Developing Your Eye; Day 2: Street

Posted on by Gertie

U-District Street Fair 2019 of two people with cat mask on. On playing the accordion and the other playing a viola (maybe it’s a violin).

Hello!!! This is a a local street fair in the University District neighborhood of Seattle. This picture was back in 2019 months before the pandemic of Covid-19 hit. Sadly, the U-District Street Fair was cancelled for 2020 and 2021. Thankfully it came back this year; 2022. I attended this year but forgot to take pictures so I decided to use this picture. I hope you find it as amusing as I do and yes I had the permission to post.

Photography: Developing Your Eye I; Day Two: Street

Good Morning, World!!! Today’s topic for the photography course I am taking is “Street.” So, I decided to use picture I took during the holidays. I took a picture of the Seattle Space Needle lit up in Purple as purple is my favorite color. As you can tell I took a picture from across the street from the Space Needle and surprisingly no cars are driving by. As you can tell the street is wet from rain. The Space Needle is down the street from where I work and I remember taking the picture below as I was going to work. I also remember that I took the picture the week in between Christmas and New Years. For those who are sight impaired I put captions in with the photo explaining what the picture is.

Photography 1: Day 2; Street

Good Afternoon World!!! Today is the second day of Photography; Developing Your Eye; Day Two. Today’s topic is street. Piggy backing on yesterdays theme of home and how I shared pictures of my neighborhood I’m going to discuss the “main” street of the neighborhood I live in.

IMG_0249University Way NE fondly known as the “Ave.” The story behind on why its call the “Ave” is because at one point in time the street was called 14th Ave NE and the business’s in the area wanted to bring more business to the area so it started calling it the “Ave.” The city decided to change the name of the street to University Way NE due to the reason that the University of Washington is in this neighborhood yet the “Ave.” stuck.
