Upcoming Photothingies

This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on May 24, 2006). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.

After a few days of grumbling and plotting devious ways of kicking my manager (severely, repeatedly, in the shin), my schedule has been reworked so that there are no more conflicts. Well, not true — I’m going to have to skip school for one day — but no major conflicts.

So.

Upcoming things where I will be wandering around, camera in hand:

  • Saturday, May 27: Northwest Folklife Festival

    Prairie and I will be wandering around during the day, I’ll be shooting more or less randomly. No set schedule or plan.

  • Saturday, May 27: The Scarlet F

    At the request of the lovely anzu, primarily for the fashion show and burlesque bits, but apparently I’ll be able to shoot the whole thing. Fun! Given that this is an “in your face celebration of queer femininity and femme identity”, I’m debating as to whether wearing my “I’m just here to get laid” t-shirt would provoke laughs or beatings (and not those of the enjoyable type).

  • Thursday, June 1: NSCC Career Link Prom

    Prairie’s teaching for Career Link, a G.E.D. program for students 16-21 who aren’t in high school. One of the things they do for the kids is throwing them a Prom, and I’ve been asked to act as a ‘roving photographer’ — no formal posed against a backdrop shots (as I understand), just candids throughout the evening.

  • Friday, June 2: Jason Webley‘s Eleven Saints EP Release Party

    Jason’s the one local artist that I’ve become a huge fan of since I moved to Seattle (see my Webely photos on Flickr or Webley posts on Eclecticism, for example). This is the release concert for his latest album, ‘Eleven Saints’. Seriously — if you’re not doing anything that evening, you should think about attending.

  • Saturday, June 3: Camp Tomato 2006

    Also a Jason Webley event, this is the sequel to last year’s inaugural Camp Tomato. Expect an afternoon of picnics, silliness, games, and tomatoes.

  • Friday, June 16: NSCC Career Link Graduation

    Along with Prom, I’ve also been asked to act as photographer for the Career Link graduation ceremonies. Nifty!

And that covers pretty much everything planned over the next few weeks. I’m hoping to be able to make it to some of the Seattle Pride festivities on Pride Weekend (June 24th-25th), but that will depend on my work schedule.

(Speaking of…did you know that we get two Pride Parades this year? I really wonder how well that’s going to go over….)

iTunes “Oh L’Amour” by Erasure from the album Pop! The First 20 Hits (1992, 3:07).

    Well good on you! However should you decide you do want backdrop shots I just happen to know someone with a backdrop setup as well as several different colors of backdrop paper…Should the need arise.
