All shot with my trusty Canon EOS 1V. Can’t recall the film for certain, but looks like Kodak UltraMax, which is my go to for lower light situations like these.

I’m long overdue a return visit. It was my sanctuary during lockdown, a place where I could walk around unmasked and breath free.

I don’t think I’ve been to that Brooklyn Grange. I photographed the old one in Astoria/LIC a million years ago.

I never found out the artist behind this sculpture in Seattle’s Capital Hill, but I could have spend a good few rolls photographing it.

Would have loved to do a couple portraits with it. Maybe next time.
