downtown Seattle and really enjoyed just walking around with Mark and Veronica (above) and seeing the sites. \u00a0We went to the Seattle Antique Mall, the Pike&#8217;s Fish Market, (if you&#8217;ve ever watched the Food Channel, you&#8217;ve seen them tossing the fish back and forth!), and enjoyed the artisans and the great food. \u00a0It was a fun day of just enjoying a great city and it&#8217;s people. \u00a0I dropped by the first Starbucks and bought some fun things for my kids Christmas stockings, yes I start early! \u00a0Anyway Mark Kettenhofen has been more than a co worker, and more than a friend, we&#8217;ve seen a ton of great adventures together including doing the second America From 500 Feet book as a team. \u00a0It was fitting and real gift from God that I would be teamed with him for my last major assignment for Nikon!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I also really enjoyed just doing some fun shooting of a eclectic set of subjects, hope you enjoy them! \u00a0The image below was a bear in a chocolate shop I had to pose with, thank&#8217;s Mark for capturing two pudgy bears!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a
