From the Embarcadero in San Francisco 3/7/2014
Found out an hour before the show that Janelle Monae was playing a free concert at the Justin Herman plaza for the 15th year anniversary of the company Sales Force. Janelle Monae was amazing. Best of all, the lighting was near perfect.
For the tech nerds, I took these shots with a 90mm Leica Elmarit at f5.6 iso 100 + canon 5dmk2.
From Richardson Beach. Hilo HI
I found these beautiful lagoons while driving through Richardson Beach, in Hilo. Using a polarizing filter, I was able to get some underwater detail in the foreground of these shots.

Sitting at the Daylight Mind Cafe in Kona, my first thought was that I had packed the wrong lens for the excursion, a 35mm prime. Despite the fact, I was able to grab these photos of some dude killing it.
Taken in Berkeley CA.
"Got the map, where's the treasure?" I wish I knew.
Apple Box - Petaluma CA
This coffee shop in Petaluma CA had an interesting look. The neon sign in the background caught my eye. It says 'Prescribtions'. I'm not sure if it's a misspelling or not. I liked how the sign reflected on the mirror behind.
Met this interesting character tonight. His name is King Kobbler. I bought an apple cobbler from him and he let me take this picture. Look him up on facebook under 'King Kobbler'.
Marina Guastucci aka. The Yoga Vagabond.
Playing around with a 35mm Leica Elmarit 2.8. I'm impressed with the color and sharpness. Not bad for a lens made in 1964.
Like everything else worth learning, photography is a discipline that needs to be practiced every day in order to be proficient in it. While driving on Mission St. today, I noticed a lot of interesting looking people and places. I put my camera on my front seat and snapped photos at every stop. The colors at this produce market caught my eye and I was lucky enough to grab this still. If you shoot every day, not every photo will be a masterpiece, but every photo will teach you a lesson.
