The Fremont Solstice Celebration

Fremont is a Seattle neighborhood just north of the city center.  It was traditionally a blue-collar neighborhood of fishermen, ship chandlers and boatyards.  It became the hub of a thriving arts and crafts community and is host to an annual Solstice Celebration -- music and dancing, food and drink, a huge street fair, and a wonderfully goofy parade that allows only human-powered floats and no commercial sponsors, and features lavish costumes (or lack thereof).  Alas, Fremont is evolving into a trendy city neighborhood and each year I fear that the Solstice Celebration will be the last one.

The complete project currently has 82 prints --
