Taken at home at 9:30pm. Was taking photos with friend Sherman for the Strobist's boot camp. Jen was volunteered as model. Here's the b/w, high-contrast version of my submission for the headshot assignment.

Jen in Brown
Taken at the little Diner next to the Cliffhouse at 8pm. Went for a drive with Jen and we ended up at this Diner at the Cliffhouse for dinner. I noticed how everything was brown, from Jen's cloths, to the diet coke to the diner decoration. After a little convincing Jen agreed to pose for this photo.

Taken in the Stockton Tunnel at 6pm. Was on the way to Union Square to shoot some photos and these boots and jacket were walking in front of me. Union Square didn't quite turn out due to clouds and I decided to head home instead.

Sun and Fog
Taken at 7pm high up on Market Street. I had to kill some time and the fog was rolling in. It was so thick I actually had to wait a while until the sun was at least a little bit visible. I also caught up on some of my photos from the weekend: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, and #8. *Phew*, that was quite a bit.

Taken at 3:30pm from a Vontu office window. I was trying to go for the look of William Fullers architectural photos in a fairly recent issue of Lenswork. Didn't quite turn out so I went my own way in color.

Taken from Golden Gate vista point at 5:30am. Another early morning with another friend. This time we went to the Golden Gate bridge. Except for this one, shot with a borrowed wide angle lens, I have not yet processed any other photos. I also spent the evening on Treasure Island, so there'll be lots more to come soon. Check back tomorrow or day after for the rest.

Taken at 5:40am from the Embarcadero. I got up really early with a friend of mine to shoot photos of the bay before sunrise. We really lucked out, it was an amazing sunrise. I am still processing the photos, but the first few are already for show: #1, #2, and #3.

North Beach Church
Taken at 5pm from the Vontu office. This church is a landmark in San Francisco's North Beach district and our office has a great view on it. Today I finally remembered to bring in my telezoom lens. Unfortunatelly the light wasn't quite ideal - I had hoped for more sunshine. But I'll bring the lens in during the next few days again, maybe I can get some more good shots from up here.

Taken at 7pm into the sunset. I took a walk with Jen to the Ferry Building. The sky behind the Ferry Building was so bright from the setting sun, it turned the image into almost pure black and white. Another photo from a little later shows some more color. Other photos from today: #1, #2, #3, and #4.

Taken at 6am from Treasure Island. Got up early today to get some long exposure photos of San Francisco. I like how the long exposure makes the bay look like it is frozen over. More photos from this photo shoot: #1, #2 and #3.

Taken at 8pm at the Orchad Valley Cafe in Campbell, CA. This is singer/song-writer Isul Kim at todays coffee house show. I had a very hard time deciding between the photos from the day. I ended up picking this one, but close second is a concrete honeycomb shot (can you guess where this is?) and a cigarette break street photo.

Taken on Sansome at 6pm. I decided to play around with massive grain by shooting at virtual iso 12800 (shoot at iso1600, under-expose by 3 stops). I got the grain alright, but I am not too happy with the way the photos turned out. I have to see if I want to continue in this direction. Here's another grainy photo from today.

Call Me
Taken on 2nd and Market at 6:30pm. I saw this guy making a call and liked the background of the columns of the store. Somehow this photo just wasn't any good in b/w. The high contrast between the blue shade and the almost orange skin worked much better. There is also another photo from today in the usual b/w.

Taken at 1pm on Sansome Street. Was walking back from lunch and saw this woman taking a cigarette break while sitting on this wonderfully textured stone. Another photo from today shows this bizarre blob inside a building on second street. A photo I have been meaning to take for a long time.

ME
Taken on Sansome at 6pm. I like this one for two reason: the cool cut-out looking shape in the woman - it is actually a coincident to get this, as the round shape consists of a low hanging back, a flying jacket and her legs in the right shape. The other reason is the loud "me" of the Sansome street sign. Other photos from today: #1, #2 and #3.
