Altered photo from Larkspur Ferry - here's Coit Tower

TransAmerica Bldg.

No, not smog - just a little bit of tinting.

(to be fair, my brother took this)

My new current obsession is this guy, Ed Martin. He was a cinematographer and after he retired, he created and trademarked a cool way of taking pictures. Basically, he takes a tray where he puts images for a still life and exposes that directly onto the negative. The result is a surprising array of colors and textures that would not be available through a lens. I forced my parents to buy this "photograph" - really, I guilt tripped them - and now they are glad they did. The color in this is SO vibrant, and you can see the air bubbles in the oil, as well as a light halo that the oil gives off around the flowers. Google him!!!

Chinatown goodies

Oh yes, this WILL be my wedding cake. I hear dragons are YUM.

The bridge is still standing, thank goodness...

Le Green Door - we were too scared to go behind it

The Tunnel Top!

I heart SF

Pretty lanterns at Ginger Trois

Bad Gidget

More cool textures

I love this picture of the bench with the grass growing through it

I can't decide which I like better - this one or the previous one! I'm framing one of them for sure - maybe both - ha!

Josephine is very picky about her salad bar, but she found some yummy grass

Houses again

Cool texture - big tree trunk

Oh the cherry blossoms - these pics are really lovely large

More blossoms, branches and sky

I love that I was able to cut out all cars - it's hard to tell where/when this pic might have been taken

A lovely view from Lafayette Park in SF

The cherry blossoms were so pretty!
