Me in 2005: Best part of this was seeing some of the diversity of Washington residents, and learning a little bit more about them. I would love to see a more in-depth photography book focusing on different communities w/in the Seattle area.

As a newbie to the area, I really enjoyed this visual tour put together through the lens of the 24/7 project.
