deYoung Museum Post Impressionists
I visited the deYoung museum this weekend to see the Post Impressionist exhibit from the Musee d’Orsay and it was very impressive. Seeing Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night up close was worth the price of admission alone. If you’re in San Francisco I highly recommend checking it out. It was very crowded so you should buy tickets before you go. The exhibit runs through January 18th.
Embarcadero Skater
I have some recents scans (I’m trying to shoot less digital these days) for what will probably be an ongoing series of surfers and skaters . This is the first of them. I just got the scans back from Hanson Digital and made a few adjustments to get the image where I liked it. I’m still working on it. I like where it’s at but now I’m trying to decide if I should have a retoucher give a pass at these images.
Pier 24 – San Francisco
Although it’s been here for a while, I only recently heard about Pier 24 in San Francisco. It’s an amazing photography gallery right underneath the Bay Bridge. Currently they have work from Edward Weston, Richard Misrach, Man Ray, William Eggleston and many others. It’s free to get in but you must make an appointment. I highly recommend stopping by if you’re in town.
Raygun Gothic Rocket
I went back out the day before Thanksgiving to take another shot of “the rocket.” It’s basically the same shot just with a “real camera.” I actually liked the look Instagram gave the image so I gave this version a similar treatment. This was shot digitally but I shot some 6×7 film as well but I haven’t had the film developed yet. So in the end I’ll have three different versions of the same shot.
Rocket
At some point this summer I noticed this rocket ship while on a run down the embarcadero in San Francisco. I’ve been running by it all summer and just about every time I’ve passed by it I’ve thought about how I’d like to take a picture of it. Last night on my run I took a quick shot with my iPhone and weather permitting I think I’ll finally head back with a real camera this week.
