“The Afternoon Edition” is a series of collections of images shot while walking around on a break from work. I have four so far, one for each of the neighborhoods I have explored while working various jobs over the last three or four years. This is a house near the Temescal neighborhood in Oakland, CA, a Spanish-style home with tile roof and this church-like window. I almost think it looks like a MacGregor, a legendary developer in Albany in the early 20th century.
We finally made a terribly overdue visit to dear friends in Seattle. It is bad enough that we hadn’t made it there in about four years, but worse still, we missed the celebration of a significant anniversary. So a couple of days before school started, off we went, squeezing in one last get-away for the summer. At least we know enough to go in late Summer when one is as guaranteed as one can be in Seattle of clear skies. And clear skies is just what we had for four beautiful days.
As you can see from this, the first picture I took after arriving in the emerald city, the interiors aren’t bad either. That’s what you get with artist friends. In fact, the whole trip was a stunning reminder of what I miss about living here — the abundant creativity and aesthetic sensibility falling like rain, soaking everything.
