There’s always time for self portraits, albeit in the oddest places. This was taken on top of the Japanese barrel bridge at the Japanese tea garden in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. It looks like I photoshopped the hell out of it, but it is really only color-corrected.
This Sunday the weather here was terrible, but here’s a great shot of the Bay Bridge out of the window of the trolley we were riding. Pseudo-HDR, B&W with Silver Efex Pro.
First I don’t get to writing in weeks, and then I’m on a roll. But there’s a good excuse. A dear friend (thanks, Rodney!) sent me a pinhole attachment for my Canon today, and I couldn’t help but try it out at once. First experiments are below. I have to admit, they do look a little like “kitsch”, but I was indeed going for the antique postcard look. Obviously, a little post processing in Photoshop etc. did the rest.
Only around here would you encounter such a thing. I’m probably giving this dude WAY too much attention, but I found this SO amusing, I just HAD to write about it. I got a phone call from the one coffee shop in town today where right now three of my photos hang.
They are #1, #7 and #8 of the “Zoe Comes Home” series.
The only problem the model had with them was that I named them the way I did. The problem the dude apparently had, was that I’m supposedly promoting some hidden communist agenda. If you can find it, let me know… 
He was reportedly told they would stay on the wall. (Good for you, guys!)
My personal theory is that whoever it was got “socialize” on the t-shirt confused with “socialist”. Waaahaaaahaaaa……………. Not sure whether the company whose trade show token these were in 2008 knows they are promoting something questionable.
