The faint mountain on the distant left is Mount Tamalpais. http://www.starzhead.com/sm23loop5.html January 24, 2005my little pestbouncer Here she is, obscured by a bit of camoflage...

Actually, these were near Nicasio, but they could have been anywhere... http://www.marinpix.com/nicmorloop5.html January 20, 2005hill and shadow, Salinas Valley 1965 hill and shadow, Salinas Valley 1965. I used a 4X5 Calumet View camera on a tripiod, a 210mm Schneider Symmar lens, and Polaroid Type52 sheet film. I had built a darkroom and was capable of developing and printing 4X5 film, but I found that I could achieve remarkable quality and have much more fun using Polaroid Type52 sheet film. http://www.cure4insomnia.com/ind03.html January 19, 2005nuns on the rocks Over 40 years ago when I was a teenager, I stumbled onto this scene of four nuns on an outing from the nearby Carmelite Monestery, enjoying an afternoon at Point Lobos.

Right now, in Winter, this same stretch of creek is a raging torrent! http://www.photoarrow.com/lc/golden01loop.html January 15, 2005sad ladies of Colma For some obscure reason, San Francisco has always prohibited cemetarys within city limits, so most everybody gets buried in the little city of Colma just to the south. Dead residents substantially outnumber the living. http://www.photoarrow.com/sf/colma01loop.html January 14, 2005freebird freebird My enthusiasm and love of Point Lobos started 40 years ago when I was a teenager, full of the photographic "bug". http://www.photoarrow.com/pl/birds01loop.html January 13, 2005two beefers, one a bit shy Two beefers, one a bit shy... I found these two characters near Valley Ford, which is located on Highway 1 at the top of Marin County. http://www.marinpix.com January 12, 2005last year's poison oak Later in the year we should have a new website up featuring photos taken at a magical little place in Marin County named Roy's Redwoods, but until then, here is a nice photo of "last year's poison oak".

Weston used a large view camera using film measuring 8X10, which he developed and contact printed with great skill in a simple darkroom. Today, the electronic camera and Photoshop have made photography a lot easier, but these are two distinctly different mediums. And yes, film is better, but "digital" is a lot more fun. http://www.photoarrow.com/pl/weston01loop.html January 5, 2005silver ripples in Lagunitas Creek Silver ripples in the Lagunitas Creek Well, the project of photographing the Lagunitas Creek is completed, and the website is up and running now, so check it out. http://www.photoarrow.com/lc/silver01loop.html January 4, 2005the way it's done in Chinatown Chinatown food, at it's finest.
