03 Jul 2011

Happy summer everyone! This collection post revolves around several themes this time around including youth and celebrating gay pride. Last week, we celebrated pride in Seattle and the rainbow flag is still hanging up in nearly every other business around here! Also – since it’s been three months since the last collection post, the pictures have accumulated so when I originally started working on this, I had close to 200 pictures in one post. Not wanting to freeze your computers from loading all of them, I’ve decided to split it. There are 100 pictures in this post and in another week I will post A Collection Part 25. Hopefully this is easier for all of you to see, but you’ll also be getting another one in a week as opposed to waiting three months again!

Have a happy Fourth of July everyone!

Jimi Hendrix Mosaic

I am loving this portrait of rock legend Jimi Hendrix. On February 24, the mosaic made of 5,000 plectrums was auctioned off for £23,000 at a charity event for the Cancer Research UK’s Sound & Vision.
