Fred's "Future"


This may look like a model of an old car, but it actually represents the future of a massive project that you'll find out more about in the months (and years?) ahead.

Robert's "Future"

I thought a wedding was a perfect place to capture the "Future" theme, and I just happened to be at a wedding over the weekend, where I snagged this image as the dance floor thinned out. The chandelier provided just enough light on the bride and groom to pull them away from the background, though the lighting still proved challenging without a flash. The couple has been dating for over 8 years, and finally decided to tie the knot, so their future as a married couple looks bright!

Michael's Future

If I told you that this picture was taken in the future, I would admittedly be late for this submission.  I do however believe that all of my lost socks go there, leaving the other half of the pair in this dimension.  Thank you H.G. Wells.

Cory's Future



In 1962, the Seattle World's Fair happened not far from where I currently live.  Actually named the Century 21 Exposition, it was a six month showcase of the future that we now live in.  Preparations for the expo involved building several new buildings, some of which still exist, as well as a monorail and the iconic tower you see here: the Space Needle.

The Space Needle is 605 feet tall at the top of the spire, and includes a restaurant at the top that slowly rotates in a complete circle. As you can see in this photo, it doesn't look all that great right now - ever since last fall, its been under an intense renovation that will replace the entire observation deck and restaurant floors with glass.  When that's done, I suppose it will be ready for the next phase of its future.

And I can't write something about the world's fair without including a bonus photo: there's a wall in the basement of the house that we are renting that is covered in old hand-written phone numbers.  If you need to call up the World's Fair or the Space Needle Restaurant, just dial away!  But you might need some operator assistance with those numbers.

Ryan's "Underestimate"

I underestimate things all the time... how difficult it is to nail focus on near macro images when you're too lazy to set up a tripod, how many rings it takes to get married....
