Another great day in S.F.  Can you guess where I where went?

There were some ominous looking clouds hanging around S.F. today.  Thankfully they didn't begin to tear on us until well after our farmers market walk.

Dear credit card number thief (or thieves),
Please stop stealing and please focus your efforts on more profitable (and legal) strategies.  I don't take pleasure in having to cancel cards and I am guessing you won't take joy in getting locked up over a few dollars.

Cheers,
Chris ;-)

Walking home I took this quick shot with my camera phone.  Two minutes (literally) of Photoshop and here we are.  Sometimes I really am grateful for the digital age.

2010.02.17 - 100th POSTING!!!!!!!

THIS IS MY 10TH POSTING! WOOO HOOOO! I really hope you have been enjoying the postings. I look forward to the next 100 and beyond. As always I would love to hear from you. What does an image remind you of? Does it engage you or make you feel something?  If you think I could improve on something that is great as well. Your comments are always welcome. Cheers!

Today is Ash Wednesday.  Before singing for the mass I took notice of how the lighting was setting the mood and I tried to capture it in this photo.  Although the focus of the mass isn't on the priests I did like how the velvet chairs with programs popped with the flood light above.

I took a few shots of this perpective walking along Bush Street but found this one (when I was walking) to provide the most interest.  The still shots were too static.

FYI, tomorrow I will have my 100th post!  Woo hoo!!!!!

2010.02.15 - Stinson to Tamalpais

Life from Death


Today was another great day to be outside.  My feet are nice and tired after a quick paced three hour hike with about 1,700' elevation change . . . whew.  The hike started in Stinson Beach and went up Mt. Tamalpais.  There were many waterfalls and the recent rains made for a verdant trail.  Mushrooms were everywhere (note the orange ones in the photograph).

Spring Light

Spring is coming!  We took a bike ride around San Andreas Lake and Crystal Springs Resevoir.  Paved trails run for about 6 miles and have some pretty spots to pause and enjoy a little nature.

Golden Gate from Baker Beach

Waves at Baker Beach


We went out to Baker Beach (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker_Beach) today to watch the sunset and caught some spectacular scenes.  It was an unusually warm day and there were plenty of people at the beach . . . it was just cold enought to keep the nudists away.  The waves were also spectacular.  They looked to be between 4 and 12 feet.

Drop


I was messing around with a slick insulative product that was in part composed of a water wicking substance.  When I rubbed my hand on it it too became waterproof . . . thus the droplet of water beaded up like mercury.

I was heading back from Los Angeles today and snapped a few photos of sheep as we were driving by.  I caught the back side of  a black sheep (look left).

Headlights

I took this out of an apartment window (freehand . . . . a little fuzzy :-o).  This is a busy street and I couldn't pass up the chance to take a long exposure.

Studies In Green


Happy Groundhog Day! . . . or is it?  We are told we have 6 more weeks of winter today and so I present you with a little San Francisco green to cheer things up.
