It has been a while since I posted some street work. This has been sitting in my library for over a year. I crossed the street to get a shot closer to the couple, and meant to get even closer but traffic interfered. Tweet

Tag Archives: E-PL1 A subway train yard in Ridgewood Queens, taken from an M Train last November. If you can’t get pasta fence, or make it disappear through technique, turn it in to a texture. Tweet  This is the Colgate clock in Jersey City, which lights up quite nicely from the front as can be seen from downtown New York. Tweet  I’m not inclined to use textures very much, and when I do use them it appears, from my own perspective, to happen almost randomly. Obviously I chose to add one here but I could not explain why I did so, or why the thought even occurred to me. Tweet  As we grow older The world becomes stranger, the pattern more complicated Of dead and living. Not the intense moment Isolated, with no before and after, But a lifetime burning in every moment And not the lifetime of one man only But of old stones that cannot be deciphered. There is a time for the...  I love how they painted the wooden planks for the scaffolding to match the signature color of the Golden Gate Bridge. Tweet  The support posts on the Golden Gate Bridge have all the numbers,* but I shot this one because it seemed to represent the city, but then I also remembered that it matched my upcoming birthday, which is today. *Well, not to infinity, but you know what I mean. Tweet  I’m no engineer, but as I understand suspension bridges, this one cable and its partner on the other side basically hold the entire bridge roadway up. Tweet  This is the Mission San rafael, the same as in this shot. The first was processed entirely on my iPad, and this one using my full complement of software tools on a state of the art Mac, yet I think the first one came out better. Tweet  As best as I can tell, this is a Lids sports cap store that retained the legacy signage from the old cigar store that it displaced. This is a simple black and white treatment via Silver Efex Pro. Now for two bits of site business. First, I feel like I’ve been semi-absent both from here...  The very first post on this blog features a shot of these same buildings on Mason Street in San Francisco. When I had a chance to spend part of a morning in that city last week, I wanted to revisit the location and try again. That’s not because I am disappointed in that old photo....  Can you smell the zeppole, fried Oreos, and sausage and pepper heros? Because I was standing right next to the booths that sold them. Our parish bazaar was this weekend. We did the rides first, then went inside for various games involving bean bags and hitting targets. When we went back outside on our way...  For the second time in a month, I flew across country for a court appearance that the court postponed at 2pm the day before. So I had some time Friday morning to walk around San Francisco before flying home. While flying home and exploring instagram using in-flight internet, I discovered that Justin Balog of Light...  I took this photo because of the older building in the foreground, which is Bush Tower. But now the most interesting element to me is the building reflected in the glass building in the back. Busy day today, so I’m setting this post up the night before and have little time to research and figure out what it is....  Just something light and a bit silly today from Times Square. This is the statue of George M. Cohan that sits not far from the TKTS booth for discount theater tickets. I waited a few moments hoping for an interesting juxtaposition between his profile and the animated billboard behind it, and it was not long...  Every time I publish am image with train tracks in it I think of Johnny Cash, but when I review my song library, which has quite a lot of the Man in Black in it, I rarely find something with a title or lyric that ends up feeling appropriate for the image. In fact, this...  If you search for “house under golden gate bridge” on Google, you will find a few other images of this house, even on the main search page, and all of the pages refer to it as a customs house, but none of them have any history or information. So if you then search for “customs house...  I’m not sure what drew me in more: the Marin County Line sign, the rickety “elevator,” or the shadowy tarp. Put all three together and I had no hesitation before capturing this image. I decided to process and post this image today after the brief discussion in the comments of yesterday’s post about whether you...  Have you ever wondered if there is a way to enter the towers of the Golden Gate Bridge? I did, and here is the answer. Now I have no idea if you can climb up once inside, or whether this is the door to little more than a glorified closet. I processed this using methods...  |
