Finally finished...
...with the damn 5-Block PAW Project. This is the last entry, week 52. I shot 106 rolls of Fuji Neopan 400 so 1,272 frames over the course of the year. I learned a lot, especially about camera handling and reading light on the fly without using the meter. There are roughly a ten or so photos from the whole project that I really like so an almost 1 in 100 hit rate.
Time to get started on 2005's project(s)...

Caution...
...a silly color composition that I was not equipped to photograph. So, same as always, I shot it with Neopan anyway.

Some guy's foot...
...I forget who. One of the Spanish explorers. I've been (unsuccessfully)trying to photograph this damn statue on the Seattle waterfront off and on for a year.

Sorry homey, we don't do happy songs...
...was said by Mike Ness during the between-song banter of Social Distortion's "Live at the Roxy" recording. That's kind of how I feel about what happens when I try to take 'pretty pictures'. They never seem to quite work out. This photo was shot as part of the 5-Block PAW Project closing edit for the Fall. Looks to be a woulda/coulda/shoulda as I don't think it quite conveys the intended duality. Recently shot the exact same composition with color film through my Holga, should be interesting, or of course, total crap...

Yes, that is gum...
...stuck all over that wall. This was taken in the alley below Pike Place Market as a potential for my 5-Block PAW Project. I normally shoot for this project on my lunch hour but I drove downtown on Fri, Dec 31st to close out the year's shooting. Looks like I came in at about 105 rolls of 120 film for the year-long project. Honestly, I'm glad the shooting is over but I've still got about 10 rolls yet to develop and scan before i can finish the Fall edit and complete the project

First entry for the new photoblog
First entry to the new CrowMountain photoblog. It's still very much a work in progress but I felt it was important to at least get the basic shell up on New Years Day. The photograph was taken on a recent snowboarding trip to Mt Baker. The weather was very nice but the snow conditions were pretty awful, thin coverage, rocks, etc, etc. Even so, I'm not picky and we had a ton of fun doing laps on Chair 8 and Chair 5.
