Seattle in winter
This one is mostly for the out-of-towners. When I think of Seattle in the winter, this is what comes to mind.

There was a time when I would have reached for a joke about suspensions, but now that I'm older I'll just leaf it alone.
Train time
In late November we visited the Northwest Railway Museum in Snoqualmie. We were ostensibly there to see some old guy in a red suit, but the big attraction for me was the trains. And now you get to enjoy them, too.

Wading in
As the streets ground into gridlock, pedestrians started to wade through the trapped cars as though they were part of the landscape.
Seattle in the snow
On the Monday before Thanksgiving this year, Seattle got several inches of snow. As is traditional here, the entire city came to a screeching halt.
It took me hours to get home from work – I finally walked in the door at 12:30 – but I was happier than most of the people stuck in the snow, because I was taking photos.
For the next few days: photos from my trek through Seattle, trying to get home. Filtered through my own dark vision, of course.

Ok... so I just saw these two in a mcdonald's ad on TV doing this exact routine. The ad was for McDonald's coffee. Totally bummed. I didn't go back to look, but I wonder if it wasn't released on YouTube by McDonalds themselves or the ad agency just to have it go viral so they would be recognized in the ad.

This is a remarkable photo. We've been reading about terminal illness and dying. This makes me think about the distress someone might face when they're trying to make sense out of their situation, but the uncertainty and loss of control is going too fast to keep up.

I was glad to see they still had the same chair.
Harvest
This year, like last year, we visited Daum's Produce outside of Salem, Ore., to pick up some pumpkins and get in the fall mood.
It should come as no surprise that I came back with a stack of moody fall photos.
You want what now?
Sir, we're not that kind of bank. We don't let people make withdrawals.

Back on the street
I've spent a great deal of this year getting myself into a healthier head space, in one way and another. Partly as a way of helping out my head, and partly as a result of getting to a better place, I've been shooting on the street again.
I shot on the street obsessively for about 12 years, but I haven't done much in the last three or four years. Shooting on the street, for me, requires a combination of intense focus and extreme openness that I simply didn't have the resources for.
I've been shooting on the street again for about seven weeks, and it's wonderful to be back. I've done a ton of work in that time, and I have several photos I'm quite happy with.
And, not surprisingly, you're going to see those over the next few weeks. Enjoy!
Taking on a little water there
All the better to make reflections for me.

I'm not sure what it is about this one that I love. Maybe the idea that this big fuzzy chipmunk looks like he's trying to shoo away the paparazzi. Or maybe its the idea that paparazzi would be stalking some giant fuzzy chipmunk. Either way, it's awesomely funny!

For me, it's humorous and slightly disturbing.... but perhaps it's disturbing because I've seen the fake movie trailer "Thanksgiving" one too many times.

This looks like a scene from a film. Shake hands with Chippa, who desparately seeks human connection but is trapped within in a cage of his own choosing.

A week at the Washington coast
We spent the week before Labor Day at the Washington coast, mostly around Pacific Beach. It's lovely, quiet, and we had a great mix of weather: hard coastal rain, fog (see above), and sun.
Naturally... a bunch of photos from the coast will follow.
GeoGeek, on Tuesday, September 7, 2010 at 10:04 PM:

I agree! Quietly majestic.
Sunfriday, on Wednesday, September 8, 2010 at 8:09 PM:

OK, enough of that elegant plant crap. Let's get back to some gritty urban textures, shall we?
Sunfriday, on Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 9:39 PM:
Subtle.
If you're leaning toward those colors, you'll have to come to Spokane to shoot. Beautiful red brick, rusty freight trains with grafitti,and people sleeping on the street under deep-dust sunsets. There are a fair number of picture perfect parks here, but they if you know where they are you can steer clear of them.
Yr. Hmbl. Authr. in print
Hey, look, it's the awesome new McSweeney's book, The Art of McSweeney's.
And why, having only rarely mentioned McSweeney's in these pages before, do I mention this now? Let's take a look at the opening endpapers.
Why yes! That is a photo of my dear, freakish friends in Circus Contraption, by yours truly.
Which is only one of many, many reasons why you should get yourself a copy of this book. The rest of it is also entirely wonderful and silly and smart.

Oooh, that's exceptionally wondrous.

Oh monstera, how delicious you are.

Back in May I spent an hour or so at the Volunteer Park Conservatory with Uncle Vinny, enjoying some warmth and humidity and taking photos of old friends.

