When I’m at home taking photos, I try to find revealing elements in things I see every day. This close-up of our iron fire pit is a perfect example. The thing is obviously not being used, yet it has a prominent spot on our patio. The particulars of the shot are revealing something to me about my space. The composition is for everyone else.

Friday. Long week. And now I’m dealing with summer traffic on “get away” Fridays–morons! I arrive home and immediately look for a cool one in the fridge… This was the view.

I know, it’s just a crane, but “big yellow” has been dangling its ball and hook on the west side of the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge for months. It’s fixture at this point, and it’s massive. Crossing the bridge heading north, I usually see it hanging its head facing the bridge. Here’s a shot from underneath of it turned away.

I’m feeling a bit sleep deprived today. Up at 3:30 AM, on the road at 4:00… home at around 4:00 PM. It’s a grind. Add 135 miles of driving through a major metropolitan area to the mix, multiply by 12 years… Anyway, here’s a recent shot I took of the Bay Bridge. The silver connector between San Francisco and the east Bay may not be as iconic as the Golden Gate, but it holds its own.
