The photographic journey of GILBERT W. ARIAS, a Seattle/Tacoma based Photojournalist..

In 2009, like so many of my newspaper colleagues I found myself unemployed after the 146-yr-old newspaper I worked at closed its doors and moved to a web only edition. Some 12-years later I find I’m still mourning the loss of another great American industry, the daily newspaper.

On the Needle

Workers on top of the Seattle Space Needle stop for a photo opportunity as they install fireworks for an upcoming event.
I made this photo with one of my Holga plastic camera while standing in the roof access hatch. I love the camera’s unpredictably results, the vignetting, distortions and blurred images brings me back to simpler place and time, which I find to be a enjoyable alternative to the sterilize dit-cameras available today.
