Well, this wasn't shot with a Canon, and its film not digital. I used a cheapo Lomo fisheye camera. I always wanted a fisheye lens, but could never afford one, so this camera seemed pretty awesome when I first got it! I don't use it too much anymore, because its a little too poor quality, but I recently stuck it in my bag just to try it out again.
Sometimes I put my fancy digital camera away and go out with some lesser quality toy film cameras. It's weird, but sometimes my 5D feels too perfect. Or too easy. Anyone else feel that way?
Anyways, This is the Seattle Art museum. That thing out in front is called the hammering man. It's kinda ugly. Or maybe I just don't get art? That long scratch across the frame is provided by Walgreens. A very, very bad place to get film developed. But, they're a block from my house, they only charge $2 to develop negatives, and they get it done in half an hour. And, I am super lazy.

Interesting way to see an old friend. ;) I remember when they put him up, I was like.... "What the heck!?!"

But he's a fixture now. I also remember Labor Day 1993 when a ball and chain was attached to him by a "guerilla art group". That was amusing.... :D


Kindest regards,

I see what you mean by the quality, but nevertheless it's still good shot. It makes the statue pop out a bit.

I wish they left the ball and chain where it was....
