Description:   I actually pulled this one up through a random page in my Flickr stream and was surprised to see I had not posted it on this blog yet.  A year after I’ve taken this shot and I think it is one of my favorites.  Funny enough, it apparently did not make my Top 10 […]

Description:  Taken looking straight up at the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel during my latest travels to Italy, I decided to process this photo in black and white to accent the contrast presented in the painting.  This crop and final photo really presents a different feel and emotion than the one I processed in color […]

Description:  I have made settle attempts to photograph fireworks in the past.  However, this year, over 4th of July weekend, I decided it was time to give it a real go to see what I could accomplish.  I headed up to the North shore of Lake Tahoe for the weekend and planned to catch the […]

Description: Another photograph from a random page in my Flickr photostream.  This one was taken while exploring the Castro neighborhood almost a year ago.  The two yellow Muni cable cars lined up perfectly for me as I was capturing other photographs from the Muni platform. Location: Castro, San Francisco Date Taken: July 21, 2008 Camera: […]

Description: Another photograph from a random page in my Flickr photostream.  I don’t really have much to say about this particular image, so I’ll leave it to the viewers to come up with their own filler. Location: French Quarter/Financial District, San Francisco Date Taken: January 13, 2009 Camera: Canon 20D Exposure: 1/6 second Aperture: f/2.8 […]

Description: For today’s picture share, I decided to choose a random page from my Flickr photostream and post one of the pictures from that page.  I’ll probably do this again from time to time.  It really helped me find a deserving photograph that I had missed previously. This particular photograph was taken while waiting for […]

Description: Okay, I’ll admit it, I love black and white photography.  For every photograph I process in color, I almost always check to see what it would look like processed as black and white.  In a previous post, I argued that the true beauty of the subject does not come out in a color photograph, […]

Description: How many different ways can the Golden Gate Bridge, one of, if not the most photographed structures in the world, be captured?  I don’t think that number can be determined.  I’ve tried my share and I doubt I am even close to done. Friends of mine are not big fans of my converting my […]

Description: This photograph is actually hanging on one of my walls in my apartment.  I made this image a few years ago while walking around Chinatown.  I remember thinking to myself when I saw this person standing over this poster that the poster must have some meaning behind it (though I didn’t know much about […]

Description: I’ve had some time recently to go through some older pictures that were processed pre-LightRoom.  This particular image was taken in Hawaii (where else).  I was on a mission to capture the typical Hawaiian sunset and felt this one came pretty close.  This photograph is one of a few taken during this trip, including […]

Description:  During my last processing session, I revisited my walk over the Brooklyn Bridge from my recent trip to New York.  This one is one of my favorites of the bunch.  When I saw this image screaming at me, I could not believe I had never seen a photograph of it before.  I’m not sure […]

Description:  Last weekend I had the opportunity to make a visit to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.  I’ve been to the aquarium a few times in my past and my favorite exhibit has always been the Jellyfish.  Between the mystical and interesting form of these creates and the the colors and contrast presented by the jellyfish […]
