One of my favorite things to do introduce kids to photography. Yes, I like to take pictures OF them, but taking pictures WITH them is a whole new ballgame. I give them a camera and give them basic tips like “get real close” aka filling the frame. You really need to figure out how much…

After people were gunned down in Seattle neighborhoods, The Seattle Times asked Geo/Prometheus Brown, a member of the Blue Scholars hip-hop act, to write a guest column. So he wrote a rap and posted the lyrics (w/ video) in the online Sunday edition (June 10th). People asked for a studio version so he quickly recorded…

I was fortunate enough to go check out the U.S. Open on Tuesday. Yes, it was just a practice round, but cameras are not allowed during the actual tournament, only at practice rounds. So it’s a WIN for me. This was the second time I’ve seen Tiger Woods play. The first time was back in…

So here’s my wallpaper for the week: Taken, not by NASA, but by Russia’s weather satellite, the Electro-L. Apparently, this is not a composite made from many different photographs—this is a portrait of Earth taken in one single shot. Download full-size image. Warning, it’s huge!

I’ve been using a tool called Gmail Meter that just came out last week. It analyzes your Gmail statistics and trends. As if Google didn’t know. It’s just sharing the information with you. Gmail Meter is an Apps Script which runs on the first day of every month and sends you an email containing different…

Not sure why I was at F2.8 when I can’t focus correctly or quickly on the street. Ugh. Not the best picture, but I like his bow tie (and the bike). Officer Mark Pineda, California Highway Patrol on Market.

San Francisco’s Pier 39, with the Bay Bridge in the background. August, 2011. I was reminded of this song (CD here): I wouldn’t say I’m a super emotional personal person. I’m not good with using words to describe how I feel or what I’m thinking–pictures and music often do a better job.
