My Girl Sings!

Nancy, whipping up a delicious Strata for Fathers Day! We had just returned from a cocktail party.

Kurt Lindsay 12/31/54 to 3/19/11

For Kurt

We spent a lot of time waiting for Polaroids

and fussing with shoelaces

and zippers and buttons

We spent a lot of time going up and down ladders

and ordering lunches

and moving things about

We spent a lot of time in a dark room at first

and later not at all

But we seldom had words

We spent a lot of time together

and I’ll miss that

and you

Business Card

My grandfather died of cancer when my mother was seven. He was a painter and paperhanger, which is obvious from his card. Check the phone number.

A Pause

As I recall on this day the boys were running around the front yard in hyper-speed. I asked them to pose for a picture, they paused on the front steps for roughly a second and I snapped this and they were off again.

Graham with his morning coffee.

I got up on a chair to shoot this in our dining room. Probably not setting a good example.

Window Washer

The windows at the studio being washed last Thursday.  Jenn and I were there doing some Capture One & Photoshop work.

Young Nols

I took a series of photos of Nolan, back in the day.  He was much more animated as a youngster.

Rick's Last Night at Il Bistro

We spent the evening at Il Bistro where we celebrated Rick's last night with good friends and drink.

bodyboard

While shooting a project at my studio I happened to notice the ironing board set up against a stack of particle board next to a dress form in, of all places, the bathroom. I seized on the moment and quickly photographed the event before anything moved. Here is the result for all to see.

Coffee Explosion.

I was trying to be Picasso.

Buster.

Buster lives with my friends the Holdermans. Kim, Catie & Steve.

Valentines Day Breakfast.

My Valentine and I had breakfast Sunday at Le Pichet downtown. Nancy had a Mimosa and I a Bloody Mary. OEufs plats, jambon et fromage for moi and Brioche and yogurt for mon amour. Tres bon!

A Seat in Hawaii.

Wouldn't it be nice to be sitting in this chair, enjoying a tropic breeze, with a Singapore Sling in hand?

Cedar Point

Here's another one from Cedar Point. My mom and I are back in the middle. Check those eyeglasses on Napoleon Dynamite's sister.

Jukebox

When I was a kid I was fascinated by jukeboxes (for you youngsters it's an early form of the iPod). This was taken at Cedar Point, an amusement park in Ohio. I'm pretty sure my parents had to drag me away screaming.

Hobson's Boots.

My son Hobson joined the Marines, to the dismay of his parents, right out of high school. He trained at Pendleton, near San Diego, then Virginia and then was stationed in Twenty-nine Palms. He did one seven month tour in Iraq which was one of the most grueling times of our lives. He's out now, married and lives close by. In fact he and I make beer together. Some of it has even been delicious.

Another Cover

Another LP from my collection. I like the cover and the music's not bad either. It's from 1961 and the liner notes include "Selig Furniture courtesy of Bloomingdale's. Clothes by Pantino, Inc."

Coffee Time

Love this album cover from my collection of vinyl. I guess because it reminds me of my childhood when my parents would have friends over for bridge club. The house would be loud with laughter and full of smoke. And always a record on the stereo console.

My ET4 X 4

This is my Vespa ET4 that I ride around Seattle on, sometimes even in the rain.

Laces Akimbo

I've already posted one of these photos but after putting it together with it's sisters thought I'd add it as a little story.
