San Francisco - Part 2 (Alamo Square)

These images were taken by Alamo Square this past Saturday while hanging out with fellow photogs, Mike Duarte, Edward Chuck, and Kevin Ash. Our initial plan was to shoot the "Painted Ladies". As soon as we parked, a cool guy named Peter started talking shop and asking about Mike's Nikon D90. After speaking for a little while, he asked us if we wanted to shoot from his roof. Of course, we jumped at the chance. Its not every day that you get an opportunity to shoot from someone's roof. We all got a few very interesting shots. Although, I think Ed might not have gotten all the shots he wanted since he got yelled at by some lady in a neighboring building. Lol. Apparently, she thought he was taking images of her apartment. Never mind the fact that he was not shooting anywhere near her direction. Its always the people that no one is paying attention to that seem to have a problem in situations like these. After we finished shooting, we thanked Peter, and made our way over to the "Painted Ladies"!

San Francisco Pt. 1

Throughout the course of three days, I've found myself moving around all over the place. I got a chance to see Iron Man 2, which was quite entertaining (Yes, I'm a bit of a comic lover). I also went to a wide variety of locations across San Francisco and shot with many different photographers. Its always a pleasure to venture out with folks that are motivated by the same passions. People that you can learn from and share technique with. Photographers will not only tolerate, but spend endless periods of time waiting for the right light in a certain location (and actually enjoy it), and will do their absolute best to create their own luck with the same determination as you. I had a great time shooting with photographers, John Maruoka, Kristin Munday, Andrew Munday, Mike Duarte, Edward Chuck, Thomas Barclay, and Kevin Ash. I met some really warm and genuine people, saw someone get arrested, and spotted a police officer texting while driving! Overall, a very busy, yet extremely fun week. Here are a few recent images. More to follow!
