Long Life
 |
Hope that everyone (in the US) s enjoying their long Labor Day weekend. This one reminds me little of the Rothko painting that Chip and I saw at SF MOMA today. I like the thought of Long Life floating in the image. It was a reflection in the Metreon that I mirrored so that the text is readable.
SF MOMA
 |
Today, Chip and I visited SF MOMA to see the Edward Weston and Tina Modotti in Mexico exhibit. To my surprise, I liked Tina’s work better and so did Chip. I found Edward Weston’s work a little too stark although I am a fan of his later work. This exhibit shows early work before Weston became well-known.
Petaluma Bakery
 |
Went digging deep into the archives for this one. It is the back of a lovely bakery in Petaluma but I know longer remember its name. We went on a visit to Petaluma for my Color Composition class. Our teacher, Monte Hartman, also took this shot. The owner came out and asked for a copy of his shot and offered some baked goods.
Midnight Walk
 |
I have another roll of B&W film in for processing. However, it is going to be at least a week before I get it back from the lab. The first place that I visited said 3 weeks so a week is better.
This is a montage of two other posted images, one from Santana Row and the other from Golden Gate park.
Yosemite #24
 |
This is another from the ’Lost Yosemite’ series. This was taken the first day. As you can tell, we arrived too late for the beautiful light and instead had midday sun.
Yosemite #23
 |
Another in the Lost Yosemite series. Check out this magical image.
Yosemite #22
 |
This is another from the "Lost Yosemite" series. This one started out as a stitched panorama however after a reflection I decided it had a fatal flaw. All the action is in the center. So out comes the crop tool and a square image results. This one I wish that I had a do-over on because the scene was full of potential. It is was taken during my first hour in Yosemite and I was just visually overwhelmed by the beauty.
Yosemite #21
Quail Feathers
 |
Tonite, I stopped and picked up some seed pods before returning to my car. I was drawn to their shape and color. On previous hikes, I found some California Quail feathers. Together, I made this scanned image but did not like the color. Plus, the black background felt too heavy so I inverted the scan and turned it to B&W with a sepia tint.
