    Holi beauty, Batman! Taken at the Hindi festival of Holi, the film was shot on a Phantom Flex- a camera that can capture up to 2570 frames a second creating super slow motion. This slow motion gives it an almost-photographic feel and really helps me pay attention to the composition and the fantastic lighting.

    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.

    I’ve been reading a book called Musicophilia by Oliver Sacks, a professor of neurology and psychiatry at Columbia University and saw that Gizmodo had just posted a video about the same stuff that I’ve been reading about. Here’s the video:

    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.

    First time we were finally formally introduced, he put on a show for me. In honor of “The Hunger Games Friday,” I should call this “Larry on fire.” Nice guy–and quite humble too. You’ll usually find him at 4th and Market, in front of Old Navy.

    Here’s a second shot from Mare Island. See the first one here. Photo tip that I was able to share that night: Your DSLR may have in-camera noise reduction automatically turned on by default.

    Free night workshop that wasn’t much of a workshop. I guess you get what you pay for. I should have centered myself a bit better on this one. Not sure what the turnstiles are for, we just walked around it on the left. Anyhoo, I don’t usually shoot much night stuff but I thought those…

    Updated (Feb 27, 2012): Yet another wired.com story using this photo. If the image above looks familiar, you probably saw it when I posted about my google chrome laptop. I’m posting about it again because Wired.com used it today for one of their stories. Thanks to ethegolfman for the heads up.
