Have A Heart for Kids Day 2010

Every year The Children's Alliance has a march to the capitol steps where they rally for kids. This year they joined forces with other groups to send the message that revenue is critical for Washington State. Thousands of people gathered on the steps. Bob Marley blasted from the speakers pumping everyone up to speak out to their legislators. An impact was surely made. Check out the good work the Alliance does: www.childrensalliance.org.

Ballard Slide Show

A Walk Down Ballard Ave from Tegra Nuess on Vimeo.

I've been wanting to experiment with sound and photographs for a while. So I gave myself an assignment and took a walk up Ballard Ave documenting what I saw. Just using my iPhone to record sound, I started to hear in a different way. The hums and beeps separated from each other and I could really hear what was happening around me. It was a fun project and hopefully resulted in a nice little snapshot of one of the best streets in Seattle.

Snowshoe Fun

Some friends and I went snowshoeing yesterday. Despite the lack of snow this year, we found some deep, soft, wet snow to play around in. I want to thank them for being models and jumping off tree stumps at my request. Here are my favs:

Night Time Collaboration

What's better than getting together with fellow photogs and playing around in the dark with some lights and some cameras? Last week my friends Dylan and Milana and I did just that. With three flashes, a tripod and a camera we managed to come up with some fun shots.
