TIA wishes all of you the very best for your photography as well as both your professional and personal endeavors in 2023!

If interested, you can watch a one-minute timelapse video that I created which showcases the 2023 New Year's fireworks in Seattle. It's entertaining.

Alongside the regular fireworks display around the Space Needle, this year's show introduced a new feature to top previous shows: a laser light show created by 200 hundred drones flying above the city. The "Happy 2023" message in the photo is just one example of the images that the drones produced in the open air by the Space Needle.

Please enjoy a few entertaining highlights from this year in photography. Very much looking forward to adding some international cities next year. (The pandemic has postponed Dubai, Lisbon, and Marrakesh for a while now. I need to get my passport renewed). In the meantime, enjoy some images of Seattle, Minneapolis, and Boise, Idaho, here in the States.

TIA wishes all of you a happy remainder of the holiday season and the very best for your professional and personal endeavors in 2023!

Please enjoy a very cheerful video showcasing several photographs and timelapse footage of Seattle's festive decorations during the holiday season.

Featured scenes include Westlake Park, Kerry Park, Lake Union, the Space Needle, Pike Place Market, Elliott Bay, and a few street intersections in the city center. The majority of the coverage was executed in November and December 2022.

Wishing you a very safe, relaxing, happy, and merry holiday season as the year approaches its conclusion.

Enjoy a look at the Emerald City on the rare occasion when it's covered in a blanket of fresh snow. In fact, we received nine inches of snow by February 13, 2021, making this the snowiest day in Seattle since January 1969.

Sometimes I wonder: Without the Space Needle, would this cityscape be recognizable if the name of the city wasn't identified?

Interesting query.

"It's always in the back of your mind
When everything is dark, still something shines
One chilly afternoon, you drew the blind.

The earth was frozen
Ice upon the water
All at once you saw her
There in the winter light."