I guess not all flags are high-flying flags.
Pine construction 1
Sunfriday, on Monday, June 28, 2010 at 3:02 PM:
When I first saw the top half of the picture, I thought it was a bamboo fence. Seeing the whole image brought up that wonderful smell of pine in the summer. The title, and the circle of wear hints at interesting stories. Trees, construction, years of human use...
Windswept 2
The windswept effect was consistent for all sizes of rocks. These are pea-sized stones, each with a little trail behind them.
MARS ATTACKS
Oh... no wait... it's just rocks with wind trails behind them. Perhaps a geologist or chemist will come along to explain why the sand on this beach formed these trails — a combination of salt and worn sandstone and something else?
Regardless, it was fun to see and photograph.
GeoGeek, on Monday, June 21, 2010 at 12:55 PM:
Well, OK, I'll take the bait. From what I can see, it's simply a matter of a fairly strong wind coming from an unvariable direction (from the right of the photo). As the wind picks up the sand grains, it hits one of the pebbles, swirls behind it in an eddy, loses its velocity, and drops the sand grains. The key factors are a consistent wind direction and enough speed to carry sand grains*.
The cohesion of the sand grains may be due to salt, as you suggest, or a relatively high concentration of clay minerals (micas).
*Cool geology word of the day: saltation. Sand is rarely caried very far by the wind; instead, a grain is pushed hard enough that it jumps (spanish: salta); upon landing, it hits another grain which then "jumps".
Coda: On the beach in color
Many of the beaches we saw were normal North American worn granitic sand beaches, but there were a few that were so red it felt like we were on the surface of Mars. Which brings us to the next few photos...
On the beach on PEI
The beaches on PEI were beautifully windswept, the sand arranged by the wind into wonderful patterns that I immediately saw in black and white.
As we'll see later, the beaches were pretty cool in color, too, but out there on the east coast I felt like I had to represent: west coast landscape school, yo. f/64, WHAT!
(As a former manager of mine once said, "David, I love it when you act butch.")
nocklebeast, on Saturday, June 12, 2010 at 6:55 PM:
f/64? you shootin' with a pinhole?
Red PEI 4
GeoGeek, on Tuesday, June 8, 2010 at 11:18 AM:
It'll come as no surprise that I'm totally grooving on this series of photos!
The red roots of PEI
I had never read Anne of Green Gables, so I remedied that as preparation for the trip. Aside from being a good read, the repeated references to the red sandstone and red roads intrigued me.
And boy did the reality knock the heck out of my expectations. I could have spent six weeks stalking up and down the coast picking photos out of the rocks. Really remarkably beautiful.
Here, then, is the first of seven photos to get the idea across.
heather, on Saturday, June 5, 2010 at 8:46 PM:
Yay! Incidentally, the only province within my Home And Native Land that I have not visited. I need to fix that.
I was SOOOO looking forward to red rock photos from you! You never disappoint :-)
rfkj, on Monday, June 7, 2010 at 7:30 AM:
As a big, tough almost-40-year-old man, I am in no way ashamed to admit that I love the Anne books. I re-read Anne of Green Gables every few years--if I were to make a top ten books list, that book would definitely be on it.
The stripes add a festive touch.
heather, on Saturday, June 5, 2010 at 8:49 PM:
I really love this photo. It's beautiful.
Tropical PEI
The first day we were on the island it was... inclement. And beautiful.
Time for some travel
Miz Becky and the Kid and I traveled east at the beginning of May, visiting friends in Montreal, Prince Edward Island, and western Massachusetts. And of course I shot many, many photos.
Yes, friends, it's holiday snaps time.

I do not like this picture. It took a few viewings to understand why. When I look it, my eyes automatically twist to the right until they hurt. Then my whole head tilts to the right. My brain tries another tack. "Maybe it's not a building with sidewalks. Maybe it's an envelope." My body shifts right, and an alarm goes off. This is The Stationary of Not Rightness. It's angles defy social norms, and there is something menacing seeping out of the seams. I try to look away, but it's too late. I have suffered 5 seconds of exposure to light brown next to grey.

