At periodic meetings for an org that I attend, they are usually very good at taking care of us vegans. However, this was the best that a Dallas Hilton could come up with this week. 😂 I assume the UnSweet is the vegan part (healthy is woke?). I dunno. The disdainful quote marks are the best part.

A sign from a Dallas Hilton meeting buffet saying “UnSweet Iced Tea “Vegan.”

SLOW DOWN. Dis guy pulled up and stopped with blinkers on forever, ruining my concept, so I made him a part of it. #Photography #ClassicMono #Seattle #Cars

Some things that caught my eye on Tuesday. Busted and then rewarded with a pose. 😂 #Photography #ClassicMono #Seattle

B&W image of a man and woman passing a graffiti-covered, grungy building in Seattle's Capitol Hill in October, 2025. The woman noticed the photographer and struck a theatric pose with a smile.

One that I forgot the process from Tuesday, but definitely an #UrbanGaze. #Photography #ClassicMono #Seattle

B&W image of a man walking a dalmation or dalmatian mix dog at the intersection of Union St. and Broadway Ct. in Seattle. He is walking past a restaurant with broad windows showing diners inside. The scene is backlit by the late afternoon sun. There are classic brick buildings in the background across the street, along with a bit of an apartment building on the upper right edge.

I saw something about a #WindowsOnWednesdays tag, which reminded me of this one from July, 2014. This has changed a lot; I was walking by this spot yesterday. Sorry about the odd toning; I don't know what I was doing there. #Photography #ClassicMono (sort of 🤣) #Seattle

Monochrome image of a set of paned windows in a block building wall with scrappy plants partly in front and utility wires running above the windows. a 6-pane block of windows is open to the interior, which is some kind of work space. Taken in July 2014, Seattle.

It's been rainy or at least cloudy for most of a couple weeks, but every time I get to wander around Seattle, it is sunny with featureless blue skies. Sigh. Give me some rain and gloom! 😂 #Photography #ClassicMono #Seattle #CapitolHill

B&W image looking upward toware a brick building and apartment building with large-scale wall art against a clear sky background with strong shadows cast by the trees and utility poles and wires.

Happy #ColorADay #RedWed! The dahlias are being cut down and the tubers lifted when I visited yesterday. #Photography #Flower #Dahlia #VolunteerPark #Seattle

I though sure I'd shared this one earlier, but apparently not. It is a recent favorite. #Photography #ClassicMono #Seattle #CapitolHill #Urban #Street

B&W image of a person leaning against an old, somewhat grungy stone building in Seattle with a large mural for "CAPITOL HILL BLOCK PARTY" applied to the wall behind.

This single frame from September was kind of cool. The dahlia in the background looks like a reflection in a pond or something. #Photography #ColorADay #PinkMon #Dahlia #Flower #VolunteerPark #Seattle

Pink and white dahlia with tinges of yellow toward the center, partially opened, against a blurred background with another similar dahlia looking like a blurred reflection of the subject, and all against a green blurred foliage background. A single frame with a 75mm lens at f/1.8 using extension tubes.

Helpful storage hint: if your closet or your linen closet is too full, consider storing your excess items right in the window. An added benefit is that the stuff that’s been stuffed in the window will help keep the cold winter drafts out of your house! San Jon, New Mexico photographed 8.31.2025

Another environmental dahlia portraits. Of all the lens combinations that I've tried this year, this may be my favorite (40mm + diopters). #Photography #Flower #Dahlia #VolunteerPark #Seattle

Pink compound dahlia with hints of yellow toward the center set in a bokeh foliage background with a view other pink out of focus flowers.

Dunno what #AnimalArtTuesday is, but this one has been sitting in my backlog since Stockholm, and I kind of like it. I heard there are still a few bears around up there despite Europeans' best efforts to kill off every living animal over the centuries. #Photography #Stockholm

Red mother and cub bear semi-abstract sculptures in a Stockholm park, viewed through the bars of a pattinaed railing from above. They are sitting on an elevated boardwalk around the park.

I don't usually share old work, but this 2013 image seems to fit #BlueSkyArtShow #glow and #ColorADay #GreenSat. Taken when @alex-kunz.com and I were driving through Oregon in May, 2013, when I moved to Seattle. Moss like this is so beautiful, but very hard to capture. #Photography #Trees #Moss

Crossing tree branches, covered in heavy moss and backlit with glowy light. Taken in Oregon, May, 2013.
