Light Shadow Lines and Blue 1

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.

Elizabeth at Lake Tahoe 2

These photos are from 1998. I was a counselor at a camp for the Art of Living Foundation up in Lake Tahoe.

These photos were taken on film. The negatives were scanned in. Also, I was new too Photoshop then. I did things then I would not do now…

“The Best Camera is the One You Have With You”

Who said that? If you know the origin of that quote, please let me know. A few minutes of internet searching could not answer that question. It is a very popular quote. Placed in quotes for an exact search, there are over 55,000 results in a google search.

But I digress. When I was a travel photographer, I had pro gear with me all the time. Now that I’m more domesticated, the one camera I am sure to have at all times is the one on my phone.

The thing is, I get some good photos with it! This one from last week for example.

So, I will periodically use this blog to show some of these photos, in no particular order.

The Photo above was spontaneous. We did not plan on referencing the Christ The Redeemer statue in Brazil.

All three of these photos were taken on Christmas Day, 2009 at Pfeiffer Beach Big Sur California.

Aztec Dancer 3

Aztec Dancers in San Francisco’s Mission District

This past Saturday, I shot the opening celebrations for the Mission Economic Development Agency’s new offices.

Most of the shots were politicians, community activists and bankers giving speeches. But, then after all of the blah blah blah was over, the Aztec Dancers came on!
