looking up toward the ceiling at the Chihuly Center
This is what it would look like if you were at the earthworm party, approaching from below, and heading toward the area where all the food and drinks were offered.

EMP Backside #1
Experience Music Project, Seattle Center
The EMP (Experience Music Project) is Seattle’s version of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Museum, at the Seattle Center. The building is designed by Frank Gehry. I’ve never been inside (it’s kinda pricey – I’d rather have a new camera filter) but the outside has given me a lot of photo ops. Remember waaaaay back in loop 19A, when Dave Casey had a photo of the “sculpture thingie by the EMP?” The shadow of that sculpture thingie can be seen in this shot.
Shot with a TL-120, Provia 100F, 2 minutes.

Also taken at the Seattle Center. The Fun Forest is a funky collection of carnival rides below the Space Needle. It’s destined for the scrap heap soon. I wanted to get down there and get some shots before it disappears.
I really enjoy taking shots of carnival rides. There is definitely a lot of patience involved (waiting for the ride to unload, then load, and once the ride finally starts going, trying to discourage folks from walking right in front of your camera) but it’s totally worth it. There are so many great surprises after you get the film back. Most of my night shots of rides are from the Puyallup Fair, a huge Fair that runs about 3 weeks in the fall, and one weekend in April, about 30 miles south of Seattle.
