View from San Bruno Mountain

Not the most spectacular image but a different perspective on a familiar scene. This was taken on San Bruno Mountain which is south of San Francisco. I was up there to take pictures of "Flat Stanley" for my cousin's daughter.

Fortune

This the storefront window of a Chinatown fortune cookie factory.

There is a lot going on in this picture. What do you think? Does it do anything for you?

@ the zoo

This squirrel was happy to hide in the swans' food dish for a while.

"oh no, have they spotted me?..."















"... uh oh...

.... EAT EAT before they chase me away!!"

Eric, how did your shots at this location come out? (Eric was there that day too.)

Sign in Millbrae

I had coffee in Millbrae this morning. These signs were all over the small downtown area parallel to El Camino Real, but I didn't see any events or parade, just a lot of these signs (several dozen) - however, the restaurants seemed to be filled, so the food must be pretty good around here.

Happy Chinese New Year -- 2007 !!!

Gung Hay Fat Choy!

Let's go out and photograph Lunar New Year activities across the country! Let's see them!

I noticed that the Search feature actually works now! You can search on keywords within our forum. Try it, it works great.

I also noticed that on the last few posted pictures on the new Blogger, we no longer have automatic resizing when we click to see the full-sized image. Because of this, you should really try to resize your pictures to no larger than 700 to 800 pixels wide on the long side. This makes it easier to view the whole image on a browser's screen without having to scroll.

Broken.

Full Sized Queen

Here's a shot of the Queen Mary 2 made with a fifty year old Zeiss medium format folding camera. I used Kodak Plus-X film.

Surfers at Sunset

I shot this last month at Ocean Beach as the sun was setting.

Made the Switch to New Blogger!

Hi Everyone,

I made the switch this morning to the new Google based Blogger.

Please try it out to make sure you're able to post to the forum.

A completely unrelated picture:

This was the day that the Queen Mary 2 was sailing into S.F. As Martin mentioned, there were hoards of excited people hoping to catch a glimpse of the ship as it sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge.

Love In Union Square

Happy Valentine's Day!

On a side note, I think Blogger is about to force me to convert our blog to the "new" Blogger. After I make the switch, you will need to use your Google ID to log in, I think. We'll just have to see what problems crop up. Please let me know if you have any problems logging in or posting.

Ant

Photoshopped to add darkness. And sharpened. I wish I had got more detail but he ran away very quickly ;)

Atlantis in the Bahamas

D200, 35mm, f /2.0, 1/500 sec, ISO250

I took this yesterday on our last day of a business trip the Resort Atlantis in the Bahamas. If any of you need to warm up, right now, this is the place to go; a resort for adult kids. Great food, wonderful presentation and hospitality, along with things that make you feel like a kid again. All this without the following days of soreness from doing things you should not have tried. Atlantis has the largest aquarium in the world which means I have lots of fish pictures. The presentation at the resort is as if you were swimming and walking through the lost ruins of Atlantis. The colors in the Bahamas is wonderful, and this place has some great sculptures.

Night Skaters

Yashica T4, Ilford XP2 Super

One crisp winter evening, we walked down to Embarcadero Center to see the ice skaters on the last day of operation (until next Christmas) for the ice rink.

The Queen Mary 2 Arrives in SF

Traffic was a mess in the Presidio. Lots of folks were out on a nice day to see the ship come in.

Tidepool at Dusk

Sony DSC-H1

I borrowed Eric's camera for one shot. I've always liked this camera :).

I had my Yashica T4 P&S w/Ilford XP2 with me, but I had already finished the roll by this time.

Princeton at Dusk

After going to the beach, we went to the town of Princeton for dinner. This is a shot from the beach. I've always found it interesting. I guess there's a research complex of some sort near there.

People at a Tidepool

Warren, our wives, and I went to the beach this afternoon at lowtide and visited a tidepool. Here are some people who were out on the rocks looking at the sealife. Very interesting stuff to be sure.

Postcard from San Francisco

Here's a postcard for all you folx out there who don't live in San Francisco. It's a shot I took from above Crissy Field.

International Building in Fort Lauderdale

Reflections

D200 with wide angle lens

Early morning light on the International Building in Fort Lauderdale. The reflection of the clouds, the building itself, and the palm trees and the size of the building left me with a feeling of a powerful place. Maybe because this building is where many high ranking South American foreign government officials meet.

This picture was taken with 55mm and getting the lines correct, almost, was the challenge.

Which one do you like and why? Does it give you any feelings?

250 W Pratt Street - Again...

It's the photo-architectural gift that keeps on giving!

My Early Morning Niche in the Park

Nikon D100, Tamron 24-135mm

I come here every morning to practice Taichi for about 40 minutes. The stables are currently unused, so there is relatively little traffic through here.

I'm curious if this picture elicits any emotional response from anyone. Anyone?

I learned a little while ago that sometimes pictures are really "just pictures", and they may not cause any sort of feelings from the certain viewers at all. I ponder these ideas somtimes...hmmm.
