I decided to start taking tutoring sessions for photography. As a self-taught photographer, the learning process can be slow at times.  I've got some technical issues I need to address, and have been feeling a  bit stagnant due to these limitations. So, a friend hooked me up with J. Jones.  We had our first session today and it was quite enlightening.  Here are some pictures of him I took while we were exploring some different focusing options.  I've included the information about exposure, etc. on the photo.  The shots were taken indoors in fairly low light.

The San Francisco Organizing Project met on November 8th at the Jones Memorial Church  to discuss healthcare, immigration, and education.  Many city supervisor were present, as well as school groups, churches, and community leaders.

the golden hour

I was helping my son with a photo project and we were scrambling to get his shots before sunset.  He was doing most of the photography, but I guess I took this one of him to check test the camera settings for him.  Anyway, I stumbled across the shot today while working on something else and was kind of startled at how lovely the light is at sunset.  I mean, everyone knows it's a great time to shoot but the focus of our shoot was on landscape/nature, so I'd overlooked this image previously.

where's the cat?

Snapped this on a quiet residential street.  You have to wonder what the story is there.

halloween masterpiece

By far the best Halloween decoration I saw last night.  This reworking of the Mona Lisa was displayed on the outside of a house very near Cortland in Bernal Heights, San Francisco.
