Hooked on Night Photgraphy
It’s not that I prefer shooting at night. I’m shooting so many long exposures because it’s dark when I get off work these days. That’s not all bad though. These really are fun to shoot digitally – much easier than it would have been back in the days of analog photography.
Kelly works on the 26th floor of the large building in the middle of the shot on the right. Got that?

Beautiful Oakland – My Favorite City
I’ve been working on a photo assignment this weekend – yes, for money! I’m looking for the definitive Oakland shot. I’m not sure I’ve found it yet, but I have gotten a few cool shots in my quest. We had a really beautiful sunset tonight. I shot the image of Sutro Tower with my longest lens from my rooftop. Later I used my widest lens to get the shot of Oakland’s fabulous Paramount Theater.

Oakland Skyline Panorama
I took this panorama last night from the rooftop. While I was setting up to take the shot, three or four motorcycle cops swooped in and closed the freeway! You can see their red and blue strobe lights in the foreground.
Some of my neighbors and I like this image so much that we’re going to print it ten feet wide and hang it in the second floor lobby. :)

I Think That I Shall Never See…
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth’s flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
Poem by Joyce Kilmer; photos by Dave Seitz.

A Couple of Great Shots From Wisconsin
It’s not that I have a soft spot for cute kids in leaf piles. It’s just that this is the sort of picture parents tend to e-mail to their victims friends. In fact, some of these images are pretty good – like this one.
This adorable shot of Leah was taken by her Dad, Jeff Kerkman somewhere in Wisconsin. Awww. The bird shot ain’t bad either. Thanks, Jeff! This reminds me that I have some really nice shots taken by Dave Seitz – also in Wisconsin. I’ll post a couple of may favorites from Dave soon.

Cliff House Sunset
Inspired by our recent trip to Cliff House with my ol’ pal Steve, I decided to take Kelly to the same spot for a bloody mary and a few oysters on the half-shell. It turned out to be one of those rare super-clear days in the bay area. It was easy to see the Farallon Islands, some 27 miles from our table inside the gorgeous Cliff House.
Later, we had a light dinner at an old favorite – PJ’s Oyster Bed – and finished the evening with a night cap at Yancy’s Saloon. What a lovely day. We really should do this more often!

Here’s Linking at You!
How nice to discover that my site is one of the links listed on this site. Also nice to see that some folks are beginning to post large images. I think it’s about time. I mean, we all have broadband now, right?

Steve Wynd 2005
The title of this entry hints at the fact that I see my first friend in California way too little. Steve and I had an awesome time revisiting our old haunts in the foggy Sunset District. We both concluded – again – that there’s no place like San Francisco – the number one tourist destination in my world.
(Google Earth Placemark alert!) I just noticed that the building above is so green that it’s color is visible from space! Other places shown above include the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers and the newly remodelled Cliff House.