Every once in a while I'll wonder about the problem of merging song lyrics... ever since I woke up from a dream a couple of years ago with the song "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead" in my head. But to the tune of "Feeling Groovy" by Simon and Garfunkel.
This was my best attempt to combing the lyrics... unfortunately I didn't get past the first stanza/chorus what-ever-you-call-it.
(to the tune of "Feeling Groovy")
Ding Dong the witch is dead,
which witch, the wicked wi-itch
ding dong, the witch is dead,
and we're feelin' groovy

The Kid and I were at the Woodland Park Zoo a few weeks ago with friends and we passed through the insect house. I love these stick insects so much that I thought I'd share them here, even though the photos ain't great art.

so many of my favorite things all at once!
Dancing, not loitering
Heather, on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 at 5:25 PM:
Makes you want to invite a bunch of people to stand outside around the door dancing randomly to different beats on their iPods.
The Visitor
Claude, on Monday, February 15, 2010 at 11:12 AM:
David,
Wow! The power of titles in your work is astounding. This picture is nothing without the title.
I must remember that.
Thank you.
Secrets
Claude, on Monday, February 15, 2010 at 11:10 AM:
David,
I wondered to myself : why the title "Secrets"? And then I noticed that one of the windows, the centre one, is plastered. Wow. The person must have one big secret to hide.
Did you notice that plastered window?

Another one from your commissioned ad series?
Bram's Garden Shop for the Undead.
"Do garden shops bring the painful reminder that you will never again feel the sweet breath of life? We at Bram's understand. Choose from dying plants, or ones already dead.
Visit the desiccation section, and our award-winning blackhouse, which features moldering decay. We've also recieved a shipment of deceased gnomes. And if your garden is plagued with beautiful flowers or thriving fruit trees, check out our wide selection of herbicides and chainsaws.
We're just 2 miles past Hope Road. Look for the sign with the Raven.
What's he building in there?
Damon, on Tuesday, February 9, 2010 at 9:04 AM:
...I heard he
Has an ex-wife in some place
Called Mayors Income, Tennessee
And he used to have a
consulting business in Indonesia...

Fogwalk 4
Uncle Vinny, on Sunday, January 24, 2010 at 2:35 PM:
Favorite!

Beautiful! The more I look at it, the more connections and contrasts come out. Like the the arch of light spots (rocks?) in the foreground.
heather, on Monday, January 25, 2010 at 11:16 PM:
I love this one
David Adam Edelstein, on Tuesday, January 26, 2010 at 6:59 AM:
I feel as though I would be remiss if I didn't point out that the details and subtle tonalities of this popular photo are much easier to appreciate in a large and reasonably priced print ;-)
Uncle Vinny, on Tuesday, January 26, 2010 at 11:20 AM:
Hahahaha, well one wouldn't want one to be remiss!
Sunfriday, on Tuesday, January 26, 2010 at 2:43 PM:
Odd. I was actually thinking that exact thing. Need to have more walls first though.
Fogwalk 1
When we were in Oregon over Christmas, I was lucky enough to get a whole afternoon of glorious fog in Spring Valley.
I stalked around in the mist and the mud for a couple of hours and had myself a fine old time.

Wonderful photo. The wood shows in its own right, adding a sense of time: the tree, the whale, the act of carving. It also gets across that these creatures are not adorable pets. They eat on seals for breakfast.

I LOVE this shot! Where did you take it?
David Adam Edelstein, on Tuesday, January 12, 2010 at 10:17 AM:
At the Saint James Cathedral in Seattle.
Not too long after I took this picture of the ceiling.
Sarah, on Tuesday, January 12, 2010 at 5:15 PM:
This is breathtaking. So peaceful.
Kid stories
If your kid throws their magazine in the tub, how do you get all the pages to dry? Figure out some way to insure airflow:
Arguments on the nature of reality:
The kid: "Hey, this rag is a sock!"
Me: "This rag is a piece of cloth that was once shaped like a sock."
The kid: "No, it's a sock!"
Me: "It was shaped like a sock once. Now it's shaped like a rag."
The kid: "Daddy. It. Is. A. Sock." (eye roll)
Later...
The kid: "Where's the icecube in my soup?"
Miz Becky: "It's gone!"
Me: "The ice cube is still there, it's just shaped differently."
The kid: (eye roll)
Layered

The texture is gorgeous, looks the leaves are as soft as velvet.
Suspended

There is this thing you do with space that is so amazingly sculptural.
heather, on Saturday, January 1, 2011 at 9:03 PM:
Very nice :-)
