Week of Dec 7th

This is from a non-photography project though it photographed very well.  It took me forever to find someone willing to do give this a go for me and it came out well.  Much praise should be given to Michael at Paragon Frames here in SF.  Once I have the cash I'll make a few more.  They're mantis skins embedded flat in plexi.  They will be light from the side with LEDs in a frame I've designed and will soon get made on a 3D printer.

Dead gull at Ocean Beach, I swear these things are endless there.

My neighbor's dog Blossom.  She's pretty boss but doesn't like the water like my friend's dog Puma.  Unfortunately the water fills Bree with endless joy so she ends up bouncing in and of the water to play with Blossom and the waves.

Bree being and my canon 5Dii being not a sports camera.  Now how awesome it would if could do it my 5Dii just can't track fast enough to keep my monster in focus when she charges me.

I've taken tons of rock texture images over the years and I have no idea what to do with them

These two are from Ocean Beach on the morning of that storm that was over publicized in the news.  Honestly it was a pretty big snoozer compared to the storms we get out in the Great Plains.

These two are from the storm day as well up near Fairfax in Cascade Canyon Open Space.  The place is simply gorgeous but has no parking.  Bree kept trying to suicide jump into those falls.

Rodeo Beach in GGNRA, bigger waves than that morning at Ocean Beach but still smaller than I have seen it in the past.

Awful tourist picture

Ocean Beach again, I'm really starting to miss the Rocky Mountains.

Week of Nov 30 in pictures

I'm going to start updating this blog weekly with photos from each week.  Enjoy!

 

 

These are two are from one of the many sunset trips I take to Ocean Beach with my dog.  It's become a mainstay of the weekends.

More Ocean Beach.  The erosion from the past week of rain is amazing.  Night trip taken again for my dog's sake.

View I see everyday on the way from the apartment.  Drive's me nuts when there's a good sunset and I'm trapped in the city.

The elevator has been jammed on my floor since Wednesday.

Taken on the way to work.  This is the second time I've found dead rats on my walk in.  Last time was 3 baby rats.  They were still moving but cold to touch so there wasn't any hope for them.

Bug smushed onto matte board.  Found it at work. I cut the board down to 8x10 and I'm tempted to frame it for giggles.

Hallway in the apartment

View from the top of the mountain in Loma Alta park.  Would have been an amazing shoot with the clouds but the light just wasn't there.

Scenes from San Francisco 3

Recently got a 40mm pancake lens for my canon which means I don't have to wait to borrow the fuji x100 I've been goofing around with.  I admit I naysayed the lens when it came out but now that I have been using one I'm in love.  It's by no means suitable for serious work but it makes having my camera on my a lot more convenient and enjoyable.  It's been particularly JAWSOME for goofing with my puppy.
