About the work

   

most of my images aren't taken in extraordinary settings or under extraordinary circumstances. More often than not, they're taken on ordinary days, doing ordinary things: watching the dancing reflections from waves of passing boat traffic; a sunday afternoon drive through wheat and canola fields in eastern washington; looking at the corroded, rusty back-end of an old tugboat; the list goes on!

I hope what you see and read here will inspire and raise your awareness for all of the extraordinarily ordinary beauty which, as the old hymn says, “…over and around us lies...”  it's everywhere!

Happy imaging -- bill

gear & workflow

Cameras: nearly all images taken with Nikon film and digital cameras; most native film images are from slides which were later scanned; digital images are generally shot using nikon's RAW file format.  Look here for a good discussion of why RAW is such a great way to shoot.

Workflow: the images are not manipulated beyond basic color correction and occasional sharpening. my goal is to present images that are as close to original scene as possible. 

Printing: all printing is done with Epson printers using archival inks and matte papers from Epson and Moab.

Showing at the Elysian Brewery - Tangletown

This morning I hung a new show here in Seattle at the Elysian Brewery in Tangletown.  The show will run through the end of March, so if you live in North Seattle or are in the vicinity, stop by and have a look.  The show is made up of images from Seattle's industrial waterfront and ferry and container ship traffic in Elliot Bay.

The Elysian Brewery Tangletown is located at 2106 N 55th Street in north Seattle....a bit south of Greenlake.  A little background on Tangletown (thanks to Wikipedia)....the name comes from the disturbance of Seattle's street grid in this transition zone, where the Wallingford and Green Lake neighborhoods merge. Of note are its "K streets": Kensington, Kenwood, Keystone, and Kirkwood Places N.  One of the neighborhood's principal landmarks is the Keystone Building which was built in 1910 and has been the home of various businesses over the years including the Elysian Brewery currently on the west side and Mighty-O Donuts on the east corner.  The other modern landmark is the Zoka coffee company which is directly accross the street (to the east) from the Keystone building.

If you have an interest in acquiring any of the pieces being shown, or fine-art quality note cards of the same images, you can send me an email or contact Michael Mcgiverin at artattheelysian@gmail.com

It’s very important to finish the well done american history essays or free essays about this topic to receive the academic success at the high school.

I love seeing this space up on my computer screen with these beautiful images - in my mind's eye I can see 4 happy diners, sharing brunch on a rainy'ish Seattle day. I can see that beautiful little soccer player sitting across the table from me, shivering in the cold unprepared for the rain and thinking if she only knew how the other three diners treasured her being with them......she won't know until she's placed in a similar situation (probably in light years away from my world, as I will have no doubt departed by then from this life) and her mind gives her a little electric shock re our days together:) Wow, you didn't know your images would bring all of that up in my mind now, did you?!

Beautiful photography!!!!
