#98102

320) This is a very unique mailbox, for two reasons! First, it is the ONLY box servicing the Portage Bay neighborhood, which is quite a responsibility. Second, I’m pretty sure it’s the first box I’ve found that sits at the intersection of two avenues. Faithful readers will know that the vast majority of Seattle boxes sit where a street meets an avenue, with the occasional boulevard thrown into the mix. Or maybe even a “way!” But two avenues? That’s freaky.

316) Yeah, I’ll get back to posing with mailboxes soon. Gotta take care of something else right now.

20) So what’s with the funky photo treatment? Am I trying to make some statement about the grittiness of the Capitol Hill neighborhood? Am I reflecting the starkness of the human existence? No, nothing quite like that. I visited this box at Boylston Ave E and E Republican in the early evening, just when it was starting to get dark. The lightening apparently confused my camera, which overcompensated by by totally blowing out my forehead. Applying this rough sepia filter is just my way of covering up for an otherwise bad photo.
