After a gig in San Francisco back in July, I took some night shots of the street scene. A streetlight lit PG&E manhole cover on the street just outside the venue entrance caught my eye. I framed the shot tightly because the pavement around the cover’s edges was very grungy. The image looks kind of Mayan Modern.
Lens: Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM. 1/6 second at f/2.8, ISO 1600.

Pulled from the archives, this shot was taken back in early July out in Monte Rio, CA. The bridge crosses the Russian River, but in this image it’s just an abstraction on a road to nowhere.
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm.

The accordion festival has a tent with a huge dance floor separate from the main stages. In the afternoons a traditional Polka band plays. It’s VERY popular with dancers–not all of whom are in the senior set. But, the older crew did seem to covet the seats when not dancing. Here’s a scene I captured while the band was taking a break.
Lens: Canon 15-85mm at 85mm. 1/50 second at f/5.6, ISO 200.

Here’s another image from last weekend’s accordion festival. This guy is old school, but his look is très cool. No need for color–his vibe is all about black and white. I grabbed the shot while standing just outside a small booth where accordions were being sold.
Lens: Canon 15-85mm at 50mm. 1/200 second at f/5.6, ISO 200.

Here’s a shot taken at our booth at the Cotati Accordion Festival this past weekend–Renée and Sean doing business, each in their own way. I REALLY like the “overexposed” look of this shot! I can see more of this style coming.
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm at 15mm. 1/30 second at 5.6, ISO 200.
