Racing the Fog

{50mm; 1/4000s; f/5.0; ISO100; 08/05/09: This was taken during my commute.}

Rainforest Dome

{11mm; 1/80s; f/4.5; ISO100; 09/27/09: Taken at the Academy of Sciences. This is a 4-story dome with humidity and temperature control to keep it hot and humid. There's all sorts of life in there with a huge pool at the bottom that has big river fish in it. This is a 16:9 crop factor.}

Liz and the Golden Gate at Fort Mason

{13mm; 1/60s; f/9.0; ISO100; 09/26/09: Title really says it all. I just got a polarizer at the best photography store I've ever seen, and I think the lighting was just great on Liz.}

Mayan Headress

{12mm; 1/200s; f/4.0; ISO100; 08/10/09: This is another mural from Lilac St. in the Mission.}

Cigarettes, Calling Cards, and a Bottle of Beer

{11mm; 1/80s; f/4.0; ISO400; 08/13/09: This is the man who runs my local corner store. We go there for any random thing that we may have forgotten. This guy is really nice, but has been shafted by his university because he can't get the classes he needs to graduate. Our whole higher ed system needs an overhaul.}

Reflections on Speed

{16mm; 1/60s; f/4.5; ISO200; 09/21/09: This was taken during my bike commute on the BART earlier this week. The main reason I picked out this picture is because you can see the girl behind me smiling while chatting on her phone while holding her bike.}
