This shot was taken from my window, as excavators rip down support columns of the structure.

It’s a bittersweet moment for many. The structure itself was old, ugly, and unsafe, and supported rather seedy elements around its’ base for decades, but it was one of the most incredible urban/scenic drives around, with sweeping views of the city, Elliot bay, & the Olympic mountains.

Here’s a link to the new in-depth WSDOT Viaduct History website, some interesting tidbits – http://viaducthistory.com

Personally, I’ll take the extra window-view, quieter roads, & a revitalized waterfront. Can’t wait for it to finish!

Pilchuck on the Cascade Loop.

Here is a preview from the shoot.

Alex Lim Robe Canyon 1

The trail features beautiful and rugged terrain, from a mountain glacier river, rocky cliffs, century old overgrown railway, giant stone river-crossing bridges, tunnels, massive rockslides, pristine rainforest, & more.

Not a terribly accommodating environment for a shoot, but thanks to the crew for making it work. I’ll take a cold, wet, sweaty day in the middle of no-where over the studio any day.

Here’s a shot of stylist Megan working on model Marissa’s dress, on a narrow 2.5ft wide bridge over a 40ft drop into the ravine below!

Rest of the series to follow…

I have no interest to develop an ‘inspiration blog’ of my own, but there are sometimes stories, visuals, events, or other outstanding subjects that deserve to be mentioned.

Starting with, I’ve been a big fan of Sweet Station for awhile. I have a long bookmark list of creative/photography/fashion blogs that I follow, and after awhile you can start to appreciate the effort, resourcefulness, and aesthetics of some more than others.

Entries never fail to inspire. They feature typically very unique content, from sculptures, paintings, live exhibits, architecture, products, advertising, etc., that’s hard to categorize at times but with an undeniable emotion-invoking reaction.

Updates are very frequent. Check them out and follow, you won’t be disappointed.
