Little Friend...
Saw this little guy/gal running around and eating way. I reached into by bag and took out the "critter food" stash. Took out an almond and waved at it to come on over. He / she looked.... scampered over. Took the nut from my hand, sat down next to me and ate away!
I asked him/her to come and sit on top of the stump.... it did.
After about 5 almonds, he/she decided to start to store them way!

Social Media of Wheels...
I've noticed lately a bunch of cars running around San Francisco with Pink Mustaches. Figuring it's San Francisco, I didn't think much about it... probably some sort of trend thing. But the sheer volume of cars got me wondering.
These Pink Mustache cars are part of a social media / ride sharing / pseudo cab thing called Lyft.
What you do is use a phone app. Locate the nearest vehicle and hail the car via phone. The driver comes and pick you up. Upon entering the vehicle, you do a quick hello fist pump (some sort of ritual thing) and off you go. When you arrive at your destination, your phone receives a text message with the recommended donation (set rates are illegal without a taxi medallion ). You pay via your cellphone.
Needless to say, the cabbies are not happy at all. Having to pay thousands of a taxi medallion and following set fare rates. However, there is a loophole on the rules and these Pink Mustache cars aren't going away anytime soon. Cab service in San Francisco is not like New York and there's just not enough cabs to go around.

The Art of Penmanship...
In a world full of computer generated text and fonts…. still nice to see someone being able to write with a bit of flare and style.

Tools...
From a time when cameras were built to last. There is just a lot of satisfaction in being able to create a photograph where it's up to you to put your knowledge to the test. The feel of the controls and the feedback from these machines is pure heaven.

You lookin' at me ?
While scouting around for future photo shoots, I decided to take some pictures of this seagull. After a few shots, this bird decided to look me square into the camera with that "you lookin' at me" stare.
Under Appreciated...
We all have our own opinions of our government agencies. However, the US Coast Guard is one of those agencies that always seem to deliver a level of service to the public that is under appreciated.

Metal Crossing...
Considering all the security that is in place today. Parts of the bridge is off limits. I was surprised how there is a public trail underneath the Golden Gate Bridge with access to all the support structures.

Mini Bridge...
It must just something wired into a guy's DNA. Looking at models (including the human variety) is always a thrill.

If these seats can talk...
Imagine all the conversations that once occurred onboard this old ferry boat. I expected to see a ghost wandering the deck.

Going Old School...
Ready to set sail once again. I've been fortunate to have been able to try, play and even own and sold some really outstanding photographic equipment since this adventure that started again 3 years ago.
I've met a whole community of people who share the same love of photography from the Professionals to the Hobbyist. My learning and growing curve wouldn't have been possible without all of you.
The advancements in photographic equipment technology is just amazing. It's opened the door to the masses to be able to capture images. However, all this technology and ability has also resulted in the erosion in the skill and art of making a photograph.
Having to not only create but to also put your mind to the test in order to make a photograph is what motivates and brings satsifaction to this author. Don't get me wrong, I will always use the right tool for the right job and will never snub or dismiss technology to get the job done.
You've begun to see some work that comes from the old school - instant film. You will soon see newer work coming from equipment that is even more old school. It will be a test and adventure and hope you will enjoy the results.
