Suicide Barrier, Nikon D100

For those not familiar with the area, this was shot from the Golden Gate Bridge looking towards the City.

"Abandoned", Nikon D100, 85mm f1.8D

This shot if from my Lake Merced series. I was walking around a deserted restaurant at the lake when I spotted the phoneless phone booth. I shot a group of pictures in this area. It took me a long time to decide which picture from this group to show you. I was deciding on which composition would have the most meaning.

All Lines Lead to...Gail, Pt. Lobos, California, Nikon D100

This is just a fun shot that I snapped while hiking on one of the trails along the rocky shoreline of Pt. Lobos.

Lunch hour napping

I shot this last month while walking along the Embarcadero.

SFMOMA Peekaboo, Nikon D100

This was taken in Jan. 2004 at the SF Museum of Modern Art. We were there to see the Diane Arbus photo exhibit, but aside from the great art, the building itself has some dramatic architectural features.

Madison, Nikon D100

I grabbed this shot at a Christmas party in Dec. 2004. Madison is Benson's daughter, in case you didn't know.

Vernal Falls, Yosemite, May 2002, Sony DSC-D770 (1.5MP)

While processing this picture, I realized that it would look better in B&W, so I converted it. It had a "vintage" look to it that seemed better in B&W. If you look closely on the right of the falls, you can see people walking up the Mist Trail.

Right after I uploaded it I thought to myself I should have done some post-processing to brighten it up. This was taken in fine jpg on my D70 so I was limited in using the curves function in Photoshop to lighten it up. My last few pictures I've taken in raw and it is so nice to do white balance correction. I may switch to raw shooting from now on and just do some Photoshop processing on each shot I want to keep. Thanks for the recommendation, Warren. Anyone else want to see more birthday pictures? Just kidding ;-).

This was just a snapshot of our daughter's 2nd birthday but I found it interesting that by inadvertantly using the mirror on the wall, I was able to get a picture of my friends standing next to me.
