Poo-Poo Platter

So, what’s the latest happenings in the Land of Poo? Well…

Last Thursday was the monthly Brews and Views meetup at Pies and Pints. I highly recommend checking out the Seattle Flickr Meetup pool for more photos from the evening. It was… interesting…

I got some lighting gear from MPEX and promptly put it to use on a jumping self-portrait (surprise, surprise).

I went to the Bellevue Arts Fair on Sunday and watched flamenco dancers perform.

Not a bad way to close out July. August is kicking off with a load of events as well. According to Google Calendar, here’s what I have on tap for the next week:

Wednesday, August 1: Seattle Flickrites doing a Strobist meetup in SODO
Thursday, August 2: First Thursday in Pioneer Square
Saturday, August 4: Tacoma Hotrod-A-Rama
Monday, August 6: Fellow Seattle Flickrite Jennifer Neal’s first show opening

This is turning out to be the busiest summer ever!

Seattle Flickrites rock. There’s no doubt about it. We’re one of the largest and most active photography meetup groups on the planet. We have a diverse range of fun and energetic members who make every meetup a blast. And, if I may say so myself, we’ve got skillz!

I was browsing through Flickr’s Explore pages (tracking my recently popular images), and I noticed several images from my fellow Seattle photogs were also in Explore. Here are three of my faves from the past few days:

You Don’t Know Me by Brittney

La Tristesse by Rob

into the deep by Rachel

If you haven’t already, check out the Seattle Flickr Meetups group. There are a lot of fun photos from our meetups there. Also take a look at the images in each member’s photostream for even more amazing photos. There’s some great work coming out of the Seattle area, and I’m proud to be amongst these great photographers.
