Description:  I recently read that the Canon 18.0-200.0 mm lens, when shooting at 200mm, works very well as a macro lens.  So, I put it to the test here.  I found it doesn’t exactly do “macro” exactly, but does allow you to get up close and personal with your subject while providing an awesome depth […]

Description:  I took a stroll with my camera during lunch yesterday, as I try to do as often as possible.  When I came to the Transamerica Pyramid, I stopped and stared for awhile.  It’s amazing how many times you can walk by a building and still be in awe when seeing it. Before capturing the […]

Meet Deon. During the lunch rush hour, as I crossed the street heading back to my office, I ran into Deon.  I told him about my BW$P project and he responded, “What, you want to draw my picture or something?”  I explained I would take a photograph of him and apologized and he agreed.  As […]

Meet Dorothy. As I headed to the bus stop from work today, I bumped into Dorothy on the corner of Pine and Montgomery asking for change.  I approached her and explained my BW$P Project.  She didn’t agree right away, but rather stated, “I’ve been sitting on this corner since 6am this morning and all I’ve […]

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 […]

Meet Nickey. As I was walking back to my office from running a few errands, I met Nickey sitting outside of Walgreens asking for change. As soon as I approached him, even before I said a word, he was saying, “Thank you.” Nickey was extremely enthusiastic and full of spirit as a talked with him. […]

Week: 8/52 Neighborhood: Financial District Image Title: Down the Street Once again, I’m a bit late with this post.  Last week I met up with Julie (also known as tangobaby on Flickr) for a lunch photowalk.  She lead the way through the streets to see the remaining walrus statues and up to the top floor […]

Week: 7/52 Neighborhood: Financial District Image Title: The Lady in Red I’m a bit late with this weeks picture, but better late then never, right? As I wandered down Market street, I made a stop at this escalator that headed down to the Embarcadero BART station.  I spent quite a bit of time sitting there […]

Description: There really isn’t much of a story behind this picture.  I’ve walked around the Embarcadero area in front of the Ferry Building quite a few times now, so I was looking for something new, something different to capture.  As I walked by this sign, I literally walked right by it and then decided to […]

Week: 6/52 Neighborhood: Financial District Image Title: Sign of Our Times Again, I’m struggling to get out and take pictures due to long hours at work.  I’m thinking about changing the project up a bit where I won’t restrict myself to the same neighborhood 4 weeks straight, however, at this point, I’m sticking with the […]

Week: 5/52 Neighborhood: Financial District Image Title: The Twilight Zone I was planning on writing up a seperate post about the photowalk I went on at the beginning of the week, but my extra time these days has been extremely limited.  The photowalk was a great time and I met a few new San Francisco […]
