. Thanks Monica for designing and sharing the pattern via Moda Bake Shop!

i haven't seen many hoverflies yet this season. this one was in one of my favorite cambridgeport gardens and was hovering around a new pink zinnia today.
A mix of things today: asparagus & ricotta ravioli from last night, skewers of nitrite-free pepperoni and edamame, ham/cream cheese/pickle rollups, beetroot cubes with a carrot flower, and chopped strawberries with wheat germ.
She was starving today since she skipped snacks yesterday :)
ham and mozzarella rollups, onigiri with nori and sodium-free furikake, meatball, grape tomatoes, broccoli mashed potato balls, all topped with a happy yam.
*note to add: she ate the meatball and mash before her nap, and scarfed everything else after she woke up! Yay - success!
