2011.02.13 - Musée Mécanique

Big thanks to Josh and Matea for suggesting we check out the Musée Mécanique (http://museemecaniquesf.com/).  I have wanted to go for some time and finally checked it out today.  It is located at the end of Taylor street (Fisherman's Wharf).  What is it?  An amazing arcade which houses games and novelties, some over 100 years old.  Most pieces only cost a quarter or two.  This place is amazing.  They also have Pac-Man and other digital arcades for those of you who only want to step 25 years back in time.

If you have a chance to see the exhibit 'Impressionist Paris: City of Light' at the Legion of Honor I strongly recommend you check it out.  I snapped this photo just before checking out the exhibit.

Trying On A Coat

A Holga (toy camera) shot perhaps?  Nope.  Sorry to dissapoint .... :-).  I took this at the Alameda Antiques Faire (be sure to check out my older posts from the faire) with my D300s.  In Photoshop I created a new layer and filled it completely with a deep blue color (000d5e).  I then chose 'exclusion', adjusted the opacity and voila!  Well almost .... I also added a bit of a vignette.  New technology for an old look ... just like the gal in this photo.
