Here is another shot from my series of photos taken with the camera on my phone. This is a perfect example of why having some kind of camera with you at all times can lead to some wonderful shots.

Last week I went down to Big Sur, CA to celebrate my friend Kavi’s 18th birthday. We went camping at San Dollar Beach.

Lots of great photos from the trip. I’ll start with these.

It turns out Kavi is into breathing fire. Nothing like some good fire breathing for a good photo.

Girl Running Up Hill, Clouds and Tall Oak

Every year I go with my daughter and some friends on a camping trip. We go to a wild campground in the Los Padres National Forest.

It is a great way to mark the arrival of spring, and for the kids there is an Easter Egg hunt!

Steampunk Party, the Neverwas Haul Mixer Berkeley, CA

art, Event Photography, Photos, Steampunk 1 Response »

I’ll start by defining my terms here.

Steampunk is An imaginary Victorian age, that features brass and copper clockwork and steampowered inventions that go far beyond 1800’s technology. Steam powered mechanical wonders, optimistic gear driven computers, dirigibles, clockwork firsts, and stuff like that. (But don’t forget the goggles.)

The above definition taken from here. I went first to Wikipedia, but I thought their summary was not nearly as clear.

I got this invitation for a Steampunk party the other day:

* The Traveling Academy of Unnatural Sciences invites all fellow intrepid explorers and adventurers to a get together on the Neverwas Haul at its winter dock – 1010 Murray Street, Berkeley, CA on Saturday night from 6pm to 9pm to hobnob and converse with fellow enthusiasts. There will be demonstrations of things too dangerous for the hotel lobby, an opportunity to dress in costume and enjoy the ambiance of the Haul, and partake of libations and h’ors doevres. For more information, check out our link at www.neverwashaul.com

So, of course I went, camera in hand.

I’ll let the photos speak for themselves.

UPDATE:

I just got this email from one of the people in these photos:

Dear Alex,

I just have to tell you how beautiful your work is. The shots of
Neverwas are incredible, and in all your work, the people look so
radiant. Your eye for light and shape is such a pleasure.

Thank you for capturing the weekend.

All the best, all the time,

Lorna

Art Photography: Oakland’s Chapel of the Chimes.

art, black and white, Photos No Responses »

Mar 142010

Today, I was on a photo safari, and went to Oakland’s Chapel of the Chimes.

I’ve been in the doorway before, but this is the first time I explored the place as a photographer. I could have spent all month there. All in ages shot in RAW. Adjustments were made in contrast, color, saturation. These photos are meant to represent how I saw and experienced the chapel more than how you would see it if you went yourself.
