Winter Summer II

Another iPhone capture of things that catch my eye. This time: the gorgeous weather we have been experiencing as of late here in San Francisco. My roommate and I have begun calling it “Winter Summer.” On Sunday, I went for a walk from my house in the Mission up to the Haight to once again try to capture some interesting photos to submit for Round 3 of the 200 Yards project. The weather was perfect and as I was returning home I stumbled across this view, I love how this image perfectly summarizes the good parts of this City: the hills, the weather, Muni, and the old buildings.
Hills Brothers Coffee

Another iPhone capture of things that catch my eye. This time: this lovely brick building down on the Embarcadero (yes I know I’ve been spending a lot of time down there lately). I like how this processing effect made the image look older than the present day (although there are lots of hints that we are in 2011 San Francisco).
Da Wharf

Another iPhone capture of things that catch my eye. This time: this building that I found along the Embarcadero wharf the other day. I loved the ladder to nowhere and the pipes along the right hand edge. A little iPhone processing brought out the worn details in the building and I really like this image.
Embarcadero Juxtaposition

Another iPhone capture of things that catch my eye. This time: this juxtaposition of old and new along the Embarcadero. The other day while walking down the Embarcadero I was noticing the layering effect that you get when looking towards downtown. In the distance, there are the shiny glass buildings of SOMA. While across the street there are old brick buildings. At points you also have the stark concrete of the Bay Bridge. At some points (including the one above) you get all three in one frame.
Bel Air

Another iPhone capture of things that catch my eye. This time: this shiny, vintage Bel Air that I ran across the other day in the Financial District. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a car this shiny and pretty.
Winter Summer

Another iPhone capture of things that catch my eye. This time: a little corner of the San Francisco Mission. This week we in San Francisco have experienced one of the about 10 seasons we seem to have in this city, the winter summer. Sorry to all of you that have been bogged down with snow and rain, but this week we’ve had sunny skies and temperatures in the 60s. I went for a walk earlier this week to enjoy this lovely weather and liked how the blue sky contrasted with the yellow of the cross and with the white of the adobe.
Lone Glove

Another iPhone capture of things that catch my eye. This time: a photograph that I took a few weeks ago, but somehow got lost in the shuffle. This lone, little glove was sliding around the light rail car last time I was visiting my family in Sacramento.
Golden Hour Reflection

Another iPhone capture of things that catch my eye. This time: a reflection I found the other day while wandering down Market Street during the photographer’s favorite hour AKA “The Golden Hour.”
Vents

Another iPhone capture of things that catch my eye. This time: this row of vents along the side of the SF MOMA.
Benday Dots

Another iPhone capture of things that catch my eye. This time: a closeup of an art installation I ran across on the Embarcadero the other day. I was in the middle of reading The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay and the dots reminded me of old school comic books.
Lingering Christmas Lights

Another iPhone capture of things that catch my eye. This time: some lingering Christmas lights I found while walking to the grocery store last night. I much prefer this lingering piece of Christmas over the piles of discarded Christmas trees on every street corner in the neighborhood.
Destruction

Another iPhone capture of things that catch my eye. This time: some sort of construction equipment that created a huge mess while tearing down a building.
Raygun Gothic Rocketship

Another iPhone capture of things that catch my eye. This time: the Raygun Gothic Rocketship that has been installed on the Embarcadero since August. I love the retro-aspect of this sculpture and attempted to emphasize it with my iPhone processing.
Cracked

Another iPhone capture of things that catch my eye. This time: my roommate and I walked from our house to the SFMOMA to check out the Henri-Cartier Bresson exhibit. On our way we decided that we would take pictures along the theme of ‘cracked.’ This odd little plastic thing implanted into concrete was my favorite shot. I like the pop of color in the gray background.
Jars and Canisters

Another iPhone capture of things that catch my eye. This time: the final shot from the Sebastopol Gravenstein Apple Fair. Near all the old machines they had this table of objects. I’ve been in a bit of a mason jar collecting phase as of late and I love the colors of the food canisters.
Maytag Washer

Another iPhone capture of things that catch my eye. This time: another one of the machines I found at the Sebastopol Gravenstein Apple Fair. This old Maytag washer was well used and I liked the textural component of the “Maytag” label on the side of the machine.
Red Machine

Another iPhone capture of things that catch my eye. This time: a section of old machines at the Sebastopol Gravenstein Apple Fair this weekend. I was enamored with the whole section of machines. You could see exactly how each of them worked and they seemed logical to repair, unlike so many modern machines.
Geraniums in a Row

Another iPhone capture of things that catch my eye. This time: These pots were on the windowsill of the lighthouse in Monterey. I love the texture of the wood in contrast with the clean lines of the terra cotta pots.
Window of Owls

Another iPhone capture of things that catch my eye. This time: One of my all-time favorite window displays in San Francisco. It’s located right near Dolores Park and is an entire collection of OWLS!
Weathered Gate
Another iPhone capture of things that catch my eye. This time: another photo obsession of mine, taking photos of objects weathered by time and nature.
Dragon Knocker
Another iPhone capture of things that catch my eye. This time: the contrast of the brass on the red paint.
Ford Truck
Another iPhone capture of things that catch my eye. This time: an awesome old truck that was parked just outside my alley.
X Marks the Spot
Another iPhone capture of things that catch my eye. This time: the repetition of the x’s. Oddly this set of windows is within a couple blocks of my house and I’d never noticed it until this day. Now I see it every time I pass. It’s odd how that works sometimes.
Tail Lights
Another iPhone capture of things that catch my eye. This time: This car is regularly parked in one of the alleys near my house. It’s always so shiny and pretty. Speaking of cars, the other morning I was walking to work and noticed the cutest little old lady getting into a totally spiffy purple hot rod. It made me wonder, when we are old, what will be the cool car of our generation?
