I got a call last week from my pastor who asked if I could film the city of Seattle, the good and the bad, in the streets, for a sermon series on prayer. He wanted to use the video to inspire people who call Seattle their home to pray for the city. So I got my handy-dandy GH1 and a 50mm lens and walked the mean streets of Seattle. As is the case in any major city, there is the beautiful (as seen in the timelapse footages) and the ugly (as seen in the homeless) all within a few blocks from each other.

The timelapse footage of the Seattle waterfront (1st clip and 2nd to last clip) as well as the timelapse clip of the clouds towards the end was provided by Ed Aites, a local photographer here in Seattle. Thanks for the use of your footage, Ed.

And a shout out to Pastor David for driving me around and trekking with me all afternoon!
