i’ve gotten a wee bit behind… it might have been the over 700 images from the vogue show. here’s my images of the designers of shipley & halmos, such cool, social guys. always nice to meet the people behind the product. for a very nice write up, click here. to see their suit featured in vogue for fashion night out (congrats!) click here.
stylish events – shipley & halmos – downtown seattle
many many apologies for the light posting this week. on top of working… there’s been a number of sidebars that have soaked up some of my time. some of them very good, some of them not so good. bear with me!
this next week is going to be ACTION PACKED! are you ready? samremix tonight, vogue front row fashion saturday in bellevue and the 7salon + zebra club show on sunday. heading in to next week, BUMBERSHOOT!! where i do believe i have mainstage access, and quite possibly (fingers crossed) some one-on-one interviews?!?! we’ll see!
the photos above are from the shipley + halmos event at the barney’s co-op. a very cool concept, the two namesakes of the line (and the designers) are traveling to barney’s around the country, snapping photos and hoping to put together a lookbook of expressive portraiture (and by barney’s default, style) by holiday. some very well dressed popped in to have their photos, mingle and shop. if you’re interested in the book, check back to barney’s at holiday.
local wares – sunday ballard market
i thought i’d venture away from downtown yesterday and see what i spotted in the neighborhoods. since we all know what rainwear looks like, i didn’t stop anyone. it was a utilitarian day. and although i’ve thought of chronicling some ‘quintessential’ seattle staples, a) i don’t want anyone to take it the wrong way, and b) we all know what they look like. i’ll keep my eyes peeled this week for something to post… i hope to venture to the ID for lunch one day, and i may be at SAMremix this friday, we’ll see how the week goes. in the meantime, enjoy some market shots…
can’t believe it’s already dahlia time of year. they filled both flower booths… these were my favourites.
hairy carrots.
denim – andrew – downtown seattle
this gentleman said he modeled for blackbird, and that most of his items were from there… loving the navy shoe.
listen – rush – white river amphitheater
first of all, for anyone who’s never been to white river amphitheater… give yourself more than 2 hours to get there. actually, go ahead and give yourself 3. pretend you’re driving to portland. and while you’re at it, leave the concert early or you may never see your home again.
i exaggerate. but seriously. i gave myself what i thought was PLENTY of time to get there. thanks to dagmar, i had pit access at an arena show. i’ve never had pit access at an arena show. i was excited. and 10 minutes after the band was slated to go on, i was still in my car. praying to whoever, wherever that i’d be able to get one song worth of photos.
i don’t have to give you all the drama. i will say, rush gave an amazing performance. my husband, who has been a DEVOTED rush fan for well over half his life, came back to the car giddy with excitement, and we talked the show most of the way home (40 minutes with no traffic). i enjoy having these photos as a gift to give him, and recording one of his all time favourite bands.

accosting birds – photographically – seattle
i have a strange fixation with birds. i probably have 200 photos of crows. and none of them very good. so i’ve been branching out. my backyard is like wild bird kingdom, and photo stalking these little buggers has been fun. usually just when i put my camera down (because my arms have fallen asleep) one turns up right in my face (hummingbirds, literally, in your face). so anyway, i thought i’d post some other stuff today… happy friday!
hummingbirds from the inside of my house… someday i’m going to capture the red throated dude.
this gull and i had a long talk. i told him if he played his cards right, i’d get him some french fries
not having it…
needle buzz – on the blogs – seattle radio
i can’t even remember when i did this interview. my life seems like somewhat of a blur at the moment… but i did enjoy talking with toby, and having listened to his little snippet (from me probably talking his ear off) it’s so CUTE! it’s so SUCCINT. that’s me… 3rd one down! have a listen!
