http://andrewjesaitis.com documenting life one instant at a time. Wed, 05 Nov 2008 06:31:30 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en In one of the purest displays of public emotion I have seen, people rushed the streets of Seattle tonight to celebrate the election of President Barack Obama. I have never seen so much genuine patriotism in America. While the past 8 years has played host to numerous widespread protests against Bush ... http://andrewjesaitis.com/2008/11/04/obama-4-life/ No, not that coke (though it is about that addictive). Although, Starbucks may not have the worldwide brand recognition that Coke does, it nevertheless has a commanding presence. As I stepped into my second Starbucks for the day, I wondered why it is so ubiquitous. And as a Seattlite (where the ... http://andrewjesaitis.com/2008/11/03/starbucks-the-new-coke/ I snapped this shot of Mt. Rainier early one morning from Kerry Park. I like the interplay of the clouds and the mountain in this one. http://andrewjesaitis.com/2008/11/02/mt-rainier/ I spent far too much time in the reading room while I was at Whitman College, but a current student pointed me toward this video. Although, I was never the last one in the reading room, I was often the first (I'm a bit more of a morning person). ... http://andrewjesaitis.com/2008/10/27/whitman-colleges-reading-room/ Just a quick evening shot of Seattle from Kerry Park. This is one of those ubiquitous images that every Seattle photographer has in their portfolio. Nevertheless, it is a striking view of Seattle. http://andrewjesaitis.com/2008/10/26/seattle-at-dusk/ This photo is more or less an accident of perseverance. I went up to Kerry park at 6 am on Sunday hoping to get "the dawn shot." (As a sidenote, I've tossed out the originally criteria for the time being in Seattle, as I feel there are a few Seattle ... http://andrewjesaitis.com/2008/10/23/cloud-city/ So I've shot the Seattle Skyline a few times now and am finally getting some decent results. I shot this one this evening. I think often too much attention is paid to the Space Needle. I mean sure it's really futuristic in a Jetson's sort of way, but it's ... http://andrewjesaitis.com/2008/10/22/the-seattle-skyline/ So I haven't had enough time to shoot lately, but here's one from the weekend. This is the Two Union Square building and is by far my favorite skyscraper in the city. http://andrewjesaitis.com/2008/10/21/i-got-got-got-got-no-time/ Here's the rest of the images I liked from my weekend photo excursion. More than anything I am filled with ideas from the 200+ images I didn't post. A tree here, a blown highlight there kept me from showing them, but this city has potential for sure. It's a new ... http://andrewjesaitis.com/2008/10/13/seattle-putting-the-day-to-rest/ Well, I finally was able to hit the streets and do some serious shooting. And I did this all on foot--from the Seattle Public Library to Pike's Place to Kerry park to the Olympic Sculpture Park and the water front--thank god my knee is feeling better. I haven't finished editing ... http://andrewjesaitis.com/2008/10/12/seattle-visually-finally/
