CEProfiles: Davin

It was a rainy day when Davin had to get his pictures taken, but that wasn't a problem for us at all. He was ready to battle the wind and rain and was even up for a little danger in the streets.

Davin is interested in urban planning, specifically GIS and economic geography. 

This was his "Superman" look.

Then we had the idea to do a jumping photo, and where else but in the middle of the street in the U District? 

CEProfiles: Nimo

Okay, wow. I've been super lazy and neglecting this blog, I know. But since you're here already, this is another installment of CEProfiles: an attempt to hangout with all the CEPsters with my camera from now until our graduation date in 2015. 

 

Nimo is super involved with the Ethnic Cultural Center!

She's also got a pretty sweet view from the top of her dorm, overlooking the water. 

This was the moment we connected on broccoli and how much we loved it in Thai food.

Farm Freshhhh

Learning about moss reproduction! 

Carrots! (I think..)

Transplanting onions.

Assume the pose.

Local, sustainable, healthy greens fo dayyyz

"shovel ready"

Quintessentially autumnal of Seattle to bring us a sea of beautifully colored horse chestnut leaves, comfy sweaters, rolled up jeans, and boots.

CEProfiles: Mural Madness | Jack

A goal I have set for myself for the next two years is to photograph everyone in the CEP junior class. First up, Jack!

Jack aims to focus on public art administration. 

We share a love for murals and sketchy alleys. 

Like this mural on the corner of 50th and The Ave. 

You never know what you'll find in an alley. Like this weird photo of a couple on canvas that was in a box of unwanted clothes..

Me: "Jack, what makes you happy?"

"That cat picture you just showed me."

It's a keeper.

There's an audible giggle every time I look at this.

James Turrel is one of Jack's favorite artists. 

Turrel designs beautiful skyspaces, check them out. 

Three for Six

It was a good day when Jordan came to visit.

We had big plans for this day. It was an adventure a couple months in the making.

There were plans to hit up the Starbucks on top of the Columbia Tower. We get there and it's closed. 0/1

We decide to get food at a supposedly really good sandwich place in Pioneer Square. It's also closed. 0/2

Walking around Seattle a little aimless and discouraged, we happen to stumble upon Trabant. I had no idea there was another one outside the U-District. 1/3

Comforted by coffee, and a little more coherant, we decided our next destination would be The Wandering Goose a.k.a. the ultimate comfort food brunch spot. 2/4

Breakfast was delightful. Just what we needed. The Bullitt Center (the world's greenest commercial building) wasn't too far away, so we eagerly hopped on the bus (but only after we sang some Christmas carols at the bus stop). The Bullitt Center was closed. 2/5

Feeling discouraged once again, and a little perplexed with our luck (or lack thereof), we duck into a Trader Joe's to look for free samples. This was successful. 3/6. Three for six.

It was the best worst day! Exploring the city with these folks is always a good time, even if your success rate is only 50%. But for future plans, it's probably useful to note that Seattle apparently likes to sleep in on Saturday mornings.
