349/365. Love — be spontaneous
Everyone, meet Megan, Claude, and their Moms. They just got married.
Continuing along with the end of the year favorite photographers, I wanted to call out Maxime Villalonga, a Paris based Photographer from whom I've also gathered much inspiration and has heavily influenced my own photography. Give his work a look and click back a few pages.
strobist: SB-900 @ 1/16 @ 17mm w/ 1/2 CTO thru 50" big mama softbox. front left of frame.

164/365. What's the hurry? ~ Imogen Heap (Have you got it in you?)
— worth viewing large
Tonight I made some killer homemade margaritas. Immediately after finishing I headed downtown to one of my favorite BART stops & popular San Francisco destination — Powell & Market. I figured it would make an interesting challenge... having no primary goal but to just "go there"
Anyhow, this quote is from a song by Imogen Heap who was apparently playing live in the Twoffice during my interview, and I never got to meet her. My Wife has always been a huge fan.
Lastly, I had an enthusiastic tourist couple watch my camera gear as it all triggered off in harmony. I completely forgot to give them my information (as they were originally interested in). Oh well.
Ok, you've read enough...

138/365. Am I just going to accept, someone elses point of view ~ Less Than Jake (Krazy Glue) 1996
This shot appropriately depicts my influence in photography. I often receive suggestions on how to do things differently with my photos — these suggestions usually drive me to do the exact opposite, and come up with something completely different....
But enough with the sappy, I took this shot on my way to a cab en route to return the D3 rental. Calumet Photo as it turns out, is just way too damn expensive. They wanted $800 for the week — whereas Borrow Lenses charges $289! ¡Mucho Mejor! I definitely recommend them if you live anywhere in the Bay Area.
In the meantime, my camera arrived at Nikon Service Center today - I am awaiting an estimate.
camera info: Nikon D3 | 85mm(ƒ/1.4D) | ƒ/1.4 | ISO 200 | 1/8,000s
strobist: Fireball thru clouded sheet - 5:30pm
location: 4th & Folsom, San Francisco

This is a small bridge near Building 43 at Google. There's no real reason for it being a bridge — poor planning I suppose. You can walk right next to it without walking over anything. I'm also loving shooting in 4/3's (or, of course 3/4). It looks more like the magical rectangle thus being more pleasant to the eye. HBW!
Explorer'd!

196/365. Long Days — Kick off your shoes
I'm rarely home by the time my wife gets home. But these are usually the first things I see at the door when coming home. At least one of them deserved a proper photo. And that's a night.

14/365. Best Wishes To Your Black Lung ~ Less Than Jake.
This was shot in Mountain View (again) immediately before Dave made fun of me for shooting flowers. We had a good laugh. For the record, it was dandelions, not flowers... but really, all the same stuff. The quote from Less Than Jake when one of their band members left the band to go become a Fire Fighter.
Happy Bokeh Wednesday everyone and SYT.
