On my way back from a photo shoot I took a short detour to Twin Peaks to see how bad visibility is when the weather reports state the air is “Very Unhealthy”. The view had its usual groups of people doing selfies with the San Francisco in the background…. but there was one problem. You […]
This is just some random photo that was on my desktop. It is really late, I have been taking photos since 9 a.m. and I am getting rather slap happy. Probably best to stop typing.
Good think I really do not have a strong sense of smell because the other day I went to the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers to see what is often nicknamed the “Corpse Flower.” It is actually Amorphophallus titanum, also known as the titan arum , many people say the flower stinks of rotting fish when it […]
In the middle of Segovia, Spain is this aqueduct. It is seven stories tall, was made in the 1st Century of the Common Era, and somehow has survived remarkably intact. I am still in awe of the city of Segovia just looking at the photos. This set does not even include the castle (which was […]
I picked up one of the random books I have around the apartment, opened it to a random page and found a listing of oddly specific job titles in foreign languages. The book “The Meaning of Tango, and Other Extraordinary Words from Around the World” by Adam Jacot de Boinod, is a listing of various […]
Here are some photos of things that I found interesting while in Spain. I wish the shop with the woman holding the spatula was open, I want to by a tortilla from her. Then I want to put all of my mail into a lion’s mouth. For skylights I am hoping to have these star […]
Every now and then I see someone doing something really stupid or dangerous. This guy was sliding down a rather steep cliff that led to a rocky bottom. They are headed towards this gorgeous beach in California’s Big Sur at Julia Pfeiffer State Park. I get the idea that they wanted to run around on […]
These photos are from a current project I am working on. This part of the project involves a herd of goats that are taken to various places around San Francisco (in this case the Presidio) to clear the undergrowth. They are eat quickly and are very environmentally friendly. If you want to know more about […]
For some reason I find it interesting when people take photographs or make videos of their travels rather than experience then, but that is kind of hypocritical. That is exactly what I am doing. Of course, I am lucky enough to get paid to do it. But, why do people find the photos they take […]
Someone asked me the other day how to become a professional photographer. After wanting to give my smart-ass answer of “take a series or photographs and get someone to pay you for them, viola, you are a professional.” I thought better of giving that answer and came up with the real answer, practice. My first […]
