Photo Vision 2

Dan got one of me from the same spot, shooting from almost the same vantage point. My shot on top here. 

Collaborative Diptych #1

Last December (2014), Dan and I went on a photo outing to downtown SF. Between the two of us, we came up with almost 50 selected pictures. I was deciding how to present them to show our different points of view, and I decided to try using the diptych format in those cases where we photographed the same subject. It was a fun outing, and it has taken me a while to finally get around to showing them. Dan left it up to me to choose from his collection. 

What do you think?

I missed this shot with your typical little old lady walking across the doorway, but a few moments later, this young lady walked across... :)

Stow Lake Moment

Lumix G5, Nikkor-H 50mm f2.0

I love the image "signature" of this lens, especially for B&W images.

Has anyone else paid attention to your lens signature? :)

Dan, for some reason, when you create a post on Blogger, I don't get a notification email. So I didn't know about your last few posts until I came onto the blog to upload my post.

Sorry for the delay, but I will comment on your excellent images very soon.

Arch Series on the Seine, Paris

Lumix LX5

I went for a walk along the Seine one day while we were in Paris. As I walked along the bank, I saw a wonderful mix of curves and lines as I got close to one of the bridges. I took a number of shots, and I picked three to post here.

Which one do you like, and please explain what it is that you like (or not like) about it.

Hey, I missed playing here on our blog, let's get it rolling again!

A Face in the Crowd

Lumix GF1

Shot last weekend at the Mid-Autumn (Mooncake) Festival in Chinatown.

Happy 10th Anniversary to us! I thank all of you, my FPCF Friends, for making this blog a really fun and interesting place to be.

I decided to continue as-is for now, and I will send out a more detailed private email with my additional thoughts on the topic, but for now, please continue contributing as you have been doing.

Gail and I will be away for a couple of months and I'll be enjoying our blog from afar. Please keep posting! I want to see what's happening back home!

Seeing the the world through you eyes and vision is very important to me.

Happy Shooting!

San Francisco, CA

I saw her lost in thought at the side of the road. She noticed me an instant before I took the photo but played along. I love it when people do that.

Voigtlander Bessa R, Voigtlander 35mm f2.5

Shooting the test roll of film gave me an opportunity to shoot some street stuff, and it felt good to practice it with film and a rangefinder. Actually, it really doesn't matter what kind of camera! Just get out there, and shoot already!

Opening Ceremony, Carnaval 2014

An Aztec Dance Troupe performs a ceremony just before the start of the Grand Parade. I loved the spectacular and colorful costumes, especially the feathered headresses.

Beautiful Costume

He turned left right after crossing the street and missed seeing her walking his way.

 Nice Hat!

"Low and Slow", I enjoyed talking to the owner of this 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS. I told him that his car was really nice, and that my father used to have a 64 Impala. Ours also had the 2 speed powerglide automatic transmission. Too bad I forgot to take picture of him for our "Strangers" project. By the time I thought about it and walked back to the car, it was too late.
