Clenched!

Clenched teeth and pulsating neurons,
sunrise of a restless sleep.
My subconscious a playground of darkness.

Kite!

Pickle was more interested in the new solar light I was using for lighting than the fish. I was finally able to coax her to lay down, but of course she wouldn’t look at me.

Diane – #11 of 100

I met Diane while she was spinning at the Olympia Farmers Market. She had to concentrate on her work, and wasn’t able to chat too much. I simply asked if I could take her picture, and she agreed.

So, far I’ve had better experiences if I simply ask if I can take a photo. Then, having the100 Strangers project as back up if I’m denied or asked why I would want to take a photo. I’m very thankful I haven’t been turned down yet. I’m sure if will come in time.

Brynn & Don are number 8 in my 100 Strangers quest. This a was very difficult event to find a 100 stranger. The convention center was jam packed full of people, and the lighting horrid. However, I just couldn’t go home empty handed.

Brynn and Don are members of the Ocean Shores Pirates, a local civic group that helps at fund raising events. They were out at the Ocean Shores Razor Clam Festival this weekend with raffle items to help support the food bank.

Friday Night, It’s Alright.

I honestly haven’t been trying to avoid the whole blogging thing, but I find that I’ve been spending my time doing other things while on the computer.

Anyway- here is a shot of the Hoquiam River Bridge from a Friday evening walk. We spent the evening at at the Harbor Art Guild Spring Art Opening, trying out the new BBQ joint, and grabbing a treat at the local sweet shop. Saturday was spent at the Grays Harbor Expo & Bite of Grays Harbor, which is always a fun little event. Sunday we headed out to Grayland for the Driftwood Festival.

This weekend is the Daffodil Festival and the Razor Clam Festival. FUN! I’ll have to try to get more 100 strangers for my project. I’ve been slacking.

#7 of 100 Strangers

I met Helen (third from the left) and the Rock Hounds at the Beachcombers Fun Fair in Ocean Shores. They are a group of local rock and gem enthusiasts.

My vision was to have them stand in a line with their arms crossed and their matching vests. I was trying to go for the scary biker gang look. However, it didn’t quite get translated to everyone that well, but it was still a lot of fun. Bill, on the left, got the idea real well. He looks scary with broken arm.

They wanted me to mention the Grays Harbor Gem & Geology Society Rock & Gem Show will take place in Elma, WA on April 26-27, 2009.

Najim & Josh #6-100 Strangers

I was at the University of Washington on Friday for a quick visit. As I was walking to the quad I noticed these two guys smoking a hookah. It’s not something you typically see in Seattle. They were pretty agreeable, but they seemed just as nervous about the whole interaction as I was. I simply settled for one shot, thanked them and moved on. I need to start taking multiple shots.
