Proof By Repitition

Dug this out of the holding tank and cropped it (I'd been drinking and the photo wasn't quite straight). But kept the lighting, which I think adds a nice atmosphere. I like the way your eye is drawn inexorably to the center.

One from the Vault

This is from a walk I took a while back through the AIDS Memorial Grove in Golden Gate Park.

And that saying, it is carved in stone.

Made it home in time to catch the end of San Francisco's fireworks display from the roof of the apartment complex. This image is actually a composite of two photos.

The Sky Was Red with Gunpowder

This one (like most of the ones I took) was blurry - from the wind, us bouncing around to stay warm, and my difficulty focusing. Still, it did capture the bright red glow.

These four photos came from an outdoor concert (The Diamonds - a 50s nostalgia act that puts on a pretty good show) in Rancho Murieta over the weekend. The dry beginning of summer evening provided some good light.

The geese were out in force on the lake before the concert.

This is one reason I like the 18-55 lens. The wide end of that range gives these great sweeping views.

Long exposure with tripod of the concert just after dusk. I'd hoped the stars would be more prominent to contrast with the overexposed stage.
