I was lucky enough to catch this shot as I was going across the Burnside Bridge (westbound) yesterday. Can you see the 3 workers climbing around the wrungs of the sign to install more letters?

night of chill music at the Doug Fir
What a great night we had last night with friends at the Doug Fir. Shoeshine Blue set the mood to “chill-zone”. They are super mellow, folk, Bob Dylan type band. I really like them! The other band, Peter Bernhard jammed out to some up-beat Paul Simon type tunes. Rad rad rad!
Doug Fir, I think I luuuuuuuuuv you.
the curtain
It seems that lately I’ve been frequenting the Doug Fir. I like that place. I like the bar lounge. The fire place keeps me warm. The fir pit outside makes for a hipster huddle space for late night gigs. The couches are cozy. The lincoln log interior walls take me to a memory set somewhere in Tahoe or Reno. The bathrooms are a trip with wall to wall, floor to ceiling, gold-speckled mirrors. The restaurant reminds me of an ol Denny’s or Shari’s late night melting pot. The lounge downstairs has a cool atmosphere where all the bands play. And for some reason, each time I’m at the Doug Fir I end up tripping out on this curtain. Too bad it wouldn’t go with the decor in my house.
elephant’s
I had my first event photo shoot last night. The event was for a non profit that I’ve been volunteering for called Step It Up, Inc. It was held at Elephant’s Deli on 23rd and NW Burnside.
Capturing the faces and event was a bit challenging because of the night time, indoor, low lighting. I think I was able to grab a few.
It’s funny how I once was a ham in front of the camera, now I’m a geek behind the camera. Love it!
