We just got back from five days visiting B’s brother in Seattle. It was my first time in the city, and I really loved it. We walked around a ton while we were there, something I miss living in Durham. You can walk around your neighborhood, but unless you live downtown, there isn’t really any destination walking. or going for a lot of photo walks. And even downtown, you walk for maybe 45 minutes, you will see pretty much all there is to see. We wandered for hours and didn’t even come close to scratching the surface. I love walking around a city with my camera, it is such a good way to really see the city, especially the parts that can be overlooked easily.
I love shooting signs. I find them fascinating, and you can get a good flavor for an area based on the signs you find.
I am going to break my Seattle adventure into a few different blog posts, starting with signs that caught my eye.
Yes they are, so much so that I want to do it as my job.
Seattle is a big foodie city. And even better, it is a city where it is relatively easy to feed a gluten-free, dairy-free, more vegetarian than not girl.
Shot with the 35mm lens, no flash. I love the lighting. But yeah, I also love the sign that says Rub Me.
Ha! I just liked this, although I admit I don’t know…are regular utensils designed for right-hand use? Most of what I have doesn’t seem to specific to one hand or the other.
Down below Pike’s Place.
Congratulations? This would never have been something I would have thought to aspire to.
What can I say? I thought it was funny and witty. And the other side reads Happy Spanksgiving. Ha!
Absolutely. What’s the point if you don’t?
If I were in Seattle, this would be my coffee shop. It looks like a coffee shop for spies. I would go in every time with my finger gun and walking all spy-like to the music from Mission Impossible. It might even be required to do that.
Other than “very carefully,” you have to admit you are curious.
I always do, Mr. Sign. I always do.
