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.

Light Up the Sky

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.

“Love your neighbor as yourself. (Reference)” Am I inadvertently starting a trend of self-portraits around my birthday/Christmas? See #1 here. This one includes my photo friend Brad. Image info: Forgot to take down this guy’s name. We just chatted a bit while he lit a smoke. Taken somewhere in the Mission. Man, I gotta work…

Big Dog

Ran into David and his dog Cinnamon yesterday while shooting in the Tenderloin. I suspect the dog would have been just as tall as David if they were standing on level ground. I usually roam the streets with my 35mm, but I had my 85mm on and didn’t back up fast enough so I chopped…

Not sure why, but like the title says, I have a thing for orange. Remember this one? Anyways, the bikes not even in focus and I chopped off his head and shoes, so nothing special about this picture but oh well. I like orange. I still need to sell my bike. Maybe I need to…

Was walking around with Jenny and we both saw this random cleaning cart lit up in the middle of the street. Picture is pretty much straight out of camera. ‘Spot’ted near Chinatown, San Francisco.

Random chubby kid wearing an emperor’s hat. The lady was really nice and allowed me to take a couple pictures. I think I mis-focused a little. Seen at the Forbidden City, Beijing, China.

The Bus Life: Shirley

Have you ever ridden in a car or bus and wondered about the other people in the other cars or on the bus with you? Where are they going? Where did they come from? What is their life like? Well, after some brainstorming and beers this weekend, I was challenged to go beyond “observing” people,…

For Old Times’ Sake

I haven’t posted up many any black and white photos, at least none that I can remember. I see a lot of street photographers using b/w–guess it gives images that “timeless” feel, as if the images could have been taken in any era. The image above was taken last week, March 21, 2010. Mini MINI…

I gotta work on capturing smoke. It just doesn’t look the same in the image above as it did in person. The lighting in the image above was pretty harsh. I didn’t do much to the photo–just caught her as she walked out of the shadows.
