The life and times of an animator, a photographer, and a geek.
When I headed out to enjoy the sun this weekend, I did not expect to see as many new giant sculptures as I did.
Big orange cones at the Olympic Sculpture Park:
A huge wave made out of 2×4’s in the pond at Bellevue Downtown Park (yes, the art is still constructing it):
And giant metal balls that I incorporated into a 365 Days shot:
Outdoor art is fun!
It’s been a really rough week, and I bailed on social engagements to spend a relaxing evening chilling and decompressing. However, instead of sitting at home doing nothing, I went for a nice, long walk through downtown Bellevue and down to Meydenbauer Park. It was warm. It was quiet. It was calm. And it really helped to clear my head.
I brought my D300 along with me just in case I felt like doing some picture-taking along the way, but it never left my bag. I did whip out my iPhone for a few snaps that ended up conveying everything that I would’ve wanted to show from my stroll. It actually did a stellar job. Sometimes a simple, fully-automatic camera is all you need.
Spring is here, and what better way to kick it off than by going for a leisurely photostroll through the Bellevue Botanical Garden. Every year I say that I’m not much of a floral photography guy, but then every year I go out and take pictures of flowers. I have no rhyme or reason for why I do that. It just happens. Flowers are pretty and generally willing photography subjects. There’s a nice variety of them I can photograph. And I get to go outside and get some fresh air. And did I say flowers are pretty? ;)
