Everett Waterfront in the afternoon

These are an assortment of pictures captured with my iPhone.There is an iPhone Photo application called best camera. What it really is saying is that the best camera is the one you have with you. I love my digital cameras, my modest collection of lenses and assorted gadgets to go with them, but sometimes it is nice to have simplicity. I am amazed at some of the results I have gotten with my iPhone. I always have it with me and I like the idea of being able to catch a photo on impulse.

This is a Bird Bath in front of a Lady’s house I made a delivery to. With her permission I took the shot.

This shot is thru the front door of my old apartment building in Seattle. I lived here in 1983-84.  The Grandview @ 409 Eastlake Ave.

The door directly past the radiator on the right was my apartment. I happened by one day and stopped to get this shot.

Crosby in the hot tub. This photo was edited on my iPhone with Best Camera.

Memorial Day 2009. I was Out on deliveries driving by this cemetery. I had to have this shot.

This was suppose to be a continental breakfast at a hotel in Puyallup WA. Someone asked me which continent.

I had an ice cold glass bottle of coke and it just looked good in my delivery truck.

I call this the gold stash. PPSR. Pike place special reserve. You can only get this at the original Starbucks @ Pike Place Market. The original Starbucks coffee.

I like to say it is the coffee that launched a thousand stores.

This Photo could be the best photo I have taken with the iPhone. The Macrina Bakery on Queen Ann Hill.

Kathleen Edwards is From Canada. A singer Song writer who has a bit of a Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Tom Petty, all rolled into one Sound. See This Vid Clip. She Rocks. I first saw Kathleen Edwards November 2008 at the Tractor Tavern, a great venue in Ballard, WA.

Two weeks later I was off to Portland Oregon to the fabulous Wonder Ball Room. What a place this is. Adele was the headliner. Opening for Adele was James Morrison. Now this was just the week before  the 51st Grammy awards Feb. 8th 2009. We all knew that Adele was nominated for  four of those awards. It was a great show. Her Voice, her band is amazing. The Following week, She received two grammy awards. Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocalist for “Chasing Pavements.

Next up was Monday the 6th of April. Appearing at the “Tractor Tavern” in Ballard was Justin Townes Earl. This was the second time I caught “Mr JTE” at “The Tractor”. Accompanied by Mr Cory Younts,  Justin Townes Earle’s moustached sidekick, “Charlie,” on stage and a master multi-instrumentalist. Cory, you rock dude!

The next show was a fantastic Birthday gift courtesy of my Girl gone domestic. On July 1st we were off to the Woodland Park Zoo. We being, my daughter Gena, her best friend Maria, and   my youngest grand daughter Evelyn, for our own version of “Three Girls and their Buddy” Please see my  July 1st post.

“Three Girls and their Buddy”. Patty Griffin, Emmy Lou Harris, Shawn Colvin, and Buddy Miller.

A Great day, Great Birthday present, my Grand daughters first concert.

I happened to stumble on the “2009″ Ballard SeaFoodFest, as I went to Rudy’s Barber shop on Sunday July 26th. I decided to stick around because, as luck would have it coming up on the Main stage at 4:15 was a kind of Northwest own version of Emmy Lou Harris. From Ballard.  ”Zoe Muth and the Lost Rollers”. Country Western at it’s finest. I bought her new CD. Trust me on this one folks, she has the voice.  I can’t wait to see Zoe  again.

For my daughters birthday it was off to the Show Box Sodo September 19th.    First stop, Von’s for dinner. The headliner at the Show Box Sodo, Paolo Nutini. What a great show. His band, very talented and spectacular. We had a great night out on downtown Seattle, cab rides and all! We seem to have started a tradition I hope . Last Year She took me to see “The Wailin Jennys” at the Triple Door , and for  her Birthday we saw  Ray Lamontagne at McCaw Hall.

Last for this year, and most certainly not the least, a big show at the

Paramount theatre. Now this was a last minute gig on November 5th, and I only had one hour to drive to Freemont to secure my ticket, on the night of the show. Again as luck would have it, I was on Vacation this week. I got the listing off craigslist. The ticket was in the 20th row, center section, face value. The down side was I had no camera to take. My Nikons are to big to hide. It was up to the iPhone. What a show. I gotta put David Gray up there close to my top ten in Live performances. Yes “2009″  the Music was good!
