The foto app, world wide photowalk

Saturday, 26 September, 2026

It’s been a busy weekend of community, cameras, creativity, and connection!

Yesterday I led a photowalk on Alki Beach, in West Seattle. This area is a long time fave place to just relax.

Walk along the beach.
Listen to the waves.
Smell that air.
And perhaps, make a few images.

This was one of my monthly photowalks for the Kate Hailey community, in conjunction with Foto’s Worldwide Photowalk!

We had beautiful skies, cool breezes, and a lovely, relaxing day.

Thanks to everyone who joined me!

Such a great night!
Friday, at Pike Place Market.

Wonderful photowalk with all these beautiful people and FUJIFILM for Glazer’s Anniversary sale.

We met at Salt and Straw, went over some camera setting recommendations for a couple of styles of night photography: street and cityscapes.

We spent time chatting, making photos and exploring the market when things look just a bit different. Fewer people. Less light. But lots of neon and creative opportunities to be had.

I am a sucker for reflections. Water. Windows. Cars. Etc…

Swipe to see a few of my fave frames of the second most photographed sign (to me) at the market.

Also, snagged a quick Pink Guava at Rachel’s Ginger B**r!

Thanks to Tommy and friends at Fujifilm for making this happen and Glazer’s of course for hosting! Happy Anniversary Glazer’s!

If you’re in Seattle this weekend, check out the sale and programming at Glazer's Camera.

These were all captured on the FUJIFILM X/GFX USA GFX RF.

I love a window seat.

When I fly, especially a longer flight, whether coast to coast or hopping the pond & beyond, I love a window seat.

From the opportunity to view clouds and land from above, to a little more napping room, I am all for it.

These are few photos from my last flight from NYC to SEA.

Finding the light. 

To me, one of the best uses of a bright sunny day is to seek out bright light and deep shadows.

Sometimes when we travel, we get busy with the travel and forget to just make time to explore.

This image of the Haier Buildling in Manhattan caught my eye, because of that contrast of light and shadow.

I love how the light highlights the details on the columns.

We will meet outside of Alki Coffee Co on Alki Ave SW; from there we will stroll North, along the Alki Beach Path towards Alki Beach Pier.

This time of year, the weather tends to be a little more unpredictable, so please consider dressing for the weather and bringing things like a cover for your camera, in case there’s a little drizzle.

WHEN:
Saturday, September 26
10 AM - 12 PM

WHERE:
Alki Coffee Co
2742 Alki Ave SW #100, Seattle, WA 98116

WHAT TO BRING:
Bring your fave film, instant film, digital, or mobile phone camera. Consider wide-angle lenses for the broad landscapes.

On my spring trip to New York, I made a point to visit the 9/11 Memorial and this space, The Oculus. 

A visit to this space is conflicting, as it is a beautiful , thoughtful design in memoriam; yet, it is still so devastating to think of all those lost as a result of that historic attack.

I do not believe I will ever understand why some individuals choose violence over learning and understanding. Let’s have more open conversations and support each other instead of tearing one another down.

Many of us possess an open, curious mind and heart, but so many keep themselves closed off to the possibilities of embracing the joy of their individuality, and that individuality in others.

It’s our differences that make us wonderfully unique. 

As we remember and reflect on the past, (and the present!)…

What we can do to create and curate a better future, for oursevles and the next generations?

NYC on Polaroid

In late May I spent several days in NYC. I was out there partly for PolaCon, a weekend of instant film fun. But if I’m travelling from one coast to the other I always want to have time to wander on my own and experience a ariety of things. 

One day, I met up with a friend and went to see Girl, Interrupted (which was amazing, go see it!). 

I did a little shopping (of course).

As a result I didn’t use any film! 😳

The next day, I did!

I headed to 1 World Trade Center, Oculus, and the Battery (park).

I went through 2-3 packs of film. Starting off with an aging pack of Peanuts frames, to reclaimed blue.

NYC | 31 MAY, 2026

Sunset view from the hotel I had in Manhattan back in May. 

Each morning and evening, I’d take in this view. I espeically love the warm glow on the buildings, and that layered cloudy sky.
