The North Tower of the Golden Gate bridge has become one my favorite photographic subjects. This shot is from Battery Spencer.
Transamerica Pyramid through Golden Gate Bridge
Classic shot of Transamerica Pyramid framed by the Golden Gate Bridge
I recently listened to a great episode of 99% Invisible about the opposition to Transamerica Pyramid when it was proposed.
M is for…… Motel
The top of the Capri Motel’s sign. The Capri is located in Santa Clara, right on El Camino.
This was my first outing with my new D800E. The resolution is stunning and the camera is joy to use. But when it comes to size and weight, it’s a beast of a camera. I’ll still be using my D7000 when I need to keep gear weight and bulk down.
Lunch Time Excursion
Just a short walk from my office, the Redwood Shores library has a little café. I tried it for the first time today.
Cocktails at Paul and Harvey
I love neon signs so this Paul and Harvey sign always catches my eye when go to downtown Sunnyvale. I’ve never actually been inside. Perhaps I ought to try it out as the Yelp reviews are pretty good.
Twilight at Four Mile Beach
Four Mile Beach is just a few miles out of Santa Cruz on Highway 1 North. Not much color in sky on this evening in April.
Hills Brothers Coffee Building
Another shot from my super moon outing. I have to be partial to the Hills Brother’s Coffee building since its now the home of Wharton San Francisco. In my time at Wharton, the school was a few blocks away in the Folger’s building. I recently attended an event at the new campus and it’s a really beautiful facility.
The Embarcadero At Night
I had gone out to photograph the super moon back in May but that didn’t work out quite as planned so I looked for other subjects.
The View from the Terrace at the Trump Tower Chicago
The view from the terrace is quite impressive. The height is just right to appreciate the architectural detail of the surrounding historic buildings. The clock tower is part of the Wrigley Building which was built in the early 1920s. And while the view falls in the “don’t miss” category, I found their cocktails over priced and unimpressive.
