Spring is on the way

The last week has been dreary and cold in Seattle. It even snowed one day! Cooper spent most of his time inside sleeping and recovering from all the fun he had the week before. Today he’s back outside with his camera! It’s a beautiful sunny day (56 F).

Last week we appeared on DarynKagan.com. Daryn did a great video blog about Cooper and how his camera works. We were really impressed with how it turned out. Cooper was pleased that he didn’t need to fly anywhere to do the interview. And we appeared in The Oregonian. It’s really fun to be a part of such a positive story. However, not everyone is so happy about it – we also were written about in a Letter to the Editor of the Seattle P-I. Apparently some local photographers are worried about Cooper stealing their opportunity to display their work in galleries. Though fortunately for those in the professional photography field, Cooper does not do any work for hire.

Recently we got a text message from a cousin in Boise, Idaho. Apparently a 17-year old friend of hers is in a photography class that has been studying Cooper’s work! Cooper also got a shout out at SomeGeekinTN. We have also seen a lot of traffic on the Flickr stream from China in the last week. Welcome friends from around the world!

Also, Cooper’s show is still up at the Urban Lights Studios in Seattle’s Greenwood neighborhood for another week! The photos are on display this week through March 10th (Wednesday through Friday, 12pm – 6pm). View and purchase Cooper’s framed photos at the gallery store.
Let’s see what Cooper has been up to!

Cooper took this photo of an antique 35 mm projector in the Cross Films office. This angle is from the pillow he sleeps on in the window. I really like the shadow on the side wall.

When Cooper has been outside it’s been gray and dull. This one is a great one of the low grasses in a neighbor’s yard.

Cooper is currently shooting some beautiful pre-spring shots. Stay tuned for new images soon!

    Cooper you do a good job. I would imagine you take lots of ‘from where I was sleeping’ pictures, if you are anything like me.

    I hope you get paid with lots of treats.
