Ballard resident, political activist and Nordic-inspired magic surrealist Stephen Lundgren shares his photography from Ballard and beyond. CLICK IMAGE FOR MORE PHOTOS.
Ballard resident and neighborhood activist Stephen Lundgren is a busy man.
He has served on the Crown Hill/Ballard Neighborhood Planning Association Board, he is a member of Friends of Ballard Commons Park and was on the park's project advisory team, and he helped get funding for the Ballard Bridge art. Most recently he has been working with the Northwest Market Street/45th Avenue Transit Priority Improvement Advisory Panel.
And, at some point between asking the tough transportation questions at Ballard District Council meetings and facilitating communication between the neighborhood and the city, Lundgren finds time to indulge his true passion – photography.
"Just doing the politico assignments on request," he said. "Art and writing being my main preference."
Lundgren recently sorted through fives years of photos of Ballard and the rest of the city in order to share some of his less-visible work with the community.
He describes his artistic aesthetic as magic surrealism with Nordic influence.
