Goodbye 2006
Wishing everyone all the best for 2007.
Rocky Balboa, San Francisco, December 24, 2006
2006 was a banner year for this photographer, seeing the abandonment of film, the disposal of a ridiculous accumulation of gear, and its replacement with a couple of digital cameras and lenses and one piece of insanely great software. As a result, productivity soared and the sheer joy of taking pictures returned. It’s like being a kid again.
I wish you all the same for 2007.
Shadows
A little slice of life
For those of you into that most civilized of games, cricket, the boy on the wall appears to be bowling a particularly mean googly.
Spotted in San Mateo, CA on Christmas Eve.

On the BART
The Bay Area Rapid Transit subway in San Francisco is fast, not too costly and sometimes clean. It’s a great way to get around in a congested city and offers lots of picture opportunities, assuming some bureaucrat doesn’t apprehend you and try to confiscate your camera.
On the BART, December 23, 2006. A throwback to Leica days of yore.

Once in the city center, the magnificent hanging light display in the Hyatt Hotel is something to behold:
