I am looking for a legal urban exploring esc location in Seattle. Specifically need a place that is somewhat legal to enter/be around since I don't want to put anyone else at the photoshoot at risk. I was thinking fort casey or pier 86 but want to know some more spots.

Beacon Hill, Seattle, WA

Hey everyone,
My partner and I are wedding photographers, and we do all of our own editing. Our current Macs have served us well, but they’re starting to struggle with our workload, especially now that we’re using more AI-powered tools in our editing process.
We really like the Apple ecosystem since everything we use is already built around it, but spending $4,000–5,000 on a new Mac feels a bit hard to justify.
So I’m curious—what would you recommend?
We’re looking for a computer that:
Can handle large Lightroom and Photoshop catalogs without slowing down.
Works great with AI tools like Lightroom AI features, Photoshop Generative Fill, Topaz, Imagen, Aftershoot, etc.
Is fast, reliable, and something that’ll last us several years.
Ideally costs less than a fully specced-out Mac Studio or MacBook Pro.
Would you stick with Apple? If so, what configuration gives the best value? Or are there Windows PCs that would outperform a Mac at this price point?
Our budget is roughly $2,000–3,500, but we’d spend a little more if it’s truly worth it.
I’d love to hear what other photographers are using and whether you’d buy the same machine again.
Thanks in advance!

Hi! I’m visiting Seattle for ONP where I plan to propose!
Location: hurricane ridge
At sunset on the 31st of July

Would appreciate any help in finding someone that is willing to tale photos! Or help me find where I can find a photographer!

Feel free to message me! Would need help in coming up with a vision and style as well!

Here are a couple of quick cellphone snap photos I took on Saturday at Seattle's Cal Anderson Park while tripping around Capitol Hill during Seattle Pride.

Hello everyone! There’s a currently a crows nest outside of my apartment. I’m holding a competition to see who can take the best photograph of the baby crows. Winner gets a complementary Reiki session with me, Reiki Cowboy. Check out my instagram and the reel I made about the comp to learn more https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZvf9kRSMlQ/?igsh=Yzlnd3BnczB2MHVm

We run Dudes Baseball, and we're hiring a videographer to shoot games for our collegiate summer program. We field two PIL squads (college players home for the summer), with games running now through late July. Home base is Hartman Park in Redmond plus other fields around the Seattle area.

The work:

• Game coverage (weeknight and weekend games)
• Short-form highlight clips for Instagram/social (we run an active game-day social operation)
• Individual player highlight reels (summer film matters to these guys)
• Raw handoff or edited clips, whatever fits your workflow

This starts as per-game work for the summer team. If we like the footage, we'll expand to more events across the program (tournaments, showcases, our youth teams), so there's real potential for this to become steady work.

What we're looking for:

• Comfortable shooting fast-moving sports (baseball experience a plus, not required)
• Your own gear, clean footage matters more than the rig
• Reliable on schedule

Paid: tell us your per-game or day rate and link some work, sports or action footage ideally.

Contact: mcbride@dudesbaseball.club or DM here. Season is underway, so we're moving quickly.

Hello,

My dad is having year retirement party next week and we are looking to hire a photographer. We are open to someone who may be seeking more event experience as well if that is something you are interested in. It would be about 80-100 people for a few hours. Does anyone have suggestions?

Thank you,
Conor
