Here is a memorial in front of the Racer Cafer, which is not far from where I live and is where my son's band did their first gig. This has shook up the community, but I hope that people are realizing that an epidemic of gun violence has been happening in Seattle recently.

Yes I do sometimes shoot vertical format.
Jason Padgett is a mathematician and businessman who developed the ability to hand-draw perfect fractals after an attack and brain trauma. He live in Federal Way, near Seattle. He has acquired synesthesia and savant syndrome. He has also had many profound insights about mathematics and physics and claims to be able to visualize space/time. He initially had PTSD but now is taking courses in math to be able to back up concepts that he intuits.

I've got a piece of his in which Jesus is rising up from a sea of yellow finger paint with thumbprints and little Buddhas. We've done stories on his gallery shows before and now Kisten-Daiensae is in his '90s so his art was on display from nine different decades.
Daiensai has used the following media: acrylic, charcoal, clay, crayon,gouache, sumi, silkscreen, watercolor, oil, encaustic, egg tempura, pastel, pen & ink, pencil, lost wax bronze, wood sculpture, woodcut, cement, serigraphy, linocuts, lithgraphy and more.
This is the one I loved today.
When Daiensae was set to arrive, someone said that it was the "anti-Rapture!" We got the feeling that alot of the attendees had been around in the beatnik days as participants not observers (a compliment) and there was (as always) a good spread of food and wine. (Great sushi)
We wandered to the peaceful Zen garden in the back.
These are from the last show we covered, in 2007.

This is my neighborhood. I'm not pissed about the homeless camp. They are only there for 90 days and in the right circumstances, any of us could be homeless, or some of our family members. Thanks to the churches who are helping with this effort. There were tent cities during the Depression too.

"They watch us go in and out of the restrooms. Watch us eat. How would they feel if someone had a camera in their living room of their house doing that?" said Roger Franz, a tent city camp leader.
