Almost a Sphere

10/18/10 - Day 304
Still a few days away for the full moon. Shot for today's Daily Shoot assignment #337: "Make a photograph of a curved line or spherical surface today."

Never Gets Old

9/27/10 - Day 283
The title says it all. Spent the afternoon on the beach and then at a taverna to watch the sunset.

My Kinda Town

9/11/10 - Day 267
Beautiful late afternoon dinner cruise on Lake Michigan with great friends.

Cookie Tosser

9/6/10 - Day 262
Taken today at Buffalo Grove Days, our community festival, for Daily Shoot assignment #295: "Welcome the new week (and holiday in the US) by making a bright cheery photo outdoors and posting it today."

Sunrise

8/31/10 - Day 256
Got today's Daily Shoot assignment #289 done early: "Illustrate your local weather today with a photo. Rain or shine. Cloudy or clear. Communicate what it's like to the world."  [processed in Photogene on the iPad]

Hole in the Grass to the Sky

8/21/10 - Day 246
There are many days when it is tough to get one shot, but today I had the opportunity for two. I used this shot for today's Daily Shoot assignment #279: "Make a photograph from a high point of view. Get on top of a building, use a ladder, or just look down at a small object."  Thought it was a cool image so decided to upload to P365 as well.

"X" Marks the Spot

8/9/10 - Day 234
I see this building from my office window and knew early in the day that I found my triangles for today's Daily Shoot #267.

600 MPH

7/28/10 - Day 222
A typical day of motion...shot for today's Daily Shoot #255: "The world is always in motion. Make a photo that conveys a bit of your own motion to your viewer."   Chasing the sunset on the way home from Boston.

Twin Peaks

7/24/10 - Day 218
Another shot taken at the Denver airport.  The cloudy skies make an interesting negative space for the peaks of the airport structure…or is it the other way around?  Daily Shoot assignment #251.

Zebra Clouds

7/13/10 - Day 207
Even after a couple million miles of flying, until today I never saw a cloud pattern like this.

June in SSF

6/7/10 - Day 171
Walked down to the marina after working today in my South San Francisco office.  The wind was whipping and the temp was chilly.  I tried to capture the wind in the foreground tree branches and used b/w to convey the coolness of the air.  Don't know if it worked, but I do know it was pretty uncomfortable out!

Great Day!

6/6/10 - Day 170
Beautiful day today (up until 2pm) which meant a great 40 mile bike ride and then hanging out on the deck.  I checked the Daily Shoot #203: "Lens flare is typically avoided, but can be used deliberately to good effect.  Make a photo with creative lens flare."  I was able to fulfill that assignment and describe the day in one shot.

Bug's Eye View

5/23/10 - Day 156
The rotating screen on the new Samsung TL500 is awesome.  It twists and turns and makes it pretty easy to frame atypical view angles.  This shot of flowers and finch feeders also is my Daily Shoot submission today.

Hole in the Sky

5/21/10 - Day 154
Flying into O'Hare today, we were dodging the clouds.  We landed under a ceiling of dark clouds.  Taxiing to the gate, I saw this bright spot and was able to get the camera out in time to capture it.

Wipeout

2/22/10 - Day 66
Not really a wipeout.  Last run of the day and my legs were shot.  So I laid down in the snow and framed the sun with my skis.  Taking this photo was a great excuse for a rest.

Fog Layer

2/15/10 - Day 59

In all the years I've been flying into SFO, the fog layer has never been this low.  This image is the of the San Mateo Bridge peeking through the clouds while on approach.  We were in the clouds until seconds before touchdown.
