Color photo. Seen through a window, a woman cuts a man's hair. There is a large lit Barber Shop sign in the window, as well as a neon Open sign. The walls are covered in old flyers and posters.

“We should go out and do some street photography sometime.”

It was my birthday recently, and that counted as Sometime. It had been months since we’d talked about it, but Coby was available that day, and up for wandering around Seattle, so that’s what we did.

And here’s what I saw.

Gear: Nikon Z 7II, Nikon Z 40mm f2

Color photo. A tall, narrow photo of a set of windows in a building. At the bottom is a wall with a large tag of a skeletal Andre the Giant head. Below are dumpsters.
Color photo. A sidewalk in Seattle. A street sign shows South Washington Street. A brick building with stylized star motif is on the right. From this building, projecting over the sidewalk, is a red neon sign saying "State Hotel, Rooms 75 cents".

Color photo. A set of stairs next to a building, leading upwards. There are five short flights, with flat spaces between. Each flight is at a slightly different angle.
Color photo. An alley between buildings, with a gap on the left letting light in. A man, wearing a backpack, is walking away from the viewer. Before him a yellow post juts up from the brick of the alley floor. Steam belches from a pipe high up on the left, and in the distance is a red neon sign that reads Post Alley.
Color photo. A set of double doors with wire mesh windows in their upper half. The doors are chained shut. Through the windows green trees can be seen. Vines grow on the walls on either side of the doors. Above the doors is a sign that reads Post Alley Park. No fun will be had here.
Color photo. A brick wall. At the top are two posters: one depicts a line art parrot, and the other is a person wearing a bandanna over their lower face, with the letters LA on it. Below, written in gum stretched over the bricks, are the words Subscribe to Kaz. The lower third of the wall is covered in multicolored blobs of gum.
Color photo. In the middle of the frame is a neon sign saying Market Place Public Parking, with an arrow pointing down and to the right. Beyond this are a line of yellow buildings, one of which is labeled Starbucks. The word Starbucks lines up immediately over the parking sign. Above, the end of a brick building shows a mural. The mural is blue, shading to pale blue on the right, with a person swinging from a chandelier while holding a yellow cape.
Color photo. A pair of seats that appear to be suspended from above, allowing them to swing. They are, however, chained up, and have orange and white traffic cones in front of them. Additionally, a blue line of tape with the words Waterfront Park crosses in front of the chairs. No fun will be had here.
