trying to get back in the swing of the daily shots thing. been shooting gigs and projects, but not so much for me. 
thought this was interesting. i suppose they'd rather the trash ended up on the ground?

old harding theatre. a developer is hoping to turn this into condos, which is a shame, because the stage and theatre are still intact. it would be wonderful to revive it for use.

i totally got lucky with this shot at point lobos state park.  a doe and two fawns just ran down onto the "beach" towards us and stopped to graze for a moment. i just waited until this one looked up. then crazy tourists started getting closer and closer, crowding the deer and they, of course, ran off. duh!

went back down to point lobos quickly the next morning, thinking i'd shoot some macro shots of crabs and what not. i wasn't really too happy with anything, though. this i shot with the good ol' 28-80 kit lens. thought it seemed a little eerie and post-apocalyptic...

did a green screen studio shoot (something i've never really done before) for some pre-production pr for an indie movie being shot in the bay area. picked a few that i liked, which was hard since i ended with over 450 shots!

i know this isn't the best shot *technically*, but i kind of like the soft feel the slight out of focus-ness lends it. it is nearly impossible to get a perfectly sharp shot of a 3 1/2 yr old, especially in low light!
