318/365. The convenient truth — it's just a few train stops away
This shot was pretty fun. Immediately after shooting it, it reminded me of An Inconvenient Truth, however the convenient truth is that as a photographer, I feel extremely blessed to live in a city like San Francisco where it takes 10 minutes of public transportation to get to views like this, even if it takes a dragon claw lookin' speedlight setup to light up the subject.
On another note, I want to encourage everyone again that if you've been enjoying this crazy 365 along with each setup with bizarre strobist info, then vote for me for Flickr's Photographer of the Year in the 3rd annual Mashable Open Web Awards.
And of course, without further reading...

156/365. You can't front on that ~ Beastie Boys (What'cha want)
Feels good to be back in the flow of things — took out the D3 to break it in, and was surprisingly (although not "too" surprisingly) introduced to teenagers of the Mission District. They thought I was filming a movie at first (I'm sure they haven't seen real video cameras), then they thought I was a photographer for the local news after I asked them if they would like to be in the photo...
There is however an unseen aspect of this photo, and it's the other 10 kids (their friends) watching as I take this shot. I reviewed the photo with them afterward on the LCD screen and they were of course excited and amazed.
But alas, to finally come back from strobist-info-free vacation... we can continue our addictions

22/365. I'm twenty two, don't know what I'm supposed to do
or how to be, to get some more out of me
I'm twenty two, so far away from all my dreams
I'm twenty two, feeling blue ~ Millencolin
I know, that was a massive quote for today's 365 photo, but deal with it! On a more important note, I finally decided to lift my camera up from the ground... and it was rather pleasant. And on another note, it's Thirsty Thursday! So right after I post this photo, I'm gonna have a few sips of Allagash, then head home (on a bus, of course).
Also, I'm horribly sorry I haven't visited many of your streams too much lately. I've been quite busy with work, life, and strobe experimenting. I promise I'll eventually get to everyone soon enough. See you tomorrow (or possibly tonight). Cheers

This was shot immediately before we left for the NYE party. If you were wondering, this is *not* an HDR image... just a combination of ISO 3200, and a gorgeous San Francisco pink sky. view large on black

Made a pit stop at a gift shop while in Belize. So while Erin shopped around inside, I was able to snap this photo out on the road. This one was straight out of the camera... and yet another reason I <3 my circular polarizer.

This was our first stop for food in Belize, about half way en route to the jungle at Black Rock.
