After the gig last night several of us hung out at this establishment to chat and drink beer. It was literally 50 feet from where we played so it couldn’t be more convenient. This shot is the dénouement.

The whole shootin’ match.
First impression
It’s June and it’s still raining in the Bay Area. Not the insubstantial rain we occasionally get during late May/early June some years, but RAIN! The sky did, however, clear this afternoon and the view was spectacular. I took a brief detour up onto the Marin Headlands because I could see while driving across the bridge that it would be lovely–and it was! I took a dozen photos, but this was the first image of the shoot.
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm at 24mm. 1/200 second at f/16, ISO 200.

It’s all subjective
While relaxing on the patio yesterday afternoon, I saw this half spent salsify (has a seed cluster like a giant dandelion) and thought “time to pull out the G11.” I took a least twenty shots of it–everything from fuzzy, hairy, swirly macros to underneath close-ups aiming into the bright sky shots (the G11’s articulating screen rocks for close-ups!). I picked this shot out of the batch. Why? Because for some reason it works for my aesthetic sensibility–aka, it’s all subjective.

Memorial Day expressionism
Smoking charcoal chimney close-up. Seems appropriate for the day.
