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…

afternoon in pictures – SAM – downtown seattle

alice wheeler photographer

today i had the very amazing opportunity to walk the streets of seattle with alice wheeler via a workshop through SAM.  several of alice’s amazing portraits are in the kurt exhibit, and quite honestly… you couldn’t meet a sweeter lady.  she also has a photo in the ‘taking aim’ exhibit at EMP- it’s of neko case and i LOVE it (that and the elvis costello were my faves) there’s only one more day of that exhibit, catch it before it’s gone!  her photos in kurt will be up till through september 6th.  thanks alice for the amazing afternoon!

happy blog birthday – 1 year – needle+thread – seattle

From needle+thread

i’ve looked through some of my earliest posts, there’s probably no one more critical than me… that being said, i’ve come a long way.  i’ve learned a ton, both about my camera, and myself… and really what more could you ask?  i’ve been invited to some cool events (some are coming up) i’ve been contacted by people all over the world, and right here in seattle.  i’m glad you find inspiration here.  i’m glad you’ve visited… i hope you continue to check back.  this has been an evolution, and when i needed it most, a labor of love.  i love grabbing my camera and walking around our beautiful city… below- my very first post, above- the very first picture i took… here’s to another year of visually capturing all parts of seattle… i hope you have a great weekend!  xoxo- n+t

from april 3rd- 1st post of needle+thread

i’ve lived in seattle for 9 years.  before that, i lived an hour and half north of here, and when i came to seattle, one of my favourite places to meander was the market.  even now, as a local, it never seems cliche’ to me to go there to connect to my city.  i never get tired of wandering there.  poking through new corners.  going a little further than i went last time.

a new goal has been to document some seattle fashion. seattle is a land of individualists. people who don’t conform to the rules of other cities. it’s a joke that we wear fleeces and socks with sandals, and i won’t even argue with you, i own more fleece than i did when i lived in arizona. and my tevas are beloved, although i would sooner set fire to hair than wear them with socks. but i get it.

i want just a little bit of what my city looks like here. from the man selling produce with the wicked style, to the girls walking around in herds starting the new grunge. i love living here, and i’ve always loved people watching. this is my way to connect to where i live and be inspired.
