Recently I was able to visit my good friend Sean and his family in Seattle. I had never been before and was excited to experience the lush green forest feel, hopeful to capture it with my camera. I quickly found myself overwhelmed with interesting things to photograph, so much so, that I hardly photographed anything. Strange how that happens eh?
Over the next few posts I will share some of the photographs that I did take and some of the challenges with each.
The photo you see here was taken at the Public Market downtown, famous for the fish throwers. I found this angle interesting with it's interrogation style lighting, busy colors and shapes. Shooting indoors always has it's challenges especially low light since I have a hard time wanting to use the higher ISO's. That phobia probably comes from my film days. Anything over ISO400 was just to grainy for me. Generally 200 or lower is where I wanted to be. So, with the image stabilizer on I braced myself up against a column, waited for the crowd to pass and took the shot.

I love this picture--especially the colors and handwritten signs. It totally has a casual, thrown together feel--the fruitstand does--but your picture makes it look artistic and interesting . . . I like it. :)
This is an awesome shot. It instantly brought to mind a shop I was at in Israel; the same disarray of products but the freshness and quality of the fruit shining through. It is amazing how our memory can be stabbed or caressed by a photograph when shot by a great photographer. Keep up the good work! Mineral Magic
