Missy Enjoying the Integrated Land Uses at Lakepointe - 2014


From the City of Kenmore Website:

"Lakepointe is intended to integrate different land uses and activities in a complementary manner to minimize the conflicts and integrate the usage among residents, shoppers, vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. The mixed-use nature of this development will provide almost a mile of Lake Washington and Sammamish River channel shoreline access."

Please don’t worry about Missy and the photography crew trespassing during her photo shoot. There are no fences, and as of June 27, 2016, there are no posted trespass warnings. Maybe there should be?

Photographer Stephen Benine

Henri Cartier-Bresson commented about his creative method, “There are no rules. One should not try too hard to explain the mystery. It is better just to be receptive, a Leica within easy reach.”

Bresson could easily have been describing Seattle photographer, Stephen Benine, right down to the “Leica within easy reach.” Steve knows his Leica well, taking full advantage of its exceptional capabilities. He shoots with a fine eye for composition and can be found rambling about Seattle with his camera. Receptive, just waiting for the moment.

The next photo by Stephen is a jewel with a really strange kind of loneliness in it. It is like a LA lonely. "Missing the party" type of lonely.
