11/4/10 - Day 321
Driving into San Francisco this evening, I was stuck in traffic so pulled out the trusty SymmetriCam on my cell phone to capture an image for P365.  It wasn't until I got back to my hotel and put it on the computer that I realized the brightness of the tail lights would qualify for today's Daily Shoot #354: "Today, make a photo that emphasizes or even exaggerates brightness in a scene."

As an aside, the high-rise building that dominates the skyline in 4 locations is a residential project for which my firm managed the development from the ground up (One Rincon Hill).

Public Art x 4

10/28/10 - Day 314
Today's Daily Shoot #347 just screamed once again for going to the SymmetriCam on my smart phone: "Make a photograph today that has a strongly centered composition."  The subject was selected based on a request from my Flickr friend @muffett68 to see more of the sculpture and building shown in yesterday's post.

This sculpture is a custom designed water feature for a 3 building campus project we completed about two years ago.  Providing public art was part of the requirements necessary to obtain the municipal entitlements.

Check out my Flickr set on SymmetriCam shots for more images using this sculpture.

Heartbreak

8/25/10 - Day 250
The Giants lost a heartbreaker today to the Reds in 12 innings.  Nonetheless, it was a beautiful day at AT&T Park.

Set Sail

8/18/10 - Day 243
PMA Chicago summer outing was sailing on Lake Michigan.  Beautiful day with light winds.  Departed from Burnham Harbor, sailed north to almost Navy Pier and then returned.  Some great photo ops...this is just one of several.  Check back on the blog for a link to other skyline and sailing shots.

CME

8/12/10 - Day 237
Toured one of our completed projects today in San Diego, the County Medical Examiner building. I shot an image of the facade in response to today's Daily Shoot assignment #270: "Find a repeating pattern and make a photo of it today."

Light at the End of the Tunnel

7/21/10 - Day 215
Nope, actually "Light at the Top of the Skylight" would be a more accurate description.  Humongous skylight shot today at one of our construction projects.

All Hands on Deck

6/9/10 - Day 173
Preparation for an upcoming concrete mat slab pour on one of our South San Francisco projects.

Pumping Concrete

4/27/10 - Day 130
Visited some PMA project jobsites today in San Diego.  Some great things going on.  This is a shot of concrete columns being poured for a multi-level parking structure.

Rube Goldberg

3/3/10 - Day 75
Did a walk-thru of an existing property today, including the roof.  This image is a small section of the maze of piping, ductwork and equipment.

Two Months Down

2/18/10 - Day 62

Tomorrow will be a difficult day to shoot so I decided to do the "start of month" self-portrait one day early.

The Taper

2/16/10 - Day 60

My plan today was to shoot at one of our construction sites.  This just happened to coincide with the Daily Shoot assignment.  It's great when that happens!

Wind Sculpture

2/4/10 - Day 48

Public art commissioned for one of our completed development projects in the Bay Area.

Jailbreak 2?

2/3/10 - Day 47

Nope.  Just some exterior stud wall construction going on at one of my project sites.  See Day 18 for an earlier image in the Jailbreak series.

One Month Down

1/19/10 - Day 32

Today marks the start of the second month for my Project 365.  I've heard that tradition requires the first image of every month (the 19th, in my case) to be a self-portrait.  This image was taken at one of our recently completed projects in Redwood City, CA.  The glass curtainwall and earlier rainstorm makes for some interesting reflections on the building and pavement.

60th Surprise!

1/16/10 - Day 29

Surprise birthday party for my partner hosted by his lovely Mrs. Wonderful.  No one spilled the beans and Mike didn't have a clue.

Jailbreak?

1/5/10 - Day 18

Nope.  Just some concrete wall demolition going on at one of my project construction sites.

PMA DC

12/23/09

Following the annual PMA Cinefest, a few of us went to Bull & Bear for PMA Holiday DC (drinking club).   Pressure was on from my colleagues for today's shot to represent DC, so I elbowed my way to the bar and took a few shots of the spirits and beer taps.  The name on the tap is what we are all hoping for this year.
