Street shooting vol.1
There is still a lot I have to learn about photography, but something that I’ve always envied were street shooters. While I take inanimate objects, and try to breed life into them, street photographers capture raw emotion and the heat of a moment. So I figured for once, I’d give it a whirl, and I must say I enjoyed it. This adventure, while not producing the most spectacular imagery, did teach me a couple lessons. First, people get really afraid when you still a serious camera in their face, I understand now why so many still use smaller film/leica digitals. Second, this shit is really hard, shooting in the city requires memorizing setting for different lighting conditions. Or at least, my inexperience caused me to have to do it. whatever, it was way more entertaining then I expected, and will more then likely give it a shot again. Please tell me what you think…
FYI, this isn’t ALL the shots I took, I’ll post more later. I need a reason for people to come back to my site damnit!
Relocated
One thing about living in San Francisco is that there is always change and movement, such is the case with actually residing in the city. Considering 90% of the people in the city could probably never afford to own their current residence, you never know when you may need to pull up the stakes and relocate. I found myself in this sitation recently, and I can say that having to relocate puts everything else on hold. It shuts dow your work productivity, your social life, and in some cases your health (see also: fucked up back). Regardless I find the change refreshing, and sometimes look forward to it, but the single thing I hate most about moving… is having to deal with my shoes.
This picture is actually cart one of three needed to move just my shoes. I’m not gloating, I just like shoes, and its a bitch of an obsession to deal with. I’m finally set up in my new digs and settled in, which means I can turn my focus back to other projects, such as this site. Thanks for sticking around, and lets get on with the show. Cheers
