Room and Ticket

My conference was just two blocks away from the train station. You can tell what I did…

Painter, painting

Every now and then I get the idea to venture out and do some street photography. And since I don’t really even know how to do street photography in a way that is, you know, good, the best I can achieve so far is mixed results.

And here’s an example of some mixed results – a guy painting the arch above a doorway at a train station. You can’t see it in the photo (remember when I said “mixed results”?), but he was using a tiny paint roller.

“Look up!” That’s what I kept telling myself as I walked around San Francisco. And my apologies to anyone I may have walked into while I was looking up…

Where cultures – and the moon – converge

I hope I didn’t oversell this yesterday.

I also hope no one is badly shocked to see a color image on my blog, but this one couldn’t be in anything but color. (Photoshop and I tried it as a black and white, and were in instant agreement that it needed to be in color.) Our evening stroll through Chinatown was a good way to spend the evening, and the part of the street with those red lanterns was an especially nice thing to see.

Dusk, Grant Avenue

We walked through Chinatown one night, just at dusk. Of course, walking is generally acknowledged as the only way to be able to see Chinatown, and going at dusk was a photographic gold mine, with only a few shops open and not many people around to clutter things up.

Wait until you see what I post tomorrow!
