Fleet Week In San Francisco 2009

Hampered and curtailed by fog, here's my take (youtube slideshow) from the Blue Angels Air Show in San Francisco, October 2009.

the Marvelous, Diverse Marine County's GGNRA

A wonderful respite just 7 miles from mi casa! I find sanity there frequently (not nearly enough).

A Fog Fest Slideshow

A foggy day shoot in late September produced these "FogDawgs @ the Gate #3" shots. Music provided by a young 2 brother band called 'Freelands' who magically 'wafted' thru my life one day last week. He gave permission to use this music. Via email Alireza Kamran writes:


The music is recorded by my brother (Navid) and I. We like to call our 2-man band Freelands. On this particular song, Wahaj Bukhari, a good friend of mine, came up with the guitar line. I picked that up, replayed it, wrote the lyrics, and sang it. My brother added the electric piano and keys.


Have a great day,

Here


Here on the starts I stand tonight
With a star in my eyes and a scar in my heart
There I recall what I have been told
All our souls are tied to grow (All our dreams are tied to go)
The kid in my reason cannot even chase
Butterflies of where we are, or where we go

Here I am... show me your love
Here I am... show me your truth
Here I am... show me your face
Here I am... show me you love


I think there's great things in store for these young men.

The Pigeon Pt. Lighthouse Shoot

The second of 3 days to hopefully capture the 'perfect picture'...tomorrow is the best possible scenario until 2010....I'll be up at 3am!

Fly Fishing In Golden Gate Park!

A very serendipitous stop at the Angler's Lodge for a quiet shoot encountered Floyd Dean and wife working on the some advanced techniques of Fly Casting. Floyd is an FFF Certified Master Fly Casting Instructor. He showed me some of his incredible skills including writing my initials, skipping a fly to make it look like a real insect (unattached)and even a new mechanical aid to physically teach the 'feel' of proper casting! His lovely wife Janet seemed awfully good to me but only he could write SOS!
