Sunday evening post. I’m not sure why I like this grainy, slightly soft shot of uilleann piper Cillian Vallely. But I do like it. Sometimes a photograph is simply about having captured the mood of the moment.

The weekend and holiday shots.
Saturday abstraction
A few weeks ago I read in Ed Verosky’s email newsletter a commentary about 365 day photo projects. In it he said, “I’m here to tell you that you can let these things go. Simply express what you feel and shoot what you like, whenever the mood strikes.” OK.

Old drawbridge
Back in July I took some photos of the waterfront area in Petaluma. This is a late afternoon shot of the west side span of the historic “D” Street drawbridge (the bridge was completed in 1883):

Two not in a series
Since it’s the weekend, here’s a couple more shots from yesterday’s pre-gig camera time in the city… Where we played was catty-cornered to this great art deco building (located at Leavenworth and McAllister):
And the only place to get a shot of this city garden with the view of City Hall (other than being in the garden) is through the window of the Soluna Cafe & Lounge at Larkin and McAllister:

The Buddha at City Hall
We had a gig in the city yesterday evening so I had a little time to roam around and grab some shots. Because we were playing close to City Hall I figured it was as good as any spot to park the car and look for something to shoot. The HUGE statue of Buddha was a total surprise! (Oh, and backlighting the scene was a thin veil of fog “filtering” the super bright late afternoon sunlight. Letting the sky completely wash out was not optional.)
This is the perspective shot:
And the following two are to show the difference in the face’s “mood” depending on the angle:
