Besides being a photographer, I'm also the guitarist with the rowdy folk fusion group, The Mad Maggies. I was programmer/web developer for Communication Arts magazine for 15 years before going rogue. I moved from the San Francisco Bay Area to Montréal, Québec in 2013. In 2023, I relocated to Penticton, BC -- better weather.

All summer long there was nothing but fog in San Francisco (except for the odd day or two when the fog mercifully retreated out a short distance off shore). Fall arrives and the Bay Area is HOT! Beautifully warm in the city–blazing hot away from the water. This is what it looked like by the Golden Gate Bridge at about 3:30 this afternoon (nice day for sailing!):

BTW, these are straight out the camera with only the slightest bit of cropping and sharpening. The G11 loves light.
