At the true center of Seattle stands the Smith Tower. Nobody looks here anymore and the tower is made to look low by the newer, taller skyscrapers. Yet anyone with a good eye will see its unique design. Along the whole western United States it is the only building remaining with hired elevator operators. These men or women, dressed accordingly with a cordial nobility the job entails, work to assure your safe ascent and descent. They are anything but mere button pushers. There are few jobs as important as this anymore. If you enter the building's lobby, you will sense a strong misdirection. Only Operators can assuage this stultification. We all need a guide in our lives to approach the center of the city. There are floors we may not know or be permitted to enter, not due to some business owning the floor, but because it is not yet time.

I'm Jess (people call me Jesse too) and I have almost always lived in the Seattle-Tacoma Metro area of Washington State. I'm a very obsessed photographer. Digital and analog. I particularly have fallen for street photography in the last 2 years. I have met so many talented artists here on dA and learned so much from the amazing photographers here. dA is definitely my home as I've been uploading here for over 9 years now and can't find myself to go anywhere else. It is truely inspiring to be a part of this community. I thoroughly enjoy to watch and follow deviants works so If you choose to watch me, expect a watch in return. Cheers!
