June Highlights: Nightclub
I have just one friend who enjoys dancing, and I don't know how this is possible, but she joined me, and we had a great time!
June Highlights: Near Pier 70 (20 June 2025)
I have a rust fetish that exceeds normal ranges, and had a great time with wonderful light at and around Pier 70.
June Highlights: Sunset (18 June 2025)
I rushed across town after work in hopes of seeing the cliffs lit by the setting sun, and made it just in time.
June Highlights: Mission Festivals
Carnaval returned during a local street festival, when the dancers who had worked so hard for the parade were able to share the spirit with locals by dancing again and posing for photos.
June Highlights: Presidio Flora
I went for a walk on an overcast day with friends in the Presidio: the lighting was just fine for flower portraits.
May Highlights: Expired Polaroid Originals SX-70 Photos (31 May 2025)
As part of my 'refrigerator project,' I am consuming all of the expired film I've been hoarding in my refrigerator. This Polaroid Originals film was manufactured and expired in the same year, just over 7 years ago. While shooting it, it remained completely blank... So I fired off wildly, figuring that nothing would come out, only adjusting the exposure toward the very end. I put the photos in a bag, and later that day realized that some of them actually developed out fully! Faintly, but fully.
So: use your film while it's fresh, people.
May Highlights: Carnaval (25 May 2025)
Carnaval is one of our best local festivals, and I took SO MANY PHOTOS this year... I have two galleries up on my photography website.
2025 Carnaval SF - People and 2025 Carnaval SF - Cars. These are favorites among many favorite scenes...
May Highlights: Classic (18 May 2025)
It's July, and I still haven't posted photos from the second half of May... If I were keeping up, I would post a large collection, but since I'm playing catch-up, I'll only post a few of the hits.
