Day 2 - Seattle, WA (38 images)

[Sonny]

Day two in Seattle was filled with some shopping, a 90 minute hike of the Seattle Underground Tour, and a few hours walking the Experience Music Project (EMP) & the Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame (SFM).




1. My wife said we should start shopping here. Anyone heard of this place?


2. Downtown Seattle has a plethora of alleys like this one begging to be used in a photoshoot.


3. The next 19 photos are from the Seattle Underground Tour.

Love the photos...love the gritty clarity of the underground shoot and the colors of the music project building are very cool. My faves are 2, 4, 10, 11, 15, 25, 29, 35, and 37. The underground ones that work best for me seem to be the ones with hallways leading away that have dark shadows and beams that provide more contrast and mystery for my eye.

Is the Spaceneedle in walking distance from Pikes Market ?
What is the Sky Church and why is Jimmie H there ?
Interesting underground stuff.

I am just picking through prints now, and no lie, had just hit my Seattle/Washington prints when Carrie posted and bumped this thread! Some of our shots are pretty darn close Sonny.
