Pike's Market Busker

One of the best parts of taking pictures are the stories that go with each moment captured. In this picture, Emery Carl shares his unique talent with Seattle. After shooting him for 15-20 minutes, we talked and it turns out his father grew up in Flint, Michigan which is only 15 minutes from where I live.

Emery can hula-hoop, play guitar and play the harmonica all at the same time. Pretty cool. He was so passionate about his talent and was very down to earth. You can learn more about him at www.TheTroubadourShow.com

City Life

This graffiti caught my eye. Seattle is probably not considered a tough city the same way Detroit or maybe Philadelphia are, but I figured this advice scrolled across an old beat up building downtown was worth a picture.
