Photofriday: Darkness
Morro Bay, taken at night just as a storm was clearing. I was totally blown away by the colors that came out when this was developed, and the sense of motion captures the feel of the atmosphere.

Photofriday: Massive
I posted a similar photo recently, but this one really highlights the scale of the bridge with the sailboat on the left.
So it's a good excuse to post them both. :)
Another flower to follow. I don't know what this one is called, but they pop up around Berkeley all at once in late summer.

Done with San Francisco for now, here's a fantastic set of Amaryllis.

Alcatraz - or "The Rock" if you prefer.

In this picture from a different ferry ride, you can see several of San Francisco's most famous landmarks. The Bay Bridge is just visible on the lefthand corner with the the clock tower of the historic Ferry Building in front of it. The long red and white building is one of many piers, the round building on top of the hill in the center of the picture is Coit Tower, and the pyramid is the Transamerica Building. Straight ahead is Fisherman's Wharf (not that it's recognizable), and to the right you can see both of the North Beach Cathedrals: "St. Francis of Assisi Shrine" and "Saints Peter and Paul Church" respectively.

Someone asked if I had any pictures of San Francisco (having no idea what he was getting into) so here's one taken from the Oakland Ferry as it cut under the Bay Bridge.

Falling Water / Fallen Leaf
Looks too good to be true.

Paper snowflakes at sunset.

These two I'll post together, since they were taken at the same time in the light of a Christmas tree. Notice the similarity between the birds here and in the previous post.

I went home to Rolla this past week for almost 6 whole days....! It was actually quite enjoyable, though I didn't take any pictures. Instead I'll commemorate this occasion with pictures of Rolla taken at various other times, starting with this one in our kitchen window.

Yosemite, near Bridalveil falls. I think I succeeded with a bit of a postcard look here, although the contrast is a little high.

Yes, I think that this cow, smarter than most, was attracted to this restaurant for a reason.

Spring break was a while ago, but I scanned some of the best photos only recently. Here's a shot of late afternoon on the beach.

Another Rolla Fence
Oh how we love our fences in the Midwest...

My roommate... I love the light in this one!

Photofriday: Silky


Is this picture cliche? I don't really care. I was there. And it's always amazing what happens when water mixes with sand.

I took this photograph about a month ago, just days before leaving Stanford. The campus is extremely beautiful... so much so that it's been photographed from every angle, and most of the pictures I took over my four years there ended up feeling recycled.

But I'm pleased that in my last few days I was able to get in at least one image that feels moderately unique. It's a familiar scene, but perhaps it's the colors or the vantage point that make it somehow more dynamic than the standard "view of the quad" shot.

View of Puerto Vallarta



It took some maneuvering to line up the foreground plant with the background, and then when I got it developed I found that the last two exposures on the roll were 1/2 double exposed... so hence the square image. At least it wasn't a total loss!

Hello is offline for me again... I think there's a moral here that I really need to design and host my own site rather than rely on everyone else's technology to run things for me.

Graduation
Taken during wacky walk, at graduation, Stanford University, June 12, 2005.
After The Man confiscated the materials for their tower, they were understandably shocked that The Man almost stole our umbrellas as well.


Incidentally... we did make it into the Stanford Report Article. "Also seen were a procession of walking iPods, several balloon floats, spray-painted umbrellas... "
