This week’s Random Italy Photo is from a trip to the Veneto in 2005. More specifically, at Castello Scaligero in Sirmione on Lake Garda. I was definitely into “framing” my shots back then (like in my Palazzo Pubblico shot from Siena). It would be interesting to shoot this again today. …
Here are another two weeks of my Project 365. I am really heading down the home stretch now. I’m still behind on posting them (as usual), but this takes me up through October 3. So that means as of writing this, I am currently less than 30 days away from …
October 7th was a night to remember for fans of soccer in the US. The second largest crowd in MLS history (66,452) cheered on the Seattle Sounders in a rout against Cascadia arch-rivals Portland Timbers to a final score of 3-0. The noise in CenturyLink Field after each of the …
Last Friday I was on my way to Vancouver, BC to shoot the Sounders and Whitecaps Cascadia Cup match so I wasn’t able to post my weekly Random Italy Photo. But I’m back to it this week. And we return once again to Volterra, where I had previously shared a …
I have fallen way behind on my Project 365 posts again. So rather than do one really long entry, I’ve decided to do them in smaller batches. Here are the first couple weeks of September. I’ll try to post another batch in a few days. Follow @mikerussellfoto Day 294: Morning …
On Saturday, Sept. 29, the Seattle Sounders traveled north of the border to face the Vancouver Whitecaps in another Cascadia Cup derby. It was a bit of a feisty affair, as is to be expected with these rivalry games. But neither team was able to get on the score sheet, …
On Sunday, Sept. 23, the University of Washington hosted Seattle University. The two teams went into halftime scoreless, but less than 10 seconds into the second half Abdul Aman gave the Huskies a 1-0 lead. Thirty minutes later, UW defender and captain Dylan Tucker-Gangnes scored off a quickly taken free …
There were few highlights for Sounders fans in Saturday’s 2-1 loss to league-leading San Jose Earthquakes. Topping them was Steve Zakuani scoring for the first time since returning from his injury. And David Estrada saw his first minutes in an MLS match since breaking his foot in training back in …
Man riding his bicycle in the outskirts of Bassano del Grappa, in June, 2005. The town of Bassano del Grappa is home to the Italian spirit that many Americans, if they’ve tried it, equate to drinking rubbing alcohol – grappa. And in some of its cruder forms, they probably aren’t …
This week’s Random Italy Photo is from a random visit to Volterra back in 2007. I don’t recall the circumstances that brought us to the small Tuscan town, but I know it was not a planned stop. We did zero research before heading there. I think we were just driving …
