Irritated

Another from my visit to Crockett. All I can see is an irritated face with eyes looking upward. Perhaps, that is just me.

Squiggles

Another from my recent visit to Crockett under the Carquinez bridge. This is a rusted and heavily graffitied railroad car.

If you want to see really good abstracts, visit Photo Walls.

Railroad Ties

Tonite, a group of us went out to Crockett. The plan was to try for abstracts under the Carquinez Bridge. It has been about a month since I have went out to do any serious shooting. I feel rusty.

Anthropologie

A montage with the Anthropologie storefront down in Santana Row.

Berkeley Rose Garden #2

Another from the rose garden. I will hopefully go out shooting this weekend and have some new material.

Happy 4th of July!

Hope everyone has a very happy 4th of July. I think that Chip and I are going to see the San Francisco fireworks. Maybe tomorrow, I will have a few fireworks photos. However, I am not sure if I remember all the rules for getting a good fireworks shot at the moment.

Today, Chip and I visited Santana Row. We were going to lunch and the movies. I lagged behind and shot a few quick grab shots before Chip noticed. Then, I tried to hurry and catch up. Of course, Chip knows and is fairly patient with my dawdling.

Berkeley Rose Garden

Today, I went out shooting for the first time in a few weeks. Went with Aphra to the Berkeley Rose Garden. Did not feel very inspired but did take a few rose macro shots.

Dancing #13

Ok, I still have not been out shooting anything yet.  So, I return to my Dancing assignment from the Freeman-Gallant workshop.  When we left off, I was switching from my focus-optional strategy.  This is from the quarry.  The rocks were really beautifully colored.

Now,  a moment of silence for the demise of my favorite photo tool, Rawshooter Premium.  Pixmantec (the maker of Rawshooter) was acquired by Adobe earlier this week.  Maybe, I will have to evaluate Capture One.

Adrift

I have not been out shooting for far too long. After trolling the archives for a while, I am going to post this unspired shot. When I returned from my Freeman-Gallant workshop, I was inspired to go out and take new images. However, my other responsibilities have interfered. To my surprise, I went out to Sunol and did not really feel like taking any images. This is the one of those few images.

Unsettled

Today, I pulled out my little Canon S1. I have not touched it for several months. I purchased the Canon 5D and my Canon 20D became my purse camera. Well, the little Canon still had a memory card with a few images on it.

At first, I could not remember where I took this image. However, I now remember. I was sitting next to the fountain and noticed the reflections in the water. I felt really stressed and horrible because my job was miserable (I now have a new job). So this picture really does reflect my feelings of stress and worry.
