Pike Street Market, 2/2013

Each year, Microsoft’s technical employees (as opposed to sales and marketing) get to attend a technical training event in Seattle called TechReady. In 2013, TechReady happened in early February.

This year marks my 10th TechReady (and its predecessor). Each year, I visit the world famous Pike Street market at least once during break. Sometimes my friends and I grab lunch there; this year I went there alone, with the idea of doing some street photography with my Nokia.

If you’ve been to Seattle during the winter before, you’ll know that sky is usually gray. Fortunately the sun came out one of the days, so I took a stroll down Pike Street to get some shots in.

These pictures have gone through my standard workflow – Nokia camera > Edit > Nokia Creative Studio.

Feeling all boxed in?

For the bird (almost) in-flight picture below, I must have taken 10 shots, each progressively closer to her before she was intimidated enough to get away from this annoying human photog.

Due to pressure from Windows Phone, BlackBerries are often found in deep discount.
