Oh! boy.
Hipster naming of businesses is not necessarily consonant with success. These three are about as dumb as it gets. In Jackson Square, SF.

Taken over a decade ago, I was reminded again how much Adobe has improved the processing controls in Lightroom in versions 4 and 5, especially the Highlights and Shadows sliders, when reprocessing this old image for printing.
Absent the occasional need for, say, the Healing Brush for removal of overhead cables or for selective outlining with the Magic Lasso to confer background blur, both Photoshop tasks, Lightroom really has 95% of what any practical photographer needs, allied with an excellent database cataloging system with easy metadata filtration and sorting.

Boulder Creek, surrounded by redwoods in the Santa Cruz mountains, is best approached either on Highway 9 from Saratoga or on Highway 35 from La Honda to Highway 9, and the trip may be as close to sports car heaven as it’s possible to get. It’s the town that time forgot and let’s hope it stays that way. Do this on a weekday and the ghastly SUVs which block the road on weekends are nowhere to be seen.
Some complain about the premium cost of living in California; to me, it’s the best bargain on earth.

Fat chance.
